Does Weis need to win a title in his first 3 years?

[solo]

Not from a "will he have his job" standpoint, because he has a 10 year contract. But from your expectations and perceptions as a fan, do you think he needs to win one in his first 3 years like every other head ND head coach that won a title.

Absolutely not. The team will be young next year, so all we'll need to see is that there's real potential and we will.

If we don't win this year, it's not as big a deal as it would be if we don't win one while Clausen is here---assuming he pans out. The classes of '06 & '07 are/will be so strong that he's gotten himself into a bind: the talent will be there, all that is needed is a coach who can take them places.

Weis will be around for a while and he'll win at least one national title.

we have to see what happens this year. If we dont win, but still look good, then i think its ok. (unlike ty's 2nd year) If we look horrible this year(unlikely) then it becomes a whole differant topic

This is sort of a crazy question.

This is sort of a crazy question.

Why crazy?

Every ND head coach that has won a title has done so by year 3. Why should Weis be different? Particulalry in todays game where fast turnarounds are the norm. Coker Tressell, Stoops, and Saban are all modern day coaches that won titles immediately. The epxectation in my book is to turn a progeam around in 3 years. The 5 year plan is out the window. As salaries have escalated, so have expectations.

If Weis is the best coach in the nation, he should have us at least in the title game by his third season. That's my expectation.

well you know nd critics will have a field day if wise and nd arent beating people by 300 a game but he doesnt absolutly need to win in 3 so to keep the critics at bay he probably needs to win one in the next 2 years but like i always say how gives a damn what the critics say about us and you know if we win 10 nattys in a row there will still be some one some where saying nd sucks
