Notre Dame Conveniently Forgets The Terrible Parts Of The Charlie Weis Era
Charlie Weis' detailed year-by-year biography in Fighting Irish media guides somehow fails to mention any season in which a Weis-affiliated team had a losing record. It's not a very long biography. [No Guts, No Glory]

Charlie Weis Will Live to Fail Another Day
Even though his formal meeting with Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbick isn't scheduled until December 8, the leaked reports coming out of South Bend say that head coach Charlie Weis will miraculously return for 2009. Weis, 28-21 in his four years at Notre Dame, ended the 2008 season in predictable fashion last Saturday when USC dutifully thrashed the Irish 38-3. The South Bend Tribune reports that there isn't any formal announcement on tap just yet and that ND associate athletic director John Heisler bitchily blew off the paper when they asked about Weis' future.

Anonymous Anti-Weis Source Hints That Ditching The Ineffective Coach Is Possible
$4.5 million. That's what the Chicago Tribune's Notre Dame source says it would take to get rid of Charlie Weis after four seasons. Even though there's been no indication from ND's athletic director that he'll be booted, it appears some of the influential alumni members are ready to move on. The Tribune says that "a consensus is building among sources with ties to Notre Dame that Weis is in danger of being fired after four seasons." Really. How come?: More »

Some Sweet, Sweet Charlie Weis Love, And Other Unconventional Sports Crushes
Once upon a time, a site called The Black Table had a regular feature entitled Waxing Off, in which women gathered in an online roundtable to discuss issues of the day, and also to make fun of Will Leitch's shoes. And so we got to thinking: With so many great female sports bloggers out there, why not import the idea here? It's just crazy enough to work. So behold: The latest edition of Deadspin's Waxing Off. We found some terrific female writers who were willing to pen short pieces on this week's topic: Unconventional sports crushes. More » -

College Football Roundup: Charlie Weis Is Broken
After a week of piddling interest, college football returned with a vengeance. Before I get rolling with 11 observations on the weekend that was, let me take this opportunity to get this before the jump. Our fearless editor is going to have a full-report from OSU-USC, but let's just say it now, can we start an online petition that threatens pollsters with having their houses burned down if Ohio State somehow manages to finish the regular season without losing again and gets into the BCS Title game for a third consecutive year? 9 of the top 11 teams in this week's AP poll are from either the SEC (five) or the Big 12 (four). Each of these conferences also has a championship game. Handshake agreement between SEC and Big 12 fans to loot, pillage, and lay waste to the country if a team from any other conference gets to play USC for the BCS title? Rapprochement, thy name is BCS.

Charlie Weis Tears Two Ligaments in Knee While Simply Standing Around
Charlie Weis got Theismen'd yesterday during the Notre Dame v. Michigan game. Did the fact that he was standing on the sidelines and not actually on the field make the rotund coach feel any more embarrassed? Heck no! After the game, Weis found out he tore two ligaments in his knee and he seemed rather giddy about it, "MCL and ACL," ... "How do you like that? I feel like an athlete ...... for the first time in my life." Video of the sideline mauling below: More »

Charlie Weis Still Hates Dana Jacobson
Since it's time for the big Michigan-Notre Dame game, the blogosphere has brought back the vodka-swilling Jacobson rant. Now The Big Lead is citiing a source that claims both Trey Wingo and Jacobson have sent personal letters of apology over the event. Evidently Wingo used the word "retarded," and Weis, who has a special needs child, was offended. According to TBL, Weis accepted Wingo's apology and forgave him. Jacobson? Not so much. He still hates her for insulting Touchdown Jesus and Notre Dame. He responded to her letter by ripping her about "professionalism." More »

Charlie Weis Can't Win On The Field, But Wins Off Of It

It's Open Season On Charlie Weis
The Charlie Weis / Notre Dame pile-on continues, gloriously. Some of it is justified, like criticism of how the school has handled the Demetrius Jones situation.

Charlie Weis, Unsuccessful In Obese Litigation
Say what you will about Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis, but you can't say he isn't constantly charging forward. Whether it's recruiting, attacking a Cover 2 or, you know, gastric bypass surgery, the guy makes up his mind and just GOES FOR IT, MAN. Suck Off The Fat Like A Champion. Unfortunately, such single-mindedness doesn't help you in the world of lawsuits. More »

Charlie Weis Hates Internal Bleeding Much More Than He Hates Donuts
In case you've fallen behind on your coverage of failed gastric bypass surgery involving major college football coaches, Notre Dame head whale Charlie Weis is in Day One of his negligence trial in which doctors ignored internal bleeding warning signs. Weis underwent the surgery in 2002 because he was afraid his frightening weight would cause him to not garner top coaching jobs. The surgery didn't work, though it turned out OK for him. A highlight from the trial: More »

Could ND's Savior Be Gone After One Year?
The Mighty MJD brings up something we hadn't thought about: Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis, the "savior" of college football's most "sainted" program, has a very cheap buyout clause in his contract that would allow him to go to an NFL team for just $1.5 million. That team would have to offer him a head coaching job, of course, but at this point, who wouldn't? More »
