Notre Dame just doesn want to fire Charlie because hes white and Ty was black. Notre Dame hates black people, right?
Ty Willingham was not fired because he was black (although that may have had something to do with his hiring after the little George O’ Leary disaster) and Charlie Weis is not being saved from the wolves because he’s white. Most of us knew this season was going to be a down one – we didn’t think it would be this down, obviously – and as long as another great recruiting class was brought in and next year turns out better, hope springs eternal. If you want to point to factors why Weis is still around, the main one would be the University probably can’t survive another coaching turnaround this quickly and, to a lesser degree, he is a Domer who lives off the blue and gold. The Kool-Aid is very delicious in South Bend, and if you’re not here, it’s hard to describe how important it is for the Powers That Be, students and alumni that the coach is as insanely Irish as the rest of us.
