"Steelers safety Troy Polamalu was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame Saturday night.
He also had a Hall of Fame comeback to former New England Patriots offensive coordinator Charlie Weis on Sirius XM.
During an interview with Weis’ “Radio Row,” Weis jabbed Polamalu, saying that the Patriots knew they could get yards against the Steelers with play action because Polamalu constantly wanted to stick his nose into the line of scrimmage.
Troy’s response was a “Spygate” dart: “That’s because you guys had our playbook, by the way. A big asterisk next to those play fakes.”
A little shot about how Weis went 0-5 as Notre Dame head coach against Polamalu’s USC Trojans could’ve been the cherry on the sundae."
to the arrogance to the bragging,what a disgrace they hired that clown..I guess the hoodies made him think he was Belicheat, that and flashing his SB rings as if he had anything to do with it, we all know that's the Belichick/Brady show..
To top everything off, maybe the worst, ABSOLUTE WORST, coach Ive Ever seen And the biggest myth he perpetuated, and some to this day believe it, a very good OC..He was a terrible OC, couldnt even figure out a way to beat some of worst teams ND ever played, (see Syracuse, UCONN) AND LOST TO NAVY to end the streak
After ND he got exposed at Kansas, Fla, and KC Chiefs for the fraud hat he is..
he couldn't run the whole organization.
...history. He parlayed the 2005 USC loss into a fortune.

I don't know if some people simply don't see it, but in 2003, when Willingham showed how truly lazy he was, not even bothering to reach out to players who would have loved to play at ND, the writing was on the wall.
Then when he actually did make an effort to find players, the best ones were either already snapped up or soured on us, and all that were left were players that very few other 1A schools wanted. He even brought in the talentless Tregg Duerson, someone who didn't even deserve two stars.
Charlie Weis had his faults, and lacked head coaching experience. His biggest mistake was trusting Jon Tenuta to run the defense, which easily cost us 4 wins in 2009, where playing "jailbreak blitz every down" gave almost every opponent two extra scores a game.
However, there's absolutely no question that he pulled us out of a terrible pit of muck. Towards the end of the Willingham era, we were settling for two star recruits who would have been lucky to sniff a 1A offer. Weis worked tireless to bring up the talent level, and managed to do that even during that awful 2007 season, and pulled in the strong class in 2008 that gave Brian Kelly a much more well-stocked larder compared to what Weis inherited.

In 2007 the cupboard was incredibly bare and remember it was Willingham who talked Justin Tuck out of staying for another year and Tuck was only a fourth round pick. If we would have had Tuck in 2005, we might have been more able to stop Reggie Bush who killed us that game. His offense with Jimmy Clausen was very dynamic. His defense stunk and we lost a lot of momentum from our program due to the incredibly bad 2007 season. A 5 star running back turned out to be a huge disappointment too and I cannot remember his name, James something. I think.
James Aldridge was never the same after shredding his knee.
Given that two true freshman (Armando Allen and Robert Hughes) eclipsed him in that awful 2007 season, it was a sad sight to see that someone with that much talent had his career crushed with one injury.
