Charlie Weiss: NDs new coach.

[redrock-skins]

As an ND fan, I like the hire. The past two weeks have been a disaster for ND. ND needs a ND guy and someone who knows a thing or two about offense and they found it in Weis.

anyone think he'll stay with the pats until they finish in the playoffs and/or superbowl?

It is kind of puzzling that he'd take a college gig when he was gonna be one of the top choices for several pro teams this year, but I guess bailing out your alma mater from this PR debacle meant more to him. plus he's already got 2 SB rings and possibly a 3rd on the way.

Cush:

Saban at LSU purportedly makes $2.5M per year. And lots of college coaches get "perks" that are not part of the contract package from the university; players are the only beneficiaries of boosters' "generosity".

I am also an Irish fan, and have been disappointed in our record the last few years, unfortunately, unless ND lowers it's strict requirements especially academic standards ND will be in the same boat no matter who is the coach....IMHO
