What can you say about a guy who managed to parlay the greatest loss in college football history into a deal that’s still paying him more money from Notre Dame than Brian Kelly received from the school after taking the team to the national title game?
Well, all I can say is that’s it’s a long way down from touting yourself as Mr. Decided Schematic Advantage to picking up flotsam and jetsam from the MAC.
Sadly, however things play out at Kansas, there’s likely another sucker waiting to take a shot with Weis.
As a Bulldog living in the northeast I am a big Patriots fan and I can tell you that Weis made his reputation by coaching under Belichick and having a Hall of Fame quarterback running his offense. Somehow Fat Charlie got the credit for the Patriots success despite the obvious fact that it was Belichick and Brady that were the key players. They didn’t miss a beat after Weis left. I am baffled as to how he continues to ride their success. Glad he got a year with the Gators though. I hated them already and he just added to it.

The fact that Weiss and Junior still seem to be highly regarded despite the dumpster fires that their careers are is simply stupefying. Apparently, these two interview well.

My favorite part from the wikipedia page:
Polls are such majestic things. Now that we finally have a playoff, I think we should find a way to use the polls to decide who gets to play in it… don’t you? Truly the greatest loss in the history of college football.

“Sadly….there’s likely another sucker waiting to take a shot with Weiss.” I must disagree with that, Senator. Nobody is be that stupid. At least nobody with access to enough money to pay what Weiss would want to take the job.

Squeezing in that gluttony would be a perfect lap-band fit because, as his publicist says about he who rides an ice chest,
“He has his sights set on engineering the effort to turn the KU program into a consistent winner.”
