Wing Man Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 The Pegula jet set a flight plan to Lawrence, KS this morning leading to the conjecture that the braintrust is interviewing Charlie Weis. Weis, of course, reached his career pinnacle as the offensive coordinator for New England earning three Super Bowl rings. He was rewarded with the head coaching position at his alma-mater Notre Dame. Leaning on previous head coach Ty Willingham's recruiting, ND had consecutive seasons of 9-3 and 10-3 in 2005 and 2006. Then Weis's recruiting became evident with records of 3-9, 7-6, and 6-6 thereafter before the alumni chased him out of South Bend with torches and pitchforks. Weis spent 2010 as OC FOR KC where he had the league's best running offense and he raised Matt Cassell to a career year with 27 TDS AND 5 INTs. The Chiefs went from 4-12 the prior year to 10-6 and a playoff appearance. Inexplicably, he left KC for the University of Florida Oc job where he was unspectacular. His most recent job was as head coach of the Kansas Jayhawks, a recruiting program abyss, where he compiled a 6-22 record over 2+ seasons. Assuming this is true, it would bring the number of Bills candidates to 12. Clearly better suited for the pro game, can he resurrect an anemic Bills offense?

Jamie Nails Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Perhaps he's one of the potential O coordinator candidates for the HC's that they are interviewing. If true, then they are really doing their due diligence. I sincerely hope they aren't talking to him for HC job, if they are even talking to him at all.

H2o Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Nope, saw that trainwreck @ Notre Dame while he was there. He;'s a career coordinator in the NFL or a decent, not even good, college coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Jackson Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 This isn't real. Weis was fired from Kansas. Maybe they are considering this bum as the OC but no prayer he ever lands another HC gig anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark80 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 There is no way I can see this being a HC thing. He has failed way too many times in way too many places to get an NFL head coaching job again. OC? That may be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach Tuesday Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 I always wondered what happened to this guy, at one point he was a widely-regarded head coaching candidate. Boy did his career crash and burn. Weis as Reich's OC would be a brilliant outcome, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 I *think* he is STILL getting paid by Notre Dame. Where's NDBUFFCUSEFAN when you need him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malazan Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 I heard that the Bills plane flew over Michigan while on the way out west. Possible they are working on prying Harbaugh out of the college game and back to the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Section242 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 This isn't real. Weis was fired from Kansas. Maybe they are considering this bum as the OC but no prayer he ever lands another HC gig anywhere. He's trying to take the Chan Gailey route to getting another head coaching gig.
