Weis On Resignation: 'That's not happening.'

Chariie Weis had his usual 12:45 p.m. press conference, and it was more of the usual, especially for those looking for any indicators regarding his future as the head coach of Notre Dame. He’s not resigning, he has not heard anything about his future, but understands exactly where he stands in the eyes of those who sign his checks.

“If they decide to make a change, I’d have to say that I’d have a tough time arguing with that.”

Weis has been arrogant, he has made grave mistakes as a coach, and he has been no better on the field than his predecessors. (In some ways he’s been worse; his predecessors did not lose to Navy and Syracuse.) One area he has surpassed his forebears in, though, is honesty: his assessments of himself and his program have always been brutally frank, and that is something to commend even as he’s shown the door.
