Now that’s an interesting development brought to you by yours truly. While there’s no truth to the rumor it makes you sit back and go hmm, at least for a second. Look, we all know Charlie Weis isn’t going anywhere after he signed that contract which virtually gave him ownership of the university, but to say he isn’t on the Budweiser Hot Seat is like saying Andy Reid doesn’t live in a "drug emporium". So Charlie gets a pass for this year, a pass, that’s funny…Perhaps if he would’ve passed on third down instead of running wide on third down, before he passed on attempting a game-winning field goal…Well, nevermind! That’s just the way the season has gone for the Irish!
Here’s the interesting part, we all know the good ole story about Ty Willingham after three years under the dome. Treated the job as a nine-to-fiver, (or excuse me) three…Had to make that tee time! So with that, his recruiting suffered immensely while his golf game flourished. Even so, one thing you could never say about T-Willy, he never had the worst team in the county like Weis does right now, (see the Delaware-Navy game). Sure, besides his 2002 "Return to Glory" team, (please see the green T-shirts), the ole stoic coach didn’t bask in the glory, conversely they wouldn’t get beaten by the local YMCA team and Weis would this season…Which I’ll have you know is a juggernaut in my neck of the woods.
Weis is known for his great X’s and O’s, his multi-packages and formations and etc., but the one that I must question is his teaching abilities to 17, 18, & 19-year olds. Yes, he took Ty’s players and made them into an offensive machine…However, now, with supposedly "better, more talented players" he can’t even beat Navy. Come on, he hand picked these guys! When a team can’t use any shotgun formation for fear of the ball flying over the quarterback’s noodle, that shows me the teaching aspect of football is not getting done, by the way all shotgun formations have gone MIA this year! It’s the entire teaching aspect of college football that is, well, it’s plain to see it’s not getting done in South Bend.
He can scheme and whatever else he chooses to do, but the offensive line hasn’t learned to block, (see the five sacks Navy had), the quarterbacks don’t know when to throw the ball away, and that’s just for starters…The list of things wrong are longer than a fresh roll of Angel Soft that one wipes their ass with. Good to see a roll of toilet paper and Notre Dame football have something in common!
All we hear is, oh, wait for the next two years when Notre Dame has the number one recruiting classes…Oh really, ranked number one by who, Todd McShay? What the hell does he know? He was all over Jimmy Clausen’s dick a year ago…And well, how’d that turn out this year? Yeah, not too well! It doesn’t really matter if Notre Dame brings in the number one recruiting class next season, two, three, four seasons from now or not, because if you can TEACH them, not coach them, (big difference) then all that talent goes for naught! Case and point, we’re currently seeing it, because I thought this years class along with last years was supposed to be pretty good as well! I wonder if Cowher’s a better teacher?
While Weis may not be going anywhere anytime soon considering he owns Touchdown Jesus, for a former high school teacher and coach…One would’ve thought that he known how to do just that, teach! Perhaps if he did Notre Dame wouldn’t have to use a YMCA playbook while setting records of futility in the process in 2007!
