Charlie Weiss Quoted

[Chuck 54]

Unlike Pete Carrol, Charlie Weis has never been a head coach in the NFL. It is the ultimate goal of any coach in his profession. Ignore everything he's said about N.D....any guy just hired would say the same things. A college coach will say he plans to be there for the rest of his career in his final year....it's called recruiting.

If someone makes the right offer, and it's a team he can get excited about, he'll leave N.D. for a chance to prove he can reach the top of his profession, especially when his star QB is about to graduate.

I don't know that anyone is going to buy out that contract, but I do believe Weis would be interested in coaching the Cowboys, depending on what information he gets from Parcells.

If Parcells says working for Jones is a pain in the butt and that Romo is no more than a journeyman, then Weis would never consider setting himself up for failure. IF Parcells tells him the opposite on both topics, then Weis would be very interested, I believe.

I'm betting that Parcells stays on one more year after this, and in 2008 it will be Weis as HC/OC and Al Groh as defensive coordinator.

Dang! I could live with that!!

Most certainly, although I'm not a Zimmer hater like some.

I think History has proven that no matter how far fetched an idea may seem, anything can happen.

In 1910 the Titanic was advertised as unsinkable. 1911 the Titanic is Launched and begins sea trials. April 10th 1912, Titanic puts to sea on her maiden voyage. April 15th 1912, 2:20 AM, the Titanic Sinks.

In 1928, Andre Maginot convinced France to build a fortified line of defense to protect France from invasion by the Germans. It was said that the line was inpenitrable. In June of 1944, the then German held Maginot line was used in defense of the Allied forces by the German Army against invasion of Germany.

"If God had meant man to fly, he (she) would have given him wings." Dec. 17th, 1903, Orville Wright, KittyHawk North Carolina, makes the first flight in History. July 20th 1969, Commander Neil Armstrong declares the following, "One small step for man, one giant step for mankind.", thus becoming the first human to land on the moon.

1990 Steve Spurrier is named Head Coach of The Florida Gators Football Program where he compiles a record of 122-28-1, 8 SEC Titles and one National Championship. He is given a lifetime contract at Florida State University which he accepts, proclaiming he will never leave Florida. Jan 4th 2002, Spurrier resigns as Head Football Coach of Florida and accepts Head Coaching position with the Washington Commanders of the NFL.

Anything is possible.

Steve Spurrier was a numbskull.

Steve Spurrier was a numbskull.

I have no arguement here.

I am sorry, Woody, but there is a lot more support for the $15 Million buyout then there is for these fantasy's about CW dropping everything to come to the Cowboys. And quoting all those other coaches means nothing as regards CW. Isn't the definition of prejudice judging a whole group by the actions of a few?
And, Wayne, frankly, there are a lot of coaches who do not consider the professional ranks the epitome of coaching. Many fine college coaches like Paterno, Bowden and others over the years never had any desire to coach in the pros. Just because YOU consider that the top of the profession does not mean its true. Or that it is true to everyone.

Paterno almost took a job with the Jets in the early 70's but the money wasn't right so to say that some coaches have no interest in the pros is naive at best.

 

[L-O-Jete]

$15 million is the current cost of buying out his contract. I do not see many teams really, when it comes down to writing THAT check, that will do it.

It's not just the 15mill to buy him out, you'll have to give him at least 5mill per for the next 5 years guaranteed that makes it at least 40 mill for 5 years... that is some serious cash

Wow! So he did help out ** afterall :laugh1:

Again where's the proof that there is a 15mm buyout? You can say it all day long, but you've posted nothing, not even speculation other than your own, that that's what it would take to get him out of his contract.

How many folks on here have to post factual examples of people stating something unequivocally at one point and doing the exact opposite of that in the next breath? Take off the gold blinders and realize that while he may ultimately never leave, it's not as unrealistic as you think.

 

[burmafrd]

Spud, try and think about something. Just maybe there are coaches out there not interested in coaching in the pros. Is that so hard for you to accept? If so, then that is YOUR problem.

Like I said woody- judging one person by activities of others is WHAT?
AND I do not feel the need to look for all the articles -apparently from insiders inside ND's athletic department- that talked about the extension during the month of December 2005. I therefore challenge YOU to find something outside of the daily turd and other well know rags to support your speculations.

Translation - These articles do not exist. This is not the information you are seeking. Move along.

Oh snizzap! He done flipped the script! I am fully expecting Sergeant Slaughter to appear with a ladder.

Paterno actually accepted the job with the Pats, but then after sleeping on it called them back the next day to say no. I wouldn't call that never having any desire. He interviewed and accepted the position.

 

[jazzcat22]

I'd be interested in Weiss taking over for Parcells. But this is ESPN, they pretty much can't get anything right about Dallas.
YAKUZA

Can he bring Brady Quinn with him.

My link came from nfl.com. Where's yours?

Say what you want, but if everyone is saying that it COULD happen, not that it WILL happen, then you need to at least be realistic about it. You're not.

And trying to challenge me to do your research is crazy. You're the one pushing a 15m buyout, not me. I'm not interested in doing the legwork for you. You do that all the time. Disagree with someone's opinion by posting certain things, but have nothing to back it up.

 

[jackrussell]

Why the fuss about getting, at best, the second best college football coach here is beyond me.
