Best Evidence Yet on the Beli-cheat Scandal
Charlie Weis was a renowned offensive coordinator “guru” who helped the Patriots win three super bowls. Curiously, his timing and success with the Pats coincides with the time many believe the Patriots were secretly taping opposing teams offensive and defensive calls.
Now that Weis is on his own as head coach at Notre Dame and the results, without the aid of illegal activity, speak for themselves.
“Weis' Fighting Irish now stand at 1-7. This record is only the faintest indicator of just how awful Notre Dame is. They have lost nine of their last 10 games, by an average of 24 points….Of the 119 teams in Division I-A, ND is 119th in total offense, 119th in rushing offense, 112th in passing offense, and 118th in scoring. If Notre Dame had doubled its scoring output, it would still rank 108th. If it doubled its rushing output (currently 34 yards a game), it would barely eke out Duke for 118th place. This is not merely bad. This is ineptitude on a staggering, world-historical scale. Such a performance would be prima facie evidence for firing the coach even at a doormat program like Indiana. At a school like Notre Dame, well … it's simply impossible to describe how awful this performance is,” notes Jonathan Chait.
