View Full Version : Weis alienates Irish supporters, recruits

The guy who once boasted he "could get hoodlums and thugs and win tomorrow" strolled into Jeannette High School in the spring of 2007 to recruit superstar quarterback Terrelle Pryor. Jeannette coach Ray Reitz knew a bit about Charlie Weis and his reputation. Still, he was stunned by what he describes as a level of conceit he never had seen from the dozens of college coaches he had visited with over the years. Weis certainly made a lasting impression. "Arrogant as hell," Reitz said. When Reitz told Weis that Pryor might attend a USC quarterbacks camp, he remembers Weis replying: "Why send him there? If he's with me for one day he'll be good, two days he'll be great and three days he'll be incredible." Later, unprompted, Weis asked the Jeannette coaches if they wanted to take a picture of his Super Bowl ring. "I did it, just to be polite, and then gave [the picture] to one of the kids," Reitz recalled. Everyone who comes into contact with Weis, it seems, has a story -- and they're rarely complimentary. Many former players and alums are down on him for what they perceive as his arrogance, but they're reluctant to speak for the record. Why? As one prominent alum explained it, "A lot of things at Notre Dame hinge on your being a friend of the university." Alumni are fearful that if they speak out against Weis, they might lose their football tickets or their parking spots, or hinder their kids' chances for admission to the school. Yet they paint a picture consistent with a coach who referred to himself as "an obnoxious, sarcastic guy from New Jersey" in a "60 Minutes" profile that aired in 2006.

What a shock. They should just fire that Fat Fuck already. Hopefully Navy and OR Syracuse can play the game of their seasons and lives and beat ND in the next 2 weeks.

Just think about his arrogance and/or smugness if Notre Dame was good. The stories regarding him will be aired out once he leaves the program.

The amazing thing is that he didn't even play at Notre Dame. I don't think he even played Inter Hall football there either.

He's done at ND after next year. Their boosters are tired of losing to mediocre Big East and ACC teams.

Hugh Millen is a former University of Washington QB who rattled around the NFL in a backup position for about a decade. He played for Denver, the Rams, Dallas and New England. Hugh is now a sports radio guy in Seattle and constantly remarks that of ALL the people he was exposed to in football - from Pop Warner to the NFL - the biggest a-hole he ever crossed paths with was Weis. He says there isn't even a close second. His opinion isn't born of some situation like Weis booting him from the team or benching him. It's simply an observation that the man is a complete prick.
