The University of Notre Dame responded to back-to-back 6-6 records by firing it’s football coach, Charlie Weis. They will now go out and try to hire a new coach, but what coach would really want to go to Notre Dame to coach football? I think the days of it being a serious football program are long gone. Unlike every other major football program, Notre Dame is not in a conference. This is what allows them to play Navy or UConn. Teams in a conference have to play teams in their conference.

Any coach that leaves a major football program to go to Notre Dame is living in the past.

Even though Charlie Weis was fired, the university still has to pay him his salary. He has six years remaining on his contract. This makes him the winner in all this. Getting paid to do nothing is the true American dream.

Charlie Weis is my hero.
