Yes. Easily could be 2-8 this year, have no defense, and he's never beaten anyone GOOD.

As a Buckeye fan, it doesn't really matter. However, if my program was in this situation, undoubtedly things would need to be changed (again).

Time for that fat ass to walk the plank. And I don't think he'll make it to the end without it smashing in the drink.

Shame,shame on Ol' Notre Dame. Your choice for head coaches is getting quite lame!

I don't see how the alum will accept another losing season, I see him being bought out of his contract.

Plain and simple answer is yes. But I will go you one better. He should be replaced by Jim Harbough... Look at what Harbough has done with lesser talent at Stanford, and then imagine what he could do at Notre Dame !

Check my last post on the ND-Pitt thread.

You and I agree on the successor.

Yes, they have to. Especially considering the coaches that are out there right now and most likely available. You have Brian Kelly who I don't see turning down ND. And if he does, you have Gruden out there.

That he should be. I don't like ND but they need to be good to make College Football better.

Why would they want to give up the schematic advantage that they have locked in for the next 40 years?

I don't think he'll get fired this year.... I don't know why I feel this way, I just see him getting 1 more year... of course I could be wrong.

And if he does get fired, I don't see Brian Kelly leaving Cincinnati. He's in a great situation there running ramrod on most of the Big East.

Charlie Weis is not a good coach. He can't cheat, like they did in New England, now. Notre Dame needs to get someone that can actually coach an entire team, not just the offense.

I voted yes, but ND needs to be smart about any new hire. I'd make the strong pitch for Gruden, but ND shouln't count out a young up and comer (like Harbaugh at Stanford) if the opportunity presents itself.

Yes Yes Yes. As for the Michigan fan hoping he stays, it sure looks rosy up in Ann Arbor too. The man can recruit and you can tell he loves the university but he needs to go. At least he left it in a lot better shape than he got it.

Yes, he should be gone. Did an equivalent job to that of Davie and Tyrone.
