It’s been hard not to root for Charlie Weis’ speedy demise at Notre Dame. Weis has always carried himself as though he was gracing college football with his presence, as though the genius in his rather large head was his and his alone, and that merely by calling plays he was sharing it with an ungrateful public. Maybe that’s not how Weis really feels, but it’s always seemed so.
Charlie Weis Only Now Becoming Likable
↵Which is why it’s a bit late for Weis to suddenly become a likable guy. But believe it or not, it’s happening. For example:
↵
↵"I spent about three hours last night answering text messages from players and coaches saying they're sorry," Weis says. "I'm texting them back telling them it wasn't their fault."

Earlier in the evening, Sergio Brown stood bawling in Weis's second-floor office in the Guglielmino Athletic Complex (a.k.a., the Gug). Brown, the senior safety whose late-hit penalty in the second quarter provided the game's first tidal shift in the Huskies' favor, feels particularly responsible. Weis was having none of it
"The bottom line is, we're 6-5 and somebody is responsible," says Weis. "That somebody is me. And I have to accept responsibility."
↵Daww. Crying football players used to repel me -- why are you crying; it’s just football! -- much like Charlie Weis. And now I’m feeling a sincere dose of pity for both. What is wrong with me?
