Coach Weis has said he won't leave.
He's built a big beautiful house.
He told Chris Myers there would be nothing to lure him to the NFL..
And yet, this morning, this little item appeared in the Newark Star-Journal, at the tail-end of an article about the NY Giants' pursuit of Scott Pioli for their GM opening..
If the Giants hire Pioli, it would add life to the rumors Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis will be the team's next head coach. Weis was the Patriots' offensive coordinator from 2000-04.
Recently, Weis has publicly stated he would not leave Notre Dame anytime soon, but the same source who discussed Pioli said the Giants have been told Weis would be interested in the job. Weis might simply be taking his public stance because he doesn't want to hurt his recruiting if he stays in South Bend.
Now, consider the source. There have been articles all over the NY papers talking about Charlie and the Giants job, as though to try to recruit him to it-- imagine that, the papers recruiting a guy to a job so they can no doubt start trashing him next season. As we all trash on coaches like Bobby Petrino (who just ran out on a 10 year contract with Louisville to take the Atlanta Falcons job), how terribly disheartening it is to read crap like this. So is this guy just trying to give Giants fans up in Jersey something to talk about around the water-cooler?
Can this be real?
