Even as an admitted ND-apologist, I found Pete Fiutak's take on Weis' retention to be a bit much-- but I also enjoyed it because I spent most of the time picturing Jason Whitlock reading it.
Charlie Weis just isn't all that bad a head coach.
[The only thing that would have made this thesis statement better would have been if Fiutak somehow managed to zing Ball State as well.]
Don't let anyone try to tell you that a coach can't win big at Notre Dame anymore. It's the opposite. It's hard for a coach not to win at Notre Dame.
[Did I forget to mention that this article was written in 1966?]
Weis has built the program to this point, and while the performance against USC might have been a nightmare, the season is a few plays away from not being all that bad.
[The "but if X hadn't happened..." argument is always a winner.]
Veteran teams win the close games like the 29-21 loss at North Carolina, and next year, Notre Dame will be a veteran team.
[Oh, "experience."]
