EVERYBODY RELAX. CHARLIE'S ON THIS THING.

The reliably excellent Blue-Gray Sky has put together an exhaustive/exhausting list of Notre Dame's offseason coaching Boggle scramble.

ndboggle

By their count, the Irish have lost three coaches, gained five, and shuffled the positions of another five. And brace yourselves---Pear Bryant has crowned himself OC for the coming season.

"I thought the best chance for us to win this year would be to make me the offensive coordinator," Weis said. "What that's done, though, is it's caused a trickle-down effect in configuration of our staff."

The promotions also make it possible for Weis to coach from the press box while Brown runs the sidelines if they decide to explore that option.

Fan of college football in general, rejoice. This is a gift rife with potential. After all, everything went so very swimmingly for the Irish last year when Weis decided to take more of an active hand in playcalling. ("But Hawaii---" No. No crowing over waxing a team that managed a 7-7 finish with a WAC schedule.) And fear not---if it doesn't work out, he can always blame his wife.

Running Game Coordinator? Another way for Charlie BigMacWhopper to pass the buck next year.

New boy in the neighborhood
Lives downstairs and it is understood.
Hes there just to take good care of me,
Like hes one of the family.

Charles in Charge
Of our days and our nights
Charles in Charge
Of our wrongs and our rights

And I sing, I want,
I want Charge in Charge of me.

You know what I love best about Weis? His humility.

Well, Jimmy Clausen can only win 2 national championships at ND now before he runs out of eligibility, so I’m glad steps have been taken.

I don’t know whether it’s arrogance so much as covering for the fact that there were probably no good options out there willing to come into a potential one-and-done situation. In any case, no excuse will save him from poor perfromance against next year’s schedule.

Oh, and I’ll take waxing a team that managed a 7-7 finish with a WAC schedule over losing to a team that managed to finish 4-7 with a Mountain West schedule anyday.

@9. MWC > WAC.

BUT, if you thought losing to Wyo. was hilarious wait til you see the encore!

Perhaps Hello Kiffin should have hired Wyoming’s Recruiting Coordinator along with the ten others he did hire.

When things go wrong, fans like to see coaching changes, but the reality is that Notre Dame players need to grow up too. Players need to take responsibility as well as the coaches.
