Weis attacks Carroll's morals

to sleep with a grad student.

For science. And love.

And it can be national news for all I care.

EDIT: I'm such a hopeless romantic.

1a. Charlie, it's not news in Los Angeles because Pete Carroll isn't the only guy in town making $4 million a year. Why pay attention to Carroll when the city is full of movie stars?

1b. Likewise, you're the only game in South Bend, Chaz. There's a lot less to talk about there, if you haven't noticed.

2. Carroll's free to date all the grad students he wants, there's nothing unethical about it (I'm assuming, given the situation that Weis describes, that he's separated from his wife to begin with). All Weis is doing is dragging this girl into the spotlight.

3. From my quick Googling, it looks like Carroll makes a concerted effort to keep his private life private. There's very little out there on his wife and almost nothing on the girlfriend, as far as I can see.

After all, he's eating for two....Butts, that is.

Who has ever criticized Weis for swearing? Is this another one of those harmful things the media keeps putting out to ruin his family's life? I can't wait until this scumbag is out of the limelight and I never have to see another quote from him again. He may have a problem with Carroll's private life, but I'm pretty sure gluttony is one of the seven deadly sins, too (though I base my religious knowledge solely on Brad Pitt movies).

People who live in glass houses shouldn't get so fat that they can't fit through the door, Charlie.

leads to an excerpt from, and a link to, the interview, at http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/news?slug=rivals-342192. The version of this interview at "Irish Illustrated.com" (http://notredame.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1025063) linked by "Irish" in an earlier post (http://mgoblog.com/mgoboard/coach-weis) is nearly identical, but strangely missing the one paragraph quoted above. (I wonder why the discrepency -- the "Irish Times" version doesn't reveal the posting time and so I can't establish which version has priority. But maybe an attempt was being made after the fact to retroactively erase this jab at Carrol? At any rate, at least two similar, but not identical, versions of the same interview are floating around the intertubes.) This explains to me why "Irish" made no mention of the above in the editorial comments in his own post.

Chuckie, No!

My one and only question is, is this grad student smoking hot? Or is she like the troll Phillips shacked up with? Pics or it didn't happen imo.

I guess Carroll is lucky his name isn't Tiger.

Because it certain distracted Carroll this year....

Charlie Weis is a dick. I hope that guy's career is over and he ends up on "The Biggest Loser" with Mark Mangino and one of the Baldwins.

I questioned Charlie Weis about his unsavory appetites and all he could say was OM NOM NOM CHEESEBURGERS.

I just get horrible, dreadful visions with this post:

Pete Carroll didn't cause the defensive issues at Notre Dame although the question did sound like a bit of a fishing expedition on the reporters part.

would make me very happy. Weis may have done UM, and a lot of other programs, a HUGE favor by dragging PC into the muck with him.

He really is the gift that keeps on giving!

In article on SI a week or two ago, Rosenberg rhapsodized about how much more he liked Weis now that he was a loser, finding him more humble, classy, etc, etc, etc. Now Weis is flinging poo as he's going down in a desperate attempt to drag his nemeses down into the pit with him.

What a wonderful human being Weis seems to be. Can he open his mouth without making and excuse or pointing at someone else for blame?

Carroll strikes again! Is there anything that man can't do. What grad student would sleep with Charlie Cheeseburger?

Former Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis has apologized and insists that heated comments he made about USC coach Pete Carroll were taken out of context and he meant no offense.

Weis, speaking to the Los Angeles Times on Sunday, said he was speaking to several reporters on a "totally subjective" basis as an aside to a formal interview and that the comments were meant to reference Internet rumors in general and how they impact coaches' lives and their families.

"In no way was I trying to take a shot at Pete," Weis said in a phone message to the Los Angeles Times. "What we were talking about was how the rumor mill can affect people's lives.

"When I was asked a specific question like that, I responded like, 'This is the same crap that I'm talking about.' You start saying things like this and one thing, this guy does this and I do that, and all of a sudden the Internet takes it all over the place.

"So, in no way was I trying to take a shot at Pete. I feel if I offended Pete, I will run Pete down and apologize. In no way do I have any idea what's going on in anyone's life other than the fact that rumors on the Internet can affect coaches' lives in a very, very negative fashion."

Prister declined to comment to the Times.

that is hilarious, is carroll married?

Anyway, the Weis remarks noted above have now (Sunday evening) been purged from the version of the interview linked in the source above. I now wonder if this paragraph was in the version you [Irish] consulted and linked in your post when you first read it? Tim Prister is listed as the editor in both versions [now reconciled]. I wonder if Weis' comment on Carrol was supposed to be off the record, or if it is being edited out after the fact?

All that schematic advantage and he can't figure out how to shack up with a grad student on the side?

Well, while I am personally glad this gossip ended up getting to me, I have now lost any remaining sympathy I had for Weiss. Either he is just a dick, or he is a moron for saying something like that to a bunch of gossipy blogger-types and expecting it to stay under wraps.

not enough points to start my own thread yet...figured this was the best place to post it...

RUMOR on rivals board that Randy EDSALL will be named NOTRE DAME's next head coach.

This couldn't work out much better for us. #1) He's not a good enough coach to make them a superpower. #2) We play a coachless team week one.

I've read the espn.com story with Weis's "apology", in which he says his remarks were taken out of context, but CW does not say the statement about Carroll was hypothetical, was CW just repeating an internet rumor I appear to have missed?

Hypothetical or not, Weis made a mistake. You don't have to come on here and try to defend it. Even if it was taken out of context or blown out of proportion, it's not something he should have said. And trust us when we say that we, as Michigan fans, know what it looks like when something gets blown out of proportion.
