"Thats what losers do"...C. Weis
I will just post the link and let the board do its thing. Do it.

He is such a charmer, that Weis.
I like the reference about the hit he took on the side line last season. Only if I knew how to embed that clip...
Charlie Weis is fat and stupid and arrogant and untalented and overpaid
there
u forgot fat, overweight, fat, whale-like, and fat.
oh goodness you're right, my mistake
i also forgot corpulent and fat
... standard fluff piece to keep the domers happy. I think I hate ND more than OSU, because OSU at least wins a lot of games. How long has it been since ND has been relevant? It's aggravating.
edit: I just thought about who I would root against if ND was playing OSU. Answer: I'd shoot myself instead of watching that, so maybe my hatred is equally distributed.
You shoot the lawyer twice and--shit, wrong joke. Never mind!
gahhh....the arrogance just bursts right through your computer screen. I couldn't read the whole thing.
a room named after him at a steakhouse? I'm shocked...
He had withdrawl and couldn't eat how did he live without pounding 20 000 calories a day wait thats only if he keeps to his 20 twinkie maximum sorry.
a CFB coach more hated than Weis in recent history?
Rich Rod, by West by god Virginia. Maybe more.
I guess I meant on a more national scale. And for my second snide comment of the night, no one cares about what WV fans think.
There are a lot of spurned fanbases out there. You would not believe how much LSU fans despise Nick Saban, even though he built their current program up.
Weis may be in a class of his own when it comes to national loathing, though.
"Nothing pisses me off more than mental errors," Weis told the offense Wednesday afternoon. "That's an advantage we should have at this place. To have mental errors with people not knowing what to do is inexcusable. The party is over! You're going to be held accountable. There is no excuse for mental errors. Zero. You got your ass whipped, I can live with it. Mental errors, I got zero tolerance."
Presumably, his fantastic call to go for it on 4th and forever against Navy wasn't a mental error.
He doesn't make mental errors. He just makes decisions whose genius has not yet been understood.
Weis wasn't calling the plays during that game, and that could be a good reason why their 2008 OC is now at miami of ohio
OCs don't decide to go for it on 4th down. Head coaches do. Also, it was in 2007.
The OC may have called the specific play, but there's no way he made the decision to go for it.
"I got gas in my stomach," Weis said Thursday morning, "but I'm not as weak as I was yesterday."
..."You telling us you're going to pass gas?" Powlus asked.
-Another groundbreaking piece from ESPN, hard to believe they are losing their audience.
No, i think that's actually hardhitting journalism. Powlus was probably under the assumption that Weis could only be so huge based on being a giant fucking gasbag. This might explain everything. Weis isn't fat, he's just full of gas.
"I got gas in my stomach," Weis said Thursday morning, "but I'm not as weak as I was yesterday.".i>
Yeah, that and an entire Krispy Kreme tractor trailer. And a good portion of Terre Haute.
it'll be sad when ol charlie is fired after this year
Don't count your chickens. Maybe he'll be saved by a decent showing against a weak schedule. Notre Dame's opponents for 2009 (w/ 2008 record):
Nevada (7-6)
Michigan (3-9)
Michigan State (9-4)
Purdue (4-8)
Washington (0-12)
USC (12-1)
Boston College (9-5)
Washington State (2-11)
Navy (8-5)
Pitt (9-4)
UConn (8-5)
Stanford (5-7)
Seriously, outside of USC, every game is winnable. We all know they won't go 11-1, but it isn't inconceivable that they could finish at 9-3. I'd bet worse than that, but he could salvage his job for another couple years. (I'm already gagging at the thought of it.)
going 8-4 when they play the likes of Nevada, UConn, Navy, UW and WSU. If they keep scheduling cupcake schools to inflate their record, ND will see the recruiting classes drop and it will be but a different mean to the same end: Weis fired.
Why are we doing this. Three of those teams you listed -- Nevada, Navy and UConn -- have been perennial bowl teams lately.
The other two, Washington and WSU were BCS teams in the early 2000s when those games were probably scheduled.
And yes , it makes me angry that we are now calling up the Delaware states of the world, thereby costing us the ability to laugh at mediocre schedules like this one.
Just as a follow-up to my previous post... When I was looking up the other teams on Notre Dame's schedule, I visited their official websites. I've always thought that the MGoBlue website could use some improvements -- it just doesn't look very clean and could use some enhancements. I noticed that most of the other teams' sites all looked the same. Outside of Michigan and Nevada, every other team on that list uses CBS Interactive for their homepage (as does the Big Ten Network). But they still had several deficiencies. You'd think we could assign a project to some college students, and they could come up with a better looking site...
I wouldn't mind him salvaging his job. I could see him being the John Cooper of OSU.
I'm the only one who has a hard time ripping on ND's schedule when their schedule should have one more elite team on it, but as we are all aware, that team is very far from elite right now.
I wasn't ripping on them for making the schedule... I agree that it probably looked like a very good schedule five years ago when they were making it. My point was simply that Weis will likely benefit from the way it looks now.
"He even flung open the doors of his private dining room at the Ruth's Chris Steakhouse in Mishawaka. Yes, there is a Charlie Weis Room, with pictures of his team and his family. To locate it, look two doors down from the Regis Philbin Room.
Why now? If the Irish do return from the BCS dead this fall, it would violate Weis' competitive creed to open the team's doors after they succeed.
"Losers call the guys up after they won because they want to say, 'I told you so,' or 'You were wrong about me.' I don't want to do that. I don't want to do what those people do.""
C'mon, Chuck you're not fooling anyone. You're not humble. You're just hungry.
to make his obligatory Hawai'ian shirt for the Hawai'i bowl did they just rip the wallpaper off of the Waikiki beach holiday inn?
I believe it was the drapes.
