ikm sure turner gill and charlie strong will get token consideration. brian kelly would be the best hire i think..or urban meyer
Turner Gil and Charlie Strong have a 0% chance of getting the Notre Dame job. Urban Meyer has said it time and time again he will never leave Florida for Notre Dame.
Yeah Urban is an asshole (even when he coached at ND as a WR coach for Holtz) and a liar, but he wins championships. I would take him, but I doubt AD Swarbrick will. I think Brian Kelly is the next best option. If we are going to fire Weis, we need to get someone who has proven they can bee a college head coach.
I truly wanted Weis to succeed. He is a great individual, loves Notre Dame, and has all the best intentions for the university but he just can't keep losing to these teams with inferior talent. However, I blame yesterday's loss on DC Tenuta. Not sure why Weis is going to allow himself to get fired because of Tenuta's irrational loyalty to Harrison and Brian Smith (among other defensive players). Weis needs to do what Holtz did and take over the defense if he wants to stay around. This shit can't continue.
To answer the question -- if he wins out, he stays. A close loss to Pitt and he is on the bubble. Two more losses and he is gone.
And that would be a major problem. ND is too worried about style points. Skip Holtz would be another interesting candidate.
