Soooo....Weis?
by up7587 on Mon Sep 14, 2009 10:50 pm
What happened? I heard Lou Holtz say the Irish were going to be undefeated! I assume in South Bend they've already figured how they'll still play in the BCS title game.
Complaining about the refs is kinda undignified for the guy sitting in the same seat as Leahy and Parseghian, isn't it?

You guys are brutal!
It seems like most people around here were.....really ticked off....about the loss to Michigan. Wies is in a hot seat, for sure.
Myself, I'm not as worried about it. It was the second game of the season, and ND was never going to go undefeated. I personally thought this year was a 9-3 year, with a loss to USC and two others. I didn't know who it would be, but I sure didn't think it would be Michigan. I still think they are good enough and have an easy enough schedule to make it to 9-3, though there is much less breathing room now.
In my opinion, everyone gets themselves into waaay too much of a tizzy over an early season loss. Give the team and the coaches an opportunity to fix things up a bit before you get all crazy on them.

If his name was Ty Willingham, he'd be gone by now.

Location: Lowry the tailor lived there when boys were boys. In his day he was fond of the gun. He always carried his powder loose in the tail pocket of his coat. He usually had in his mouth a short dudeen; but in an evil moment he put the dudeen, lighted, in the pocket among the powder. Mr. Lowry was an eccentric man.

I'm sick of all the excuses people make for Weis. How many years did we have to hear that Willingham left the cupboard bare? Now he has his own players, and an easy schedule. They need to win some games this year.
He has 6 years left on his $30-40M deal. I doubt even Notre Dame can afford to buy him out after this year if they don't win some games.

From wikipedia:
"Willingham began the 2002 season by going 8–0, and went on to become the only first-year coach in Notre Dame history to win 10 games."
It was a good first season for him (slightly better than Weiss's first season, 9-2)

I agree - he's got the rest of the season to win games, so there's no need for me (or anyone else in my opinion) to get my panties in a bunch after two games.

A lot of ND fans aren't. It's pathetic.

But there is a need for you to skip the third game so that you can attend the Great Lakes Beer festival. Seriously, Michigan-Central Michigan would be a better game than Notre Dame-Michigan St...would you skip a brew festival for that game??? I think not. Shame on you Rochin54.
