It’s one thing to lose to a rival on their home turf – it’s quite another to get shutout, shellacked and downright embarrassed much like Notre Dame was in a 38-0 defeat at Michigan Saturday.
“My confidence isn’t shaken,” Weis said. “But as an organization, we haven’t done a very good job.”
No, you’ve done an absolute abysmal job Charlie. A bad job would be starting off a season 0-3, but showing a fight. An absolute abysmal job is going 0-3 and losing by a combined score of 102-13. An absolute piss poor job is getting shutout by one of the worst defenses in the nation.
The one thing I’ll credit Weis for, however, is the way he always takes responsibility. As a good coach does, he never points fingers and never puts it on the kids. Also, I realize Weis is working with a freshman quarterback and a very young team. However, these are the players he recruited and he’s in his third year. Ty Willingham was fired after three years and he was the one who recruited the players Weis took to the slaughterhouse last year. Is Notre Dame going to hold Weis under the same standards as they did Willingham? Doubtful.
Although hey, at least they didn’t lose to Appalachian State at home, so Weis has that going for him I guess.
