damien Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 Quote Saying its expectations on the field have not been met, Notre Dame fired coach Charlie Weis on Monday after five seasons. A brash offensive coordinator with the NFL champion New England Patriots when he was hired five years ago, Weis excited the Irish faithful with back-to-back appearances in BCS bowl games in his first two seasons. Since then, one of the nation's most storied football programs has gone 16-21. "We have great expectations for our football program, and we have not been able to meet those expectations," Notre Dame athletics director Jack Swarbrick said in a statement announcing Weis "will not be retained."

True. It's just that Quinn hasn't been exactly great in the NFL either, so that's why I thought it was kinda humorous. The announcers were going on about it during the CLE @ CIN game.

Mamba Man 420 Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 Bob Stoops FTW!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xx. Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 Yeah ND is going hard after Bob Stooops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 Warren, no way Meyer leaves UF unless its for the NFL or Ohio St. IMO. I think it's going to be Stoops or Butch Davis with Stoops in the lead. Either way, no coach will ever win a Notre Dame. Recruiting there is way too hard especially with their academic standards. ND won't be relevant until they revamp almost everything in the program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm almost 100% sure that he's staying in Florida even though he said a while back that he'd like to coach at Notre Dame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damien Posted December 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 I think it's gonna be Butch Davis. Despite the seculation with Stoops, I just can't see him leaving OU yet, and Davis could use a big name program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
