He's been bashed ad nauseum. He defeated MSU, UCLA, in 2006 in what are ND's greatest games. (some of the finest) Former HC C. Weis came out of New England's Patriot NFL staff. (a fantastic resume to say the least)
Notre Dame was literally robbed in 2005 versus the USC Trojans and it killed Weis. IT KILLED HIM
Victory that afternoon in the high grass of South Bend likely would mean a trip to face Texas for the 2005 BCS Title. I firmly believe ND would have won it versus Vince Young's Longhorns. Weis would be respected currently instead of ridiculed.
Charles Weis was a victim of poor officiating in the NCAA CFB landscape. He was not unsuccessful due to intelligence as a issue.
