After ND fires Weis next year

[bodoyle]

As a die hard ND fan I want to see Weis go ASAP. I have been thinking for a while about who would be good to replace him. Restore the ND name, keep them clean in the classroom and off the field etc.

I think that Northwestern's Coach Pat Fitzgerald would be a perfect fit - despite the bastage going to my rival high school. He is young and can relate to the players, he is used to the high academic standards (coming from Northwestern), and he isn't the complete dou**ebag that Weis is.

Yes, I know most people on here are not ND fans, but just curious what your guys thoughts would be about that.

Pat Fitzgerald went to Northwestern, so I don't know if it will be that easy to pry him away from that job.

Yeah. Northwestern or Notre Dame. It's a toss up. xrolleyesx

Every coach in America want the ND job. xpeacex

I know he did - damn bastage :p I think the money and the lure of a nationally recognized team might do it though.

I don't think as many do now as, say 10 years ago.

The rumor down here is Skip Holtz turned down some opportunities so he could go for the ND job next year.

Trust me I've had wet dreams about Urban coaching at ND xeekx xlolx Skip would only be offered the job b/c of his last name IMO.

First of all, I'm a ND hater. But the job in South Bend is the only NCAA job on par with the NFL. Southern Cal, Oklahoma, Alabama, all right up there, but Notre Dame is a step up.

I thought Paul Johnson was a good candidate for the job before Weis got hired.

[furpal87]

Notre Dame probably is a better job than the LIONS!!!xlolx

I'd rather Weis stay, and the Irish come to Tallahassee again. Or let the Noles shut 'em out again in South Bend. xlolx

Tampa Bay ain't too enamoured with Jon Gruden these days, and I understand that the money people in South Bend wanted him instead of Weis after Willingham got the boot. I wouldn't be surprised...

I'm sure there are plenty that would help pack his bags. xwhistlex

I'm an ND fan and I do not see Weis going. In fact I think he'll turn things around.

But if I'm wrong and they have another season like last then he'll be gone. They were awful.

Weis can't relate to kids nowadays. Kids want to be coddled and worshiped and clearly doesn't do that. I agree with him that they shouldn't, but the way it is today you have to.
