OT: Anyone watching the ND game...

Would Charlie get fired if they fall to 0 and 5. He position has to be in limbo.

Re: OT: Anyone watching the ND game..

Right now I don't think that the Trustees of the University would go along with a firing. There are many years and a large amount of money remaining on his contract.

Re: OT: Anyone watching the ND game..

wow ND is just terrbile...if you cant stop a 3rd and 29, you have no chance of winning this game.

Re: OT: Anyone watching the ND game..

ND isn't just losing games, they are getting pounded.

Re: OT: Anyone watching the ND game..

This is painful. And it's still the first half.

Re: OT: Anyone watching the ND game..

Wow, ND is just awful. As of this moment they've been outscored 156-27 on the season.

Hey, I didn't know they scored 27 points so far this season...awesome!

Re: OT: Anyone watching the ND game..

Barring a miracle, this sets them to 0-5, and they have UCLA, BC and USC in their next three.

Has ND ever been 0-8? Because they are going to be this year.

They'd never been 0-4 before.

Charlie is OK after this year but next year all but the seniors are his recruits; he'll need to start winning no later than next year.

This is the result of Ty Willingham's terrible recruiting in his final two seasons. The talent on that field is almost nonexistent in the two upper classes. Frankly, it surprises me that nobody points this out, choosing instead to defend Willingham at Weis' expense.

I hope, for Charlie's sake, that his OL and DL recruits are ready to go next season.

. Really? (I'm not watching the game). Why are they 0-4?

Re: OT: Anyone watching the ND game..

Doesn't matter how they finish this year, next year they will be in the preseason ranking.

Re: OT: Anyone watching the ND game..

Well what do you know, ND might actually have a good QB. He better start next week.

Ofcourse i say that and jinx them.

0 and 5 ND. Charlie you got some work ahead of you.

Re: OT: Anyone watching the ND game..

I was at the game, and ND looks terrible.

And they can stay terrible, I enjoy watching Purdue ahead of Notre Dame

This is spot-on. Weiss is an excellent coach, and he succeeded better than Willingham right off the bat using Willingham's players. He's also a good recruiter--his class last year was ranked number one in the country. The problem is, they're still kids, and the existing upperclass is essentially non-existent. For real--they've got no players right now. Hopefully they'll win a game or two this year, and 2-3 years from now they'll be terrific.
