Bye Bye Big Tuna; Notre Dame Fires Charlie Weis

After 5 seasons of lowered expectations, Charlie Weis has finally been fired by Notre Dame. Four straight losses to end the season, including one to UCONN,  a come-from-ahead tank job against Stanford, and Jimmy Clausen’s black eye made this a pretty easy decision.

Many people have long forgotten that Charlie Weis was a very successful offensive coordinator in the NFL prior to his miserable failure in South Bend. Don’t assume he won’t get another shot somewhere very soon. Calling plays, not being a head coach.
