He said prior to the Stanford game he'd totally understand if Notre Dame officials decided to give him his walking papers. Now, unlike most of us, Weis won't be posting a resume on Monster dot com. If we mere
mortals got canned, and sent away with 18 million
dollars nicely tucked away in a bank account, it would
be tropical drinks, beach, ocean and Directv for the rest of our lives.
But not Charlie. He says at least six NFL teams have expressed interest in him becoming an offensive coordinator. That sounds like a good place for Weis.
As Dirty Harry once said, "A man's got to know his limitations."
So the university with egg on its face is Notre Dame. Athletic director Jack Swarbrick said in a news release, "We have great expectations for our football program, and we have not been able to meet those expectations."
Weis had a whopping six years left on his contract. So, what this means if you're a Notre Dame alum is check the caller ID on your phone before answering. The university just lost a huge chunk of money and they might have their hand out for donations.
Weis' record of 35-27 in five seasons makes Tyrone Willingham and Bob Davie seem like bargains.
Rest assured the next coach is going to get paid recession dollars. Here's an idea, how about loading a contract up with incentive bonuses! Top 10 finish... more money, BCS Bowl game... more money... National Championship... priceless.
Well, send The Leprechaun out on the recruiting trail. Just keep in mind, there's no longer a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
