Well, this is worse than any season Ty had, and he got fired in his third season for going 6-6 and beating Michigan and Tennessee! Why isn there talk of firing Charlie Weis from Notre Dame fans?
After his first two season, Weis had an aura of invincibility around him due to the BCS bowl berths and stellar recruiting that is now most definitely gone. People are wondering why the offense is so awful if he’s some kind of genius. I go along with the theory that the indecision at quarterback led to split time between the spread and a normal Weis offense, meaning our players never really got acquainted with what they were supposed to be doing. There’s also the chance that Weis simply doesn’t know how to develop players. It’s still far too early to tell that, but again, it remains a possibility. As far as our good friend Tyrone Willingham, don’t forget that the 2004 season was his second straight sub-par showing after missing a bowl game in 2003 and ending 2002 on a rather disappointing note down the stretch.
