Who Will Replace Charlie Weis at ND?

After the loss to UConn, there is no question that Notre Dame must remove Charlie Weis. Charlie's career record is 35-26, a .573 winning percentage. That's worse than the.583 percentage of the previous ND coaches, Ty Willingham and Bob Davie.

And this time, Notre Dame has to get it right. They need to find another Lou Holtz--somewhere. Perhaps in Cincinnati. Brian Kelly has worked wonders with Central Michigan and the Cincy Bearcats. Of course, he can't even think about ND until the bowl games are completed. Some are suggesting Bob Stoops. Perhaps. Other suggest Urban Meyer. Not likely, since ND "low-balled" him last time around. Stanford's coach, Jim Harbaugh, a former Michigan quarterback, is considered by many to be the "hottest" coach around; but of course, he says he is staying where he is--how many times have you heard that line?

Since other schools like nearby Northwestern are out there beating the bushes, presumably ND realizes Charlie's ship has sailed and is already searching for a new captain.
