In an interview with IrishIllustrated.com, Weis was asked: "Is it frustrating to you Pete Carroll, for example, portrayed in one way …” Then the departed coach had a mouthful in response, and brought Carroll under a lot of scrutiny as a result.

Weis said: "Let me ask you this question: You guys know about things that go on in different places. Was I living with a grad student in Malibu, or was I living with my wife in my house?

You could bet that if I were living with a grad student here in South Bend, it would be national news. He's doing it in Malibu and it's not national news. What's the difference? I don't understand. Why is it okay for one guy to do things like that, but for me, I'm scrutinized when I swear. I'm sorry for swearing; absolve my sins."

Carroll is married and has 3 kids.
