I think the video (combined with what we already know) perhaps indicates a number of things, which may be pertinent in light of all the hullaballoo about Weis being a bully, etc.

(I know, most of this is conjecture, but I think its interesting)
1) This guy is really smart. I mean, the kind of smart that undertands everything in the classroom before just about everybody else. The kind of smart that Joe Montana would appeal to the night before a tough exam.
2) This guy knows that he's smart.
3) Probably in part because of the above, this guy, at times, seems to talk down to others. After all, he's smarter than most others, so how does he know when it is that he has to explain things more fully or not?
3) Yep, he's confident, brash, may we say a little cocky/arrogant? Probably in large part because he's so smart and successful.
4) At the same time that he has the above traits, he also is a bit down-to-earth in the way he talks to people. He's not highly-falutent. I think that's part of the reason his press transcripts read very choppy-like at times, with repetitions etc. Of course, that is the case with most people, but it seems more for Weis than a lot of others in similar positions.
5) This guy does have a sense of humor at times. (Like the idea that the reporters do their homework?:clown: )....
6)...at the same time, he's still mainly no-nonsense. But he can laugh about some of those things outside of his control that he sees as silly (like some of the recruiting regulations).

If you've watched most of the post-practice pressers, you'd see that Weis is a very cordial coach. What some media outfits have put out about Weis is straight bullshit.

That's right on the money. I don't get it/see this whole "Charlie is a meanie" thing. What the hell am I missing? Are these scribes all girl-school sorority chicks?

It's that time of the mon, err, I mean year. There is very little going on in college football. Teams are beginning practice, but many coaches close practice prior to their first game. The recruiting period is at a lull and there just isn't much to report. If you read most of the pieces being printed recently across the country, 90% is fluff, feel good... crap.

Throw enough shit at a wall and hope something sticks. Plus, we're Notre Dame. Man, if this is what it's going to be like when "we're not back" and "we're not relevant," how is it gonna be when we're kicking ass and taking names?

Seems like some of these hacks might be making bad career decisions betting on (hoping?) ND and Charlie to fail. Cause it ain't gonna happen.The team, the coaches and the university will all succeed and these hacks will forever be stuck at the Des Moines Register or the Peoria Pithel.
