Charlie Weiss = Terry Bowden



Hear me out... You can not have followed college football this year without hearing the name of Charlie Weiss. This former Patriots defensive coordinator was bestowed with the hottest seat in college football, that of head coach of the media's immortal beloved, Notre Dame. He has been up for best coach of the year for coaching his team to 6-2 with loses to a 5-4 Michigan State and an overranked, overhyped USC. So, he lost two games.... there are currently 3 other coaches in the league that haven't lost a game, are they just kitty litter? Anyway, Charlie Weiss came into Notre Dame with a full head of wind at his back. Two years before his arrival, a similar situation occured in South Bend with the arrival of coach Tyrone Willingham. He took over from a struggling Bob Davie and brought in his own offense and recruited his own players. As you know, college football is very cyclical. The players that Tyrone Willingham recruited in his first year are Junior's now... a.k.a. the bread and butter of Coach Weiss' football team now. The same thing happened with Terry Bowden in the 90's coming into a Auburn program on probation. A name like Bowden in college football is like the Bush name in politics. He came into a Pat Dye team who was highly touted and highly regarded as one of the best teams in the SEC (probably due to the recruiting violations). He proceeded to take this team to an undefeated record but not to a bowl game (due to probation). Coach of the year honors were flying. But like most sophmoric efforts, coach Terry gradually fell off as he lost players to every other team in the region. Proving his name was not enough to draw people to the university. Just wait you leprechaun lovers, the same will happen to you. Charlie Weiss is going to be the golden god for the next two years, even though your team will lose three games this season (bowl game included) and lose players to other teams. After two or three 8-3 or 7-5 seasons, the next poor soul will be asked to sit on the thrown in South Bend and shit out another SI cover after going 3-0 against Army, Navy, and Temple. Your team IS overrated even though no one wants to admit it and you will meet your maker in a bowl game.

If Weis wins the coach of the year, I'm going to vomit! Mike Shula from Alabama is more deserving than Weis...he actually beat some quality teams, including a shit-stomping of Urban Meyer's high flying spread offense Florida team and they will probably beat LSU, a team ranked in the top 5 of College football!! Shula is doing it with players HE recruited and recruiting is as important as play calling a game. Weis lucked into a program where Willingham recruited players to play a pro-style offense and Willingham would have succeeded, but since Weis came from the NFL, he knows pro-style already. It's a damn shame that Willingham isn't still there to reap the fruits of his labor. And why not Joe Paterno for coach of the year? He has three already, but I think this season is his best coaching performance yet. It takes major cajones to revamp your entire offensive scheme that had worked for decades, but he did it and is letting Galen Hall do ALL the play calling and it works. He also kept his hard nose approach on defense and it is paying off like it did in the 60's, 70's, 80's, and 90's. Let's not even mention the fact that he beat Ohio State who was 5 in the nation at that point and is still 10 right now, Minnesota who had the best rushing attack in the big ten at that point and was ranked in the low teens, a Northwestern team that has an absolutely scary offense, and Wisconsin, a team that was ranked 11 when they came to Happy Valley. That's three ranked teams!!! Sorry fat fuck Weis, but who the hell have you beaten? Only a Tennessee team that was VERY overhyped in the preseason polls. Beating Pitt, Navy, BYU, and Michigan won't cut it buddy! You also lost to Michigan State....who we will demolish in two Saturdays. Go fuck yourself. Coach of the Year my ass!!!!

Weis does kind of look like Rodney Dangerfield, doesn't he?
