DPR4444 Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 http://collegefootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2...rroll/index.php 'On Saturday, the former Notre Dame head coach sat down with five reporters for his first interview since being fired on Nov. 30. Tim Prister of IrishIllustrated.com was one of the writers on hand and reported more than others, including what appears to clearly be a vicious personal attack aimed at USC head coach Pete Carroll, whom Weis went winless against in five meetings. Toward the end of meandering discussion about how Weis is perceived and who he feels he really is, a follow-up question brought up Carroll's name. Weis seemingly cut off the question and had a few of his own when he said: "Let me ask you this question: You guys know about things that go on in different places. Was I living with a grad student in Malibu, or was I living with my wife in my house? You could bet that if I were living with a grad student here in South Bend, it would be national news. He's doing it in Malibu and it's not national news. What's the difference? I don't understand. Why is it okay for one guy to do things like that, but for me, I'm scrutinized when I swear. I'm sorry for swearing; absolve my sins."' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeF Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 1) I don't know many grad students who want to live with Jabba the Hutt 2) If Weis said this you have to look no further for reasons why he is no longer the coach at Notre Dame. Go be a cub reporter for Perez Hilton. 3) I guess its easy to get mad when you go 0-5 against your rival CYA Charlie... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who cares what Pete Carroll does in his private life, and who cares what Charlie Weis does in his? Weis isn't enhancing his chances at getting a decent NFL coaching job by spitting venom.

San Jose Bills Fan Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Charlie Weis=Total Mediocrity=Coat-tailed others=Right Place at Right Time=Peter Principle Look carefully at his resume. The guy has nothing. He's done nothing. Keep him as far away from the Buffalo Bills as possible. He makes Jauron look like General Patton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbb Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 So, where do I find out more and see pictures of this grad student that Carroll is shacking up with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Cocktosten Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Charlie Weis=Total Mediocrity=Coat-tailed others=Right Place at Right Time=Peter Principle Look carefully at his resume. The guy has nothing. He's done nothing. Keep him as far away from the Buffalo Bills as possible. He makes Jauron look like General Patton. Weis's comments about Pete Carroll are reprehesible and classless. I'm guessing Weis made those comments because of the things that USC's staff have told recruits (specifically Clausen) about Weis during his recruitment. USC staff were sick of Weis having recruiting success in California. Remember, USC is probably playing in the National Championship game this year if they had Clausen who was the top recruit in the country and from Cali. That being said, saying that Weis has done nothing is absurd. Let's start by the fact that he developed Tom Brady and Brady gives him all of the credit. They still stay in touch and Brady recently said that any team would be lucky to have him. Let's move on to Brady Quinn, who was horrible until Weis got there. If Weis never goes to ND, Quinn is lucky to get drafted. And now he's developed another QB in Clausen who will be the first QB picked in this years draft. Not to mention, he created and installed NE's offense which led them to 3 SBs. So maybe you should take another look at his resume, it looks pretty friggen good to me.

joemac Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Couldn't happen to a nicer guy than Pete Carrol. When he was with the Jets I will never forget him running down the sidelines after Kelly threw an interception giving Jim the universal choke signal.
