Why is Charlie Weis continue to be tolerated. I can understand why the faceless Irish- blinded by touchdown Jesus bow at his feet, but the alumni are another story. Ty Willingham was fired because he was losing by too many points. Weis makes Ty look like the most successful coach in Notre Dame history.
Lets look at all Weis has been able to accomplish in only 8 games this year. Saturday's home loss to USC was the most lopsided loss of this rivalry in its 79 year history. Yesterday's loss was also the second worst in N.D. history. The Irish are 1-7 for the second time in their ancient football history. Amazingly, they have already been eliminated from the 100 or so Bowl contention. These have not been easy feats for Weis to accomplish
They clearly have the recruiting class, the talent and the size to compete with most teams. What they clearly don't have is any coaching ability. The Board of Trustee's have completely failed the faithful. How long will the alumni continue to pour the dollars into an incompetent program. Football put Notre Dame on the map in this country.
Worst of all the Irish seemed to have given up on their coach in the second half. They gained zero yards in the 3rd quarter. Weis continued the charade after the game with his defiance, "People better enjoy it now," he said, "have their fun now." They need to win at least 3 or their last 4 against their patsy end of year schedule. Failing to do so must make the alumni tell Weis to go have his fun some where else.

Notre Dame will stage one of their fabled comebacks and be ranked #1 by the end of the Bowls- just you watch!!
Next year will be big for Charlie. It will be his 4th year, and his recruits will now be all grown up. If he doesn't perform then, serious questions will have to be asked. I think he is still getting a free ride right now.
It's true:he'sgetting a freeride so far. Why??
