Alright,
Anyone who knows me knows I'm a NOTRE DAME FOOTBALL fan and that Rudy makes me cry (sorry, but its emotional, dammit), but this is news that almost makes me cry and is a celebratory moment.
Charlie Weis, the Offensive Coordinator for the New England Patriots that has helped them win two Super Bowls has signed a six year deal with the Fighting Irish in hopes of bringing back the winning ways of Lou Holtz and Nute Rockne (sp?).
Though I do not necessarily agree with the untimely dismissal of Ty Willingham from his 6 yr contract (after three years, two bowl games and a 21-15 overall record), I do agree that Weis is a winner, and having helped coach THREE teams to SuperBowl victories (the Patriots twice and the 1990 NY Giants with Parcells and Bill Bellichek (again, sp)), not to mention having graduated from the winningest College Football program in history (ND), he will bring a new sense of WINNING back to South Bend.
A little upset with Ty being let go, but overall...happy that ND should be able (within 3 yrs) get back to prominence and be attacking for BCS bids...and maybe...hoping here...a national championship.
