Next Coach as well as some rumors - Page 3 - Notre Dame Football Discussion

Well if ND passes on him for that reason, then I'll stop being a ND fan. The average ND fan is from real america, we wear sweat shirts, and drink beer. We are normal hard working american's, and if they say weis isn't good enough for them that would be a slap in my face.

One question:
Since Weis is under contract until February, would ND be able to sign him and also have him work to get recruits (all the while coordinating NE offensive schemes)? If he is even in the running as a candidate, shouldn't we go after him now and make him an offer he can't refuse?

I still think NFL is the way to go. Signing 6th, 7th, and 8th choice college choices is undoubtedly going to be seen as a disappointment. I think we need someone relatively big to salvage the class of 2009. Weis works with me, but I can't believe Fassel backed down.

One more thing:
I don't think you can question Weis' coaching ability. After all, David Givens seemed like just an ordinary, run of the mill, college receiver when he was at ND, and now he is one of the Patriots top receivers doing Sirius commercials with John Madden. The guy obviously knows how to turn players into talented superstars. That's just my opinion.

I don't think you have to worry about ND turning Wies down because he isn't pretty...look at Rockne. He wasn't exactly a suit and tie guy either!

Well right now it looks like it is narrowing down to a couple of candidates -

1. Dan Hawkins (Has said he would take the ND job - but has an extension offer from Boise State for 2.6 million that ND wont match i think)
2. Charles Wies (Most Likely)
3. Butch Davis (Unlikely he wants to take a year off)

Just interesting seeing what we all thought then...

I thought I was in a time warp, reading these old posts.
