Weis' Future Being More Clear: The Wheels are in Motion
The Charlie Weis clock is now ticking to its preverbial ending. It all started on Saturday night after the Irish lost to Pittsburgh 27-22 and it's long flight back to South Bend. Sunday morning Weis was called in to Athletic Director Jack Swarbrick's office at 9:30 am, where he was told something. Whether he is staying or going, has not been made publicly, but the final nail seems to have been nailed shut.
Here are a few tidbits which should uncloud the Irish Nation's mind about the future of Coach Weis:
~ Weis calls off his Sunday media press conference. This is the first time in five years he has called off a press conference.
~ The media try to contact both Swarbrick and ND President Fr. Jenkins for comment on Weis future, but are not able to be reached, due to both being away from campus.
~ 12:00 p.m. South Bend Private Flight carrying Swarbrick and Jenkins is headed South to Florida.
~ The same plane also has scheduled flights this week to Cincinnati and Oklahoma.
~ Bob Stoops of Oklahoma has been reported as being intersted in the Notre Dame job if it becomes available, according to Brian Hamilton of the Chicago Tribune.
According to one of the Board of Trustees and a source inside the Athletic Department has both confirmed that both Swarbrick and Jenkins have put a package together to lure Urban Meyer back to South Bend. Here are the main details that are on the table as of yesterday:
1.) A 10-year $50,000,000 base salary, which doesn't include endoresment and university incentivies.
2.) 3 "special" projects a year, which may include JUCO transfers.
3.) A contract with Nike (football only)
4.) Additional incentives:
(a) $550,000 for Top 10 Finish
(b) $750,000 for BCS Bowl appearence
(c) $1.2 million for BCS National Championship
(d) $400,000 for 90% or better graduation rate
The carpet is ready to roll out for Meyer for the taking, whether Swarbrick and Jenkins can get it done, will be the trick. If not, Brian Kelly, seems to be the next logical choice.
These next two weeks will be a roller coaster for media and Irish fans alike. But one thing is for sure, the Weis era clock is about to hit midnight!

Is this a slap in the face of the SEC?

WTF is a "special project" that might include JUCO transfers? Money they direct to these sign and place guys tokeep them from going into the SEC?

This won't end until the Domers have Brian Kelly under contract.

Notre Dame should keep Charlie Weis. He is a fantastic coach.

I'm gonna laugh if Saban or Meyer actually do end up going there.
