We're going to go 6-6.

Yup.

Its the end of an era. Charlie did a lot of good. All he could, I think. Thanks for everything Chuck. :(

And once again, we start over, hoping for something good to come from bad. It gets old, but we have to hope. No matter what anyone says, we've weathered our rough spot, and its time for us to get some sunshine for a change.

Next year will be better. Is has to be.

i don't blame him for this lost, it's the defense that can't stop their running attack.

A collection of odds and ends from after the UConn debacle.

Jesus Christ! some people are so blind.

blind to what? i'm just saying i don't blame him for this one game... there are plenty of bad calls to blame him in the past, and the writing is on the wall now. despite how well he recruits, and what a great guy he is.... that only goes so far.

i don't like anyone getting fired, and i know next year, our record will probably be even worse with a new coach, but we always have to move forward and hope for the best.

When the economy is going down the toilet, who do we blame? The greedy banks? The idiot consumers? No, we blame the President. Same goes for a head coach. If you are steering the ship, you are responsible for all the comes with it. Please do us all a favor and just quit. PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just waiting for the majority to get to the acceptance stage. Any "one more year" people out there?

It was a miracle year. The hand of God moved that last second field goal, two yellow flags to wipe out touchdowns. But how many miracles are needed? Ten a game?

I wish Tate luck in the NFL. Jimmy, take a good look at BQ's NFL career. Don't spend the signing bonus...that's your retirement.

It was nice to see the players support for Charlie, but that had to be it. We just lost to Navy, Pitt, and Uconn, 2 at home!

If you TRULY LOVED Notre Dame you would Resign now.Charlie do a buyout and go out with some PRIDE so we can start looking now.

Edsell just said they didn't make any adjustments on defense at halftime. They had them figured out on film. WTF. Offensive Genius?

Jack Swarbrick and University President Jenkins are going to get curbstomped if Weis is retained.

Although I've been a long time Cw supporter(because it's the best for our program right now) He did not drop the passes and certainly can coach a player on how to propperly wrap up and tackle a player, I'm torn. Do we need a new start? The players believe in him they just don't seem to grasp the fundementals. WRAP AND TACKLE. Is there a better answer or will we settle again? We have class players coming in...can we teach them to be contenders?

Post Game Observations....

Post Game Observations....

1. F*** me, this sucks.

2. That Robbie Parris kid? All he does is catch first downs.

3. It looked to me like UConn won this on conditioning. It sure seemed like they had more gas left in the tank than ND did, in the second half.

4. Penalties were, again, a killer. They kept putting ND in bad down and distance situations, over and over again.

5. Armando Allen had a great game, but I wonder about his ability to carry the load. He looked gassed, late in the game.

6. Charlie is almost certainly gone. And how ironic........Clausen said that Weis would not get fired because of him. Clausen just did not look like Clausen, tonight. His numbers certainly were not bad, but he just looked like he was pressing too hard. His timing was off on quite a few throws.

7. Red Zone offense was a problem.........again. I wonder if giving Tate some looks at tailback, in the red zone, would help? You could still utilize him as a WR, by lining him up at tailback and running wheel routes with him. That might even create some very favorable matchups. If you're a D Coordinator, are you going to try to cover him with a linebacker?

8. For those who were saying that Clausen could not make the throw that Dayne Crist made, to John Goodman in the Washington State game? Did you see the throw he made to Floyd, on the play that Floyd fumbled?

Not in a million years. Last year, we were still building towards something. Now, we need to start over. Don't waste anyone's time.

I'm just really, really dejected.

Not pointing fingers, don't really care. Just know that something has to change & praying to God that the people in the position to make the changes that need to be made make the right ones & do it soon.

Really? Really? Are we still having this conversation? Take any guy off the street and a good enough teacher can teach him anything, excepting very advanced concepts like medicine etc. A good teacher can teach anyone to tackle. Come on. It's not just one guy missing tackles or blocks. It's a friggin' epidemic.

No more gurus. No more geniuses. Just bring in someone who can teach fundamental football, motivate, and someone who has executive ability to run an entire program. Please. It's not rocket science.

and breakdown, and pursue laterally, and cover hook zones, and flats, and keep your head up and know where the ball is, and be in shape in order to be strong enough in the 4th quarter, and take better angles...
