**teaserpleaser** · 09-28-14, 09:54 AM

If they gave him 2 more recruiting classes... I just checked he was getting talent b level kids is pretty good for Kansas right 3 and a few 4 stars?

**teaserpleaser** · 09-28-14, 09:59 AM

Oh look at their schedule it was going to get ugly no matter if they played over their heads...not sure what the AD wanted even a down Texas team should beat kansas year after year

**I/O** · 09-29-14, 05:56 AM

Couldn't of happened to a more deserving prick

**Renegades** · 09-29-14, 06:53 AM

Weis is terrible! Cant believe this didnt happen sooner. He's supposed to be an offensive guru?? Ya right

**Sam Odom** · 09-29-14, 07:01 AM

Fat guy started believing his own PR 10-12 years ago...

**jjgold** · 09-29-14, 07:05 AM

He will never get a job again

All the money he stole

**Sam Odom** · 09-29-14, 07:08 AM

Heard he will start a Northeast chain of all-u-can-eat Buffet Restaurants called , Big Charlies

**Big Bear** · 09-29-14, 09:01 AM

classless move to fire him mid season.

when will college teams learn they are not pro teams.

College Football is about more than just winning those kids are there to get an education and the coach serves as a mentor for these young men.

**Big Bear** · 09-29-14, 09:03 AM

there is more to life than just winning. Have some class Kansas.

its just a football game.

**JAKEPEAVY21** · 09-29-14, 09:05 AM

guy was not improving the program...no better time than now to get that fat disgusting bastard of the sidelines

**Sam Odom** · 09-29-14, 09:06 AM

stop being so PC... next you'll want them to NOT keep score

i just feel like the move could have waited until summer.

atleast give him a warning and a chance to rally the troops and finish strong.

**jjgold** · 09-29-14, 10:34 AM

It was the right move Weiss is going to be blackballed in football

**daneblazer** · 09-29-14, 10:38 AM

Gilbert Browb, Mark Mangino, Romeo Cromwell, Andy Reid, Charlie Weis... I sense a trend in Kansas

**Mr KLC** · 12-31-15, 04:02 PM

Today is the last day Charlie Weis gets a check from Notre Dame. The Irish fired him six years ago and paid him roughly $19M to not be their coach anymore.

**Seattle Slew** · 12-31-15, 04:04 PM

Still has checks coming from Kansas, I think.

**daneblazer** · 12-31-15, 04:05 PM

Maybe even Florida

You're correct....the biggest disgrace of a college coach...set the Kansas program back probably 4-5 years

**Mr KLC** · 12-31-15, 04:13 PM

**Dirty Sanchez** · 12-31-15, 04:15 PM

Charlie Weis is making $5.625 million through December 2016 from Kansas

**Mr KLC** · 12-31-15, 04:21 PM

He's going to have to downgrade his way of living now. He survived on the Notre Dame money. Kansas was his buffet funds.

**jjgold** · 12-31-15, 04:22 PM

Good offensive guy

**Ra77er** · 12-31-15, 04:24 PM

That USC game was amazing. They weren't supposed to even make that a game and they did....blinded many.

**Vegas39** · 12-31-15, 05:14 PM

Along same lines. Aren't Mets paying Bobby Bonilla until 2086

Roughly 1.2 mill through 2035. Just because they wanted to buy out of his final year of 5.9 mill. I would love to meet the retards behind this one.

**BigJay** · 12-31-15, 08:29 PM

Mets thought they were getting the best deal in the long run because of the incredible yearly returns they were getting with their investments in Bernie Madoff's hedge fund.

Anytime you hear Charlie Weis talking, check the self-serving meter. It’s probably bumping on max.

The former Notre Dame head coach recently offered excuses on winning at Notre Dame. The school’s tough academics standards rule out too many talented players, he claimed as a guest on “The Herd with Colin Cowherd.”

Anytime you hear Charlie Weis talking, check the self-serving meter. It’s probably bumping on max.

The former Notre Dame head coach recently offered excuses on winning at Notre Dame. The school’s tough academics standards rule out too many talented players, he claimed as a guest on “The Herd with Colin Cowherd.”

Maybe with you as the coach, Charlie, but let’s look at your time at Notre Dame — including the overlapping talent you inherited from Tyrone Willingham and passed on to Brian Kelly.

You recruited enough talent for Notre Dame to go 12-0 in the 2012 regular season. The Irish earned a Bowl Championship Series national championship game bid against eventual champion Alabama. Six 2012 Irish players were taken in the 2013 NFL draft. Notre Dame football is routinely among the Top 10 schools in graduation rates, and 2012 was no exception at No. 9.

The difference, though, was you were gone by 2012. Kelly coached your recruits on a roster led by redshirt seniors, seniors and juniors.

At first, Weis won at Notre Dame, but he was coaching players he inherited from Willingham. Weis’ first two teams went 9-3 and 10-3. But, according to Weis’ theory, the Irish were suddenly too smart; his last three teams went 3-9, 7-6 and 6-6.

Weis was canned after his 6-6 season in 2009. That roster featured four NFL draft picks.

These days, Weis is probably feeling confident in his theory now that Kelly is trying to bounce back from a 4-8 season.

“You need to know when you go in there it’s a different program,” Weis told Cowherd. “It’s different. Grades and going to school and getting your degree are going to matter. High character is going to matter. Football is going to matter.

“I always used to say in recruiting there are three things involved: one, character; two, academics; and three, can you play? If you’re missing any of those ingredients, you can’t play there.”

Then he added this gibberish:

“If you’re high character and get good grades and can’t play, then you can’t play; if you can play and have high character but can’t read or write, you can’t play; if you can read and write and play but you’re in trouble all the time, you can’t play.”

Geez, with such obstacles, how did Weis manage to field an 85-man scholarship roster?

Certainly, Notre Dame has higher academic requirements than most Power 5 schools, but most schools don’t pull in as many 5-star and 4-star recruits as the Irish. There aren’t too many Saturdays the Irish line up with inferior talent.

Notre Dame routinely deflates the hopes of just about any school chasing 5-star and 4-star recruits once the Irish enter the picture. According to Rivals.com team rankings, the Irish’s 2017 class was ranked No. 13 with eight 4-stars; 2016, No. 13 with 12 4-stars; 2015, No. 11 with 13 4-stars; and 2014, No. 11 with 10 4-stars.

That’s not as many as Alabama or Ohio State, but it’s enough to compete for a national title.

Clemson won the 2016 national title with a senior class that arrived as freshman in 2013 ranked No. 14 in the nation with 10 4-stars and a junior class that embarked in 2014 ranked No. 13 with seven 4-stars (including quarterback Deshaun Watson).

Weis had similar ranked talent on his roster, but it’s what the coach does with that talent that matters.

A more impending hurdle to a national title is Notre Dame’s conference independent status. Clemson lost a regular-season game to an unranked team, but winning the ACC Atlantic Division and ACC Conference championship game earned the Tigers a College Football Playoff berth.
