AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH /dies RT @KUAthletics: KU to introduce Charlie Weis as football coach at press conference Friday afternoon.
December 8th, 2011 at 5:48 PM ^
and he couldn't be happier with this hire!
December 8th, 2011 at 7:26 PM ^
Find the fat joke...
December 8th, 2011 at 9:40 PM ^
It would be even funnier if he was fat ass too. Unfotunately, he's a gym rat who's built like he should work for Vince McMahon.
December 8th, 2011 at 5:32 PM ^
How's that chant go? Rock, gold bond medicated powder, Jayhawk?
December 8th, 2011 at 5:32 PM ^
is transferring! Schematic Advantage KU!
Srsly, what the hell?
December 8th, 2011 at 5:38 PM ^
an over/under on Mangino/Weis jokes. Now, I'm just going to take the over...no matter what it is. Carry on.
December 8th, 2011 at 6:10 PM ^
Overweight coaches.
December 8th, 2011 at 9:13 PM ^
Funny, Weiss' scale always takes the over too.
December 8th, 2011 at 5:39 PM ^
Well, to be fair, going 6-6 and beating Vanderbilt would be considered a great accomplishment for Kansas.
Turner Gill must be sitting there saying to himself, 'they fired me for... *him*'?
December 8th, 2011 at 5:58 PM ^
Lets be honest, Tuner Gill is half the coach Weis is, maybe less.
December 8th, 2011 at 7:20 PM ^
Subtly clever.
December 8th, 2011 at 7:01 PM ^
Watch charlie implode while blame everyone else if he fails.
December 8th, 2011 at 5:44 PM ^
If he couldn't win with 5 stars and ND's 9ish gimme's a year how the hell do they expect him to win at KU.
The new AD should be fired immediately.
December 8th, 2011 at 5:50 PM ^
Kansas is really looking forward to having a decisive tactical advantage.
December 8th, 2011 at 5:54 PM ^
may have been better off taking a coaching job at a Bolivian University.
December 8th, 2011 at 5:59 PM ^
I'm going to be contrarian. Dude has Rings and NFL contacts. He'll be able to recruit because he can legitamely tell kids "I know what it takes you get you to the next level and I can help you get there."
I think he achieves middling success at KU. Yes he never beats the cream of the B12, but he'll do well enough, get them a decent bowl, and give them some alums in the NFL to brag out. Assuming the fans don't get greedy he'll bring them success.
December 8th, 2011 at 6:06 PM ^
Two things you're missing:
1. Weis had more talent at ND than any team he played outside of USC, and he turned in a number of lousy years despite it. Those people chose ND for ND, not Charlie Weis. His talent level will be far lower in Lawrence and his schedule will be comparable. I'd be surprised if he beats 7 wins more than once.
2. He, like Mangino, is a fat person. Very fat person. This is integral to the thread, yet you neglected to mention it.
December 8th, 2011 at 6:49 PM ^
To his credit, he did use cream in his response.
Reminding us that Charlie Weis drinks gallons of cream every day to work around the constraints of his lap band.
December 8th, 2011 at 7:36 PM ^
Weis and KU really deserve each other. KU got too big for their britches when they fired Mangino, and Weis is too big for almost any pair of britches in any department store.
Britches, bitches.
December 8th, 2011 at 8:15 PM ^
Britches, bitches.
+1000.
December 8th, 2011 at 6:08 PM ^
How many college teams does Charlie have to drive into the ground before people stop hiring him?
December 8th, 2011 at 6:45 PM ^
the answer to your question is, apparently: "At least three".
December 8th, 2011 at 6:11 PM ^
I decided to peruse this thread to make a fat joke. All of you guys were on top of that, and more apparently. So I guess I'll just call him FatWeiss and leave it at that.
December 8th, 2011 at 6:27 PM ^
Kind of a slap in the face to Muschamp, "Thanks for the job, I'm out!"
December 8th, 2011 at 6:28 PM ^
Yeah, Muschamp might not be all that bummed though.
December 8th, 2011 at 6:35 PM ^
"Don't let the door hit you in the front butt on the way to KU"
December 8th, 2011 at 6:40 PM ^
Apparently, the KU AD thought the hire would "put Kansas Football on the map."
Well, it makes KU visible from space, but I don't think that's exactly what he was gunning for...
December 8th, 2011 at 6:48 PM ^
Laugh all you want, but this means more FL kids goin to Ohio. Muschamp is totally gonna bounce back to Texas once Mack Brown realizes he's not a good coach anymore. Muschamp is one of those great coordinator-bad head coach types, IMO.
December 8th, 2011 at 6:47 PM ^
hired him is that they stuill have some of Mangino's clothes left...
December 8th, 2011 at 6:49 PM ^
I was looking forward to seeing Charlie in the box during the Gator Bowl.
Without his decide schematic advantage to discuss, we'll only hear about the matchup of Urban Meyer's old team against his new team.
/s
December 8th, 2011 at 6:50 PM ^
I hadnt heard any rumors about this. Maybe we should have checked barges on the Mississippi instead of FlightTracker
December 8th, 2011 at 8:25 PM ^
We should have been on the look out for his party barge in the Great Dune Sea on Tatooine
December 8th, 2011 at 6:59 PM ^
It must be the intoxicating aroma of bacon around Charlie Weis that causes people to keep hiring him.
Mmmmm, bacon. /Homer
December 8th, 2011 at 7:01 PM ^
Do we have any openings on our schedule in the next three years? I'd love to beat Weis again, plus wins against BCS programs always look nice, and we'll have to schedule them fast before Weis gets fired.
December 8th, 2011 at 7:06 PM ^
on those BIG 12 eateries...
December 8th, 2011 at 7:06 PM ^
Hahahaha, you know it's an epic thread when there are 64 comments and 13 of them are already +5'd!
December 8th, 2011 at 7:11 PM ^
is a match made in heaven. Mediocrity, meet your new master of ceremonies!
December 8th, 2011 at 8:14 PM ^
"Henne...Manningham...Henne...HENNE!!"
December 8th, 2011 at 7:26 PM ^
A scheme guy. You need to be a teacher in college...if you want to succeed that is.
December 8th, 2011 at 7:59 PM ^
Come on, we all know he will succeed because of his decided schematic advantage.
December 8th, 2011 at 7:34 PM ^
I guess if Weis doesn't work out*, they can always just hire Ralph Friedgen to replace him.
*I know, he clearly doesn't work out, but that's not what I meant
December 8th, 2011 at 7:36 PM ^
So they just needed another fat guy? There must be a restaurant chain that had a say in this.
December 8th, 2011 at 7:40 PM ^
Somewhere in the country there are a batch of relatively unknown young coordinators or coaches in non-BCS conferences currently waiting for their first chance at a BCS level program. These coaches will go on to fame and great success at whichever school is smart enough to hire them.
Kansas, it appears, is not one of those schools.
42 years ago, Michigan was.
December 8th, 2011 at 9:09 PM ^
Kansas tried that route with Turner Gill, but he apparently lacks the presence of his predecessor or his replacement.
December 8th, 2011 at 7:50 PM ^
...Hide the mascot.
