dowlong148...I guess when Ty was there things got so bad that even NAVY had better recruiting classes....ND is a joke and not a very funny one at that.

no willingham probably shouldnt have been fired......the problem with firing coaches like that and bringing in someone new is that the players that are in place may not fit the new coaches sytem......and the new coach pretty much loses their first recruiting class (like what happned to weiss) because recruits are unsure what is going to happen and commit elsewhere

Charlie is thinking that he can tank the season away to get a better draft choice next year. DOH wait a minute this is college he's thinking and realizes there are no Draft Choices. Oh Well the ND fans will love me anyways with my play calling. If I keep this up I will be the Dumb Coach of the year =)

What was that call on the two point conversion attempt. A run up the middle? Horrible call. And then Weis is a jerk to the sideline reporter. An obvious graduate of the Belichick school of jerkery, without the coaching skills. Fire the idiot!

jmb9919 if you give any decent coach time, he will turn around most programs. However, ND made it clear that TY Willingham was not good enough...But he didn't get the time turn the team, didn't even see his class graduate. Now how long does ND gives Weis....if he wins a National Championship in 10 years was he justified to have the Job. I don't think so....BILL FITCH loss 1000 basketball games, however he got a chance to coach the Boston Celtics with Bird, Mchale, and Parish, and he won a NBA Title. Does that make him a great coach. No, he has merely been given enough opportunities to win unlike a BLACK coach would be given. ANother example, Byron Scott being fired by the New Jersey nets after 2 trips to the NBA Championship Series. Now the coach of NJ NEts have never came close with Lawrence Franks.

Ok ND sucks, but to say they dont have history is quite possibly the most idiotic, iggnorant, pile of blabber ever spewed from any morons mouth. Please shut up and go away.

you idiots who think weiss should be fired are....idiots....... .....a coach is only as good as his talent (which ND has none of)......you have to be patient, firing a coach after 2 or 3 years will only continue to hurt your program........weiss has had some good recruiting classes (and a top one coming in) and they need to let some of those players develop and then see wherer the program is at

The only reason I HATE Notre Dame is becuase of their ridiculously stupid NBC contract. ND is NOT America's team, I actually love watching them this season. I cheer for them to get blown out on national television and hope all that High School talent is out their watching and choosing not to go to ND. I feel bad for the kids who work as hard as the players at ND only to have it tranlsate into losses that are solely attributable to the coaches.
I bleed purple and gold, GO HUSKIES OF WASHINGTON, BOW DOWN!!

Enough about Willingham already. He deserved to be fired, so they canned him. They didnt fire Ty so they could hire Weis. They fired Ty because he sucked. With that said, Weis sucks more, and it's time for his firing too. But i still dont think any coach wants this job anymore...why would he?

As an ND fan that has defended Charlie, I am officially on the fire him bandwagon. How the hell do you not attempt the game winning field goal? Did he bet on this game? His ego is bigger than ND football and he needs to go. Ty or Bob Davey would have kicked the ball. This is one of the lowest moments in ND history, thanks Charlie you fat ####.

Could you imagine the kind of popularity a coach would get from turning a falling Notre Dame program around, though. What kind of coach wouldn't want that opportunity. They may be worthless now, but there is no denying their history.
Example:Lou Pinella to the Cubs. They haven't won a World Series in 100 years, but he knows what he'll gain if he does lead them to a title.

Yes FIRE WEIS....he should have kicked the field goal and you run a stretch play to tie the game. Offensive Genius...If WEIS was a minority coach, he would be fired either tomorrow or end of season....No one can defend the firing of WIllingham after this fiasco. WIllingham never had a season this bad, even with bob davies players. Yet not one sports network will question ND to fire Weis....incredible

I have loved Notre Dame for my 37 years of life. I grew up in North Central Indiana and always rooted/watched/pretended to be Notre Dame.
I was at the famous 31-30 Miami game in 1988 with my father.
Today, I found myself rooting for Navy at the end of the game. The players are smaller, slower, not recruited etc. etc. etc. ND had a 40 pound per man advantage on the line. They definatley play with heart and their coach gets alot out of them. I have no idea what Weis is doing. Oh, and why not try a 41 yd field goal with 40 seconds in regulation?
If other teams can win with much less talent that ND, what makes ND administrators think that Weis will be able to do much better next year? He is a catastrophe. How long is his contract for, 5 years??
charlie weis may need his head stapled instead of his stomach. go home genius....
If he were black like Ty then he'd be long gone. Ty was 6-5 and they said get your black ass out of here. Charlie took over and he'll be 1-10. Oh, but he's white and of course it's a white man's world and you here these white people saying it's not the same. Damn skippy it's not the same, Weis is white....that's why it's not the same. Why else would he still be there, just like Bush the true war criminal of our time has not been censured nor impeached. He's an idiot like Bush so white america embraces him because they can so closely relate to those with minimal IQ's. He's one of the good old boys who probably hangs nooses on in Crawford for fun and call it adolescent pranks just like Jena. KEEP CHARLIE WEIS NOTRE DAME AND HOPEFULLY YOU'LL GO 0-11 NEXT YEAR YOU NON GODLY LOSERS! PS TRUE CHRISTIANS, {LOVE THY NEIGHBOR "GODS WORDS"}, WHETHER BLACK, WHITE, STRAIGHT OR GAY!
