Charlie Weis is out after five seasons as Notre Dame coach, the New York Daily News is reporting.


The newspaper cited a source close to the program for its report.
Notre Dame players have scheduled a mid-afternoon players meeting for Monday while awaiting official word on Weis. The meeting will include a vote on whether the players want to play in a bowl game after their 6-6 season. Athletic director Jack Swarbrick has said he will consider the players' wishes in deciding on a bowl trip.


Weis was not in his office early Monday, though there were no announcements about whether he will return for a sixth season. Swarbrick has said he will make that decision within the next few days.

Not really surprising.

What gives??? I thought he would do really good for the Irish but he has been a mess.

What does it take to be a winner at Notre Dame? I am beginning to think it can not be done.

In order for ND to get back to their winning ways they will need a blockbuster of a coach to come in.
They need a guy who can convince top recruits to come to that catholic college in north Indiana where it is cold and dreary instead of going to Southern Cal or Florida or Texas. Weis couldn't do that.
