Charlie gets last chuckle
Weis hired–no time to recruit and his asst coaches picked for him. Don’t think he even knew them.
2005-2006 Bowl games-found out he really did not have an offensive or defensive line.
2007-Clausen year one- disaster lack of recruits by TY hits home–Clausen almost killed
2008–better but asst coaching problem and still no linemen.
2009-some of the most exciting football games ever played but absolutely no defense.
So Charlie axed when 2010 was the year he was building for– might have won NC-if he keeps Clausen. When he got a reprieve for the 2009 season-he should have paid, even out of his own pocket,for the best experienced Defensive Co-Ordinator he could find.
Charlies problem-he did not look like Kirk Ferentz, just way too hefty for the ND elites.
2010 new coach quits with 6 minutes left in Navy game. Give Charlie credit he would still be trying with .50 secs left, let alone 6 minutes.
Both players and coach quit in this Navy game.
Thanks for all you did Charlie.
