There are few things I take more pleasure in than watching Notre Dame fail. As a Michigan fan I don’t particularly have any love for the Irish to begin with. The general hatred has elevated to a whole new level in the Charlie Weis regime, though. I think it was a bad joke that they got rid of Ty Willingham when and how they did, a bad joke that when they gave Weis, a guy with no head coaching experience, the reins, a really bad joke when they gave him a massive extension before he did anything to earn it, and a really, really bad joke when they kept him around for another year. With a nod to Marvin Lewis, Weis is the worst head coach in football. That makes the latest news from South Bend particularly ridiculous.<\/p>\n
Weis took over offensive play calling last year, and then not surprisingly lost his offensive coordinator, Mike Haywood, to Miami of Ohio. Weis needed a new coordinator, and he needs to get it right this time because this is probably his last chance. So Weis did pretty much the stupidest thing possible – he gave the job to himself. Weis couldn’t possibly manage the job of head coaching, but now he’ll have to do that and the OC job as well. That’s a bad, bad idea.<\/p>\n
To compound the stupidity, Weis has named co-defensive coordinators. That muddies the water, makes it harder for a single vision to be asserted, and probably limits the team’s chances of defensive success. That’s okay, because Weis’ new job limits the chances of offensive success.<\/p>\n
As soon as Weis announced that he was taking both jobs, the administration should have kicked his egotistical, deluded butt out of town. The only way that this move was a good idea was if he had made himself OC and resigned the head coaching job. A demotion is the least of what he deserves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
