It's Time To Go Mr. Weis

When you become coach of one of the most storied football programs in college football a lot is expected of you. That was no different when Charlie Weis was hired in 2004 and he just simply hasn't produced the expected results.

After the latest loss to Navy, many are speculating that Weis will be out at the end of the season.

It's only fair that Weis is let go after Tyrone Willingham was fired after only three seasons.

Weis is now in his 5th season as head coach of the Fighting Irish and has hardly anything to show for it.

He's failed to beat the program's biggest rival in USC and has went 2-3 against Michigan.

Don't let Notre Dame's 6-3 record fool you. It should be a lot worse. The Fighting Irish had a ton of luck on their side by narrowly defeating sub-par teams like Purdue and Michigan State. They also relied on some last-second heroics to get by Washington.

Notre Dame hasn't been at the top for a long time now. Even when the Fighting Irish are gifted with a high preseason ranking they can never seem to do anything with it.

I've always cheered for the Fighting Irish. How can you not be at least a casual fan of the Fighting Irish after seeing "Rudy"?

In all seriousness this program is one great coach away from returning to the top. You can't tell me that recruiting is the issue because there are thousands of great players all around the country that would give anything to play for a program as prestigous as Notre Dame.

Even with this season's loaded roster Weis still can't seem to take this team to the next level.

The final step to returning to the top is finding a great coach to replace the bust that is Charlie Weis.
