The million dollar question that is on almost everyone’s mind is what does Notre Dame do with Charlie Weis. This season was suppose to be the one where he got things turned around at Notre Dame, but it has not worked out that way. The Fighting Irish have lost some games they could have won, but it did not happen. On offense the Irish are fine, but the defense is another story.
Defensively they miss to many tackles and put the offense in a bad spot most of the time. It seems Notre Dame has to score 30-40 points a game anymore just to win. Weis has to shoulder the blame as he hired the defensive coaches and has input into it. Notre Dame though is stuck between a rock and a hard place. If they do get rid of Charlie Weis they will have to buyout his contract which will cost them some money.
Secondly, who is out there that they could hire that would be a better upgrade than Weis right now. There are not a lot of college coaches that are great looking for jobs. The decision will be tough, but I think that he will be retained and brought back. I guess without a top level replacement the Irish are stuck with him and so are the fans. If Weis is gone Jimmy Clausen may turn pro and leave Notre Dame early so that is something they might want to consider as well.
