That's what Notre Dame's record was when Tyrone Willingham was fired and that's the school's record again after a double overtime 33-30 loss Saturday to Connecticut (5-5) on Saturday. Weis' 35-26 record gives him... Read Full Story

If there was still any doubt, I think it was settled Saturday when the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame fell victim to Connecticut at home. It is one thing to lose to USC or Pittsburgh. It is quite another to lose to the likes to Navy and Connecticut. Even Charlie Weis has even admitted that he would have a hard time arguing against his firing if that is... Read Full Story
Love him or hate him, you've got to give Notre Dame Fighting Irish Head Coach Charlie Weis credit for pointing at himself for the team's loss to the University of Connecticut (U Conn) Huskies 33 to 30 in overtime Saturday.

Charlie Weis is going about his job as Notre Dame coach as normal, saying he doesn't think a decision about his future has been made. "Oh no, I don't think that any decision's been made because I probably would know, and I don't know," Weis said Tuesday. "With that being said, it's full speed ahead to UConn, full speed ahead to Stanford and full-speed ahead to recruiting. That's exactly the way we're approaching it." Athletic director Jack Swarbrick has said he will evaluate the program... Read Full Story
