JoeF Posted December 11, 2004 Posted December 11, 2004 To say Charlie Weis has been offered and has accepted the ND head coaching job. They do not have confirmation from either the University or Weis. Mort just said on ESPN radio that Weis and ND are in negotiations but if the Dolphins called regarding their opening Weis would still listen. All reported FWIW....
Tux of Borg Posted December 11, 2004 Posted December 11, 2004 A win-win situation for both the Bills and Irish.
Guest Tom Clement's Mom Posted December 11, 2004 Posted December 11, 2004 Best news i heard all week, i dont care if its true or not, im happy for now
JoeF Posted December 11, 2004 Author Posted December 11, 2004 Now the Pope does need to intervene and end the Patriots season early so Weis can get started at ND....maybe Tom Clements will have a big role in ending it......hmmmmm...I can dream can't I???
MartyBall4Buffalo Posted December 11, 2004 Posted December 11, 2004 I don't want to get too happy cause neither ND or Weis confirmed this, but if it's true it just make the holiday season all the better. HAVE A HOLLY JOLLY CHRISTMAS IT'S THE BEST TIME OF THE YEAR. HAVE A HOLLY JOLLY CHRISTMAS THIS YEAR
bartshan-83 Posted December 11, 2004 Posted December 11, 2004 Well we just cut off the porn and started doing some mad chanel surfing. There was a a report that he accepted the job yesterday but as far I was concerned it was just a rumor. Im sure ND will make Weis leave immediately for recruiting. Thats what they wanted Gruden and Meyer to do. But who knows if thats even possible. GREAT news for a ND and Bills fan!
JimBob2232 Posted December 11, 2004 Posted December 11, 2004 I am happy with Mularkey, but if the NFL didnt have such a horrid rule regarding hiring of head coaches, Wies would be head coach in buffalo or somewhere else in the NFL already.
BRH Posted December 11, 2004 Posted December 11, 2004 From a Globe article on the Weis-ND talks: One issue with a college hiring Weis would be his availability during the recruiting season (the national signing date for high school players is Feb. 2, and this season's Super Bowl is not until Feb. 6). Coach Bill Belichick said yesterday he expected Weis to be with the Patriots through the end of the season, and it is not unprecedented for an NFL coordinator to remain with his pro team even after accepting a college job. Nick Saban was Belichick's defensive coordinator with the Cleveland Browns in 1994 and completed the NFL season even after agreeing to become head coach at Michigan State. "I think Nick did a good job," Belichick said. "We had a good relationship. We talked about it before he interviewed for the job. We talked about it after he was offered the job. We talked about it after he accepted the job and then we worked our way through it. I don't think it was a problem. "The things he had to do for Michigan State, he said, `Look, I need this amount of time to do this.' So, we worked it out. He took that time. I don't know what he did. He might have recruited. He might have hired coaches. He might have rearranged his office. I don't really know." Even if Weis stays through the NFL season, he'll certainly have other things on his mind. Plus I'm pretty sure the Browns didn't make the playoffs that year, so Saban had a good month or more before the signing period started -- that won't be true in this case.

I hope you don't have my brother for a philosophy course Bart--I am going to report you
silvermike Posted December 11, 2004 Posted December 11, 2004 Even better, with Weis already gone, it makes Romeo Crennell that much more attractive in places like Cleveland and Miami - I think he's the better coordinator in any case, so hopefully he'll be out of conference, at the very least.
BillsGuyInMalta Posted December 11, 2004 Posted December 11, 2004 Hooray...The Patriots get hurt, and we keep Clements (who I think is really coming around as our O-Coordinator). Now lets focus on the Browns, Mr. Clements!

Some of my friends took him and they liked him. The one class that would have fit my schedule though is restricted. Oh well.... I do hope that Weis thing is true just so we can have an answer finally.

Weis does wonders with Brady's...
wwovince Posted December 11, 2004 Posted December 11, 2004 Reported on ESPNEWS as well that Weis is workong on contract terms now
JimBob2232 Posted December 11, 2004 Posted December 11, 2004 LINK: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6689880/ Patriots coach Bill Belichick said Friday that even if Weis were hired by Notre Dame, he expected Weis to fulfill his duties with the Patriots. "Charlie is here. Charlie is working hard. Charlie, I expect, will continue to be here and carry out his responsibilities through the season," Belichick said at his Friday press conference.
Guest Guest Posted December 11, 2004 Posted December 11, 2004 Even if Weis stays through the NFL season, he'll certainly have other things on his mind. Plus I'm pretty sure the Browns didn't make the playoffs that year, so Saban had a good month or more before the signing period started -- that won't be true in this case. Browns did make the playoffs that year, and beat the Patriots.
MadBuffaloDisease Posted December 11, 2004 Posted December 11, 2004 Even better, with Weis already gone, it makes Romeo Crennell that much more attractive in places like Cleveland and Miami - I think he's the better coordinator in any case, so hopefully he'll be out of conference, at the very least. Hopefully Crennel is gone as well, but with Belichick being a defensive genius and the lesser talent Weis has had to work with, I'd say that Weis is the better coordinator.
IDBillzFan Posted December 11, 2004 Posted December 11, 2004 It would seem to me that if Weis were to take the job and ND, leave NE and start TODAY, it wouldn't make one iota of difference to what NE is doing this year.
BradRiter Posted December 11, 2004 Posted December 11, 2004 Latest report from Mort: ND and Weis are negotiating. Clements has been told he's no longer a candidate.
