Charlie Weis Still Employed

Notre Dame announced earlier today that Charlie Weis will be back for another year at the helm of Notre Dame football.

This is a great choice by Notre Dame to keep Weis for another year because they give Weis a chance to either earn/lose his job with some of his best players coming back for next year and they no longer look like a carousel of coaching. In addition, with an easy schedule coming up next season, they could find themselves in a BCS bowl once again.

Look at the players that are coming back for sure... Starting quarterback Jimmy Clausen, running backs Armando Allen, and Robert Hughes starting wide receivers Michael Floyd, Golden Tate. That alone looks promising plus they have 84 underclassmen.

In my opinion, they should try to bring Bill Callahan back to the college game to coach the offensive line or someone that could make a difference for that line. Also assuming Romeo Crennel gets fired from the Cleveland Browns, do you think Weis calls up his old buddy to see if he wants to coach defense in the college game?

Also some guy in the conversations of ESPN posted Notre Dame's schedule for next year...
Sept. 5 NEVADA
Sept. 12 at Michigan
Sept. 19 MICHIGAN STATE
Sept. 26 at Purdue
Oct. 3 WASHINGTON
Oct. 17 USC
Oct. 24 BOSTON COLLEGE
Oct. 31 vs. Washington State (at San Antonio, Texas)
Nov. 7 NAVY
Nov. 14 at Pittsburgh
Nov. 21 CONNECTICUT
Nov. 28 at Stanford

There two hardest games are at home right in a row and I think Rich Rod still is one year away in Michigan. They could easily only lose two games but at most I think they will lose four games.

As I said earlier, it's Weis' job to win or lose now.

-Charlie.
