It was more than the fubar that Weiss inherited - The rings that Charlie wore worked some magic early however, Charlie was an imposter - an American Studies major at ND ( known as cut and paste) who didn't even play interhall football - I know, I would have played against his sorry ass. He lucked into a position with the best HC and saviest QB in NFL history - he knew shit. His arrogance alienated everyone at ND. Screw Charlie he shouldn't even come back for a reunion.
