Well, I was exaggerating for hyperbole's sake in the first post. Clearly - and I can't remember if it was Whitlock or Mandel who brought this up or someone else along the line - it's Weis' fault that those juniors and seniors weren't developed the last two seasons when they were blowing teams out. I saw somewhere that the QBs on the roster had just like two attempts between them all entering this year. They needed Quinn in the fourth quarter against Army and Air Force and Stanford last year? That's definitely on Weis. And to still be sucking this bad this late in the year is on him, too.

So I'll say that I don't blame him (Willingham). But I don't think this redeems him, either.

So what do you think would have been an acceptable record for Notre Dame this season?

To a reasonable person or to ND fans? Knowing they didn't have much talent back, I would still think at least a .500 record. Not sure ND fans would go for even that.

That's what I think, too. Maybe 7-5 because their schedule - surprise, surprise - didn't end up being as tough as it initially looked.

There's a tremendous feature piece to be written about all this, if only you could get inside the program to write it.

Charlie pounds Pitt, pounds Purdue and nearly upsets USC to open 2005 and these loons proclaim "we're back!" Charlie's opportunistic agent says "better sign him long-term now or he might flea."

Good article. What's that Southern sayin' about what makes a good coach? He can take his and beat yours, or take yours and beat his. Or something like that.

From the great O.A. Phillips

Thought that was first said about Bobby Dodd in the 1950s. Who, even though dead as Francisco Franco, could outcoach Charlie Weis right now.

Big victory over Duke today, though!
