SOUTH BEND, Ind.(AP)—Notre Dame has fired coach Charlie Weis after a string of disappointing seasons that was capped by an agonizing four-game losing streak.
Athletic director Jack Swarbrick announced the decision Monday, saying in a news release “We have great expectations for our football program, and we have not been able to meet those expectations.”
Swarbick says he recommended to the university president Sunday night that Weis be let go with six years left on his contract.
Assistant head coach Rob Ianello will step in for Weis until a new head coach is hired.
Following a 6-2 start, the losing streak began and as it progressed Weis’ future was in doubt.
Weis finishes 35-27 in five seasons, worse than his two predecessors, Tyrone Willingham and Bob Davie.

they were but a few plays from 9-3 no?
but to uconn and navy and a bad michigan team ?
Yeah, evidently Weis can't recruit defensive players.
Like someone mentioned before..............Notre Dame has the huge tradition, but getting great players to attend a private university in a very cold climate is more difficult now a days. Especially when you have good football programs in the warm belt.
Most saw this coming. Meyer wont leave UF. I think Stoops is on his way to South Bend.
+1. The trend in Norman is downwards and Stoops needs to get out while the gettin's good.

Already a verbal agreement?
doubtful.
It's a bad fit for both parties and I doubt ND wants to pony up the $10 mill per season it would probably take to get him there.
Doesn't ND have the highest revenue of any other football program? I think it happens.
Wonder what this guy would look like in Navy and Gold
I think phone calls go like this:
Meyer
Meyer
stoops
kelly
Or 5-7...If Michigan State holds them on the last drive, they lose in East Lansing.
that would kind of surprise me. do people think there's a real chance of that?
10 million a year for stoops?
does he make that?
If I was getting paid a lot of money to call people The Sheriff or The Surgeon on MNF, that's a gig I wouldn't be giving up.Wonder what this guy would look like in Navy and Gold
I still think Farentz is gonna wind up there....
eh, I've seen stranger things, but I just don't see Stoops leaving OU for ND unless they give him a blank check for the next 5+ years like they did for Weiss.
even then....
not yet
Brian Kelly.
thats what i think. oh, and $10 million a year is insane...for any coach. so, no.
A great recruiter who can't win bowl games..... Stoops sounds just like what Notre Dame is looking for.
imagine if they went and looked for a cheap up-and-coming coach and pumped 8 million of that into facilities and recruiting every year, much greater return on investment IMO
Which is why I think it will be Kelly. He will not cost as much as a Gruden, Meyer or Stoops.
