Someone takin a "shot" at Weiss

SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) - A new billboard facing the Notre Dame campus offers a not-so-subtle reminder to coach Charlie Weis that the past two seasons have not been up to the standards of the storied Fighting Irish football program.

 

It reads: "Best wishes to Charlie Weis in the fifth year of his college coaching internship." Weis said Tuesday he had not yet seen the billboard, about a half mile from his office, but had been told about it.

"Everything was great until the last word," he said, laughing. "So tell them thanks a lot for wishing me best wishes."

They should have put the words "front butt" in there somewhere.

Truth and Rumors

 

Tom Reynolds doesn't remember how much he paid Burkhart Advertising to rent the billboard on the corner of Edison Road and South Bend Avenue. Reynolds, a retired college marketing professor who lettered for the Irish in 1967, claims to represent roughly 50 former Irish football players, mostly from his era and like-minded in their opinion of Weis' 29-21 bottom line after four seasons. "By definition, a good football coach does not lose games when he has superior talent on the field, and at least splits the games where the talent is approximately equal," Reynolds read from an e-mail. "Considering the W-L record of Coach Weis at Notre Dame, one would have to conclude he is serving an internship as a head coach of a college football team, which is defined as 'any formal program to provide practical experience for beginners in an occupation or profession.'"
