Lori Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Or that's what you'd think if your only source of information was Weis' biography in the 2009 Notre Dame media guide, anyway: Irish leave out losing seasons in bio of Weis Michael RothsteinThe Journal Gazette Notre Dame’s media guide has a lot of helpful things – except one. If you’re trying to get a full picture of Charlie Weis’ coaching career and how teams have done while he’s been on staff, you’ll need to do more research. Notre Dame omitted the losing seasons from Weis’ year-by-year biography on page 15 of the 2009 Spring Prospectus and page 90 of the 2008 football media guide. Among the omissions is the Irish’s 3-9 2007 season. The 2007 statistics appear on page 91 in the 2008 guide and in the school’s year-by-year history, among other places. The decision to omit those records goes back to when Weis was hired in 2005 without any prior head coaching experience. Notre Dame’s media relations department said Monday that it treated his coaching history like that of an assistant – only accentuating the positive. “That’s the way we did it at the time and that’s what we’ve lived with, for the most part,” said Notre Dame senior associate athletics director for media relations John Heisler said. “If you go back, it didn’t necessarily look the same as Bob’s or Tyrone’s or anybody’s. We weren’t trying to make it look identical.” Other records that are missing include the New England Patriots’ 5-11 season in 2000, the 6-10 year the Patriots had in 1995, the 5-11 year in 1993, a 6-10 campaign with the New York Giants in 1992 and two losing seasons at South Carolina: 5-6 in 1985 and 3-6-2 in 1986.

One of my friends, on the board I got this from: "Every reporter who covers Notre Dame this season should include Weis's record in every single story all season."
