    Yes. Easily could be 2-8 this year, have no defense, and he's never beaten anyone GOOD.
  • steel_curtain
    He's got to go.

    As a Buckeye fan, it doesn't really matter. However, if my program was in this situation, undoubtedly things would need to be changed (again).

    Time for that fat ass to walk the plank. And I don't think he'll make it to the end without it smashing in the drink.

    Shame,shame on Ol' Notre Dame. Your choice for head coaches is getting quite lame!
  • Cmhs74
    I don't see how the alum will accept another losing season, I see him being bought out of his contract.
  • noreply66
    maybe ND should lower their grade point average
  • killer_ewok
    Yep.
  • milehiiu
    Plain and simple answer is yes. But I will go you one better. He should be replaced by Jim Harbough... Look at what Harbough has done with lesser talent at Stanford, and then imagine what he could do at Notre Dame !

    Check my last post on the ND-Pitt thread.

    You and I agree on the successor.
  • thedynasty1998
    Yes, they have to. Especially considering the coaches that are out there right now and most likely available. You have Brian Kelly who I don't see turning down ND. And if he does, you have Gruden out there.

    LOL. I didn't see your post. But you must be a gentleman and a scholar as great minds think alike. :P

    That's funny, I was just thinking the same thing about you! :D
  • OldDanTucker
    As a michigan fan I hope fat boy stays forever, but he will get canned after the season imo
  • gerb131
    That he should be. I don't like ND but they need to be good to make College Football better.
  • enigmaax
    Why would they want to give up the schematic advantage that they have locked in for the next 40 years?
  • Davey Stone
    Yes

    His replacement will be Charlie Strong or Brian Kelly
  • darbypitcher22
    I don't think he'll get fired this year.... I don't know why I feel this way, I just see him getting 1 more year... of course I could be wrong.

    And if he does get fired, I don't see Brian Kelly leaving Cincinnati. He's in a great situation there running ramrod on most of the Big East.

    Charlie Weis is not a good coach. He can't cheat, like they did in New England, now. Notre Dame needs to get someone that can actually coach an entire team, not just the offense.
  • Manhattan Buckeye
    I voted yes, but ND needs to be smart about any new hire. I'd make the strong pitch for Gruden, but ND shouln't count out a young up and comer (like Harbaugh at Stanford) if the opportunity presents itself.
  • Mr Pat
    Yes Yes Yes. As for the Michigan fan hoping he stays, it sure looks rosy up in Ann Arbor too. The man can recruit and you can tell he loves the university but he needs to go. At least he left it in a lot better shape than he got it.
  • jpake1
    Should have been fired after last year.
  • slingshot4ever
    Yes, he should be gone. Did an equivalent job to that of Davie and Tyrone.
