Someone needs to get on this and rework the entire article. As it stands now, this is just a cut-and-paste job from the Notre Dame Athletics site. The article also contains captions to pictures that were presumably in the article from which the text was copied (Ex. "Charlie Weis walks into the Joyce Center late Sunday night after being named football coach at Notre Dame," but there is no such picture in this article). Anyone with the time should think about a rewrite to get this article up to Wiki quality. Brian Brockmeyer 21:31, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)
I'm hesitant on whether a story of about a 17 year old's indecision belongs in the Charlie Weis article. I'm voting for nuking the Mitch Mustain blurb. KelleyCook 14:43, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
This is pretty lazy writing... ND gets the 14 million this year (2005-6), but in all future years ND will only get 4 million dollars each year, regardless of if they go to a BCS game or not. Whether this is a cheap shot at ND/Weis, or just bad writing, it needs to be fixed. -- —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 207.127.128.2 ( talk • contribs) 17:26, January 22, 2006 (UTC).
I deleted the two sentences referring to the slap incident at the MSU game. As far as I can tell there's no investigation, and no one has proven evidence otherwise. TND2006 21:00, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
I don't see how or why the fact that Charlie Weis, who didn't play football, happened to room with Terry Eurick, a football player during Weis' college days at Notre Dame, is relevant to an encyclopedia article. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. Weis never coached Eurick in the NFL (Eurick was a Notre Dame star but never, as far as I can tell, played in the NFL). Now, if Eurick had played some key role in getting Weis to accept the Notre Dame coaching job, or even got Weis to be interested in football for the first time, or something like that, that'd be relevant to the article (which should then contain this fact as well). But as far as I can tell their rooming together is the beginning and end of the Weis-Eurick connection.
I'm sure there's some article someplace where Weis talks about how many Notre Dame games he attended as an undergrad, or how many Notre Dame-logo articles of clothing he owned as a student, or how cold the stadium seats felt when watching games in November in Indiana. Should we also mention these "facts"? Yeechang Lee 15:02, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
The part about the students singing the alma mater, and how it supposedly originated with Weis, needs to be edited. It implies that he is the person who started the tradition. I don't know the facts. If he is, then it should be clarified. If it happened to occur while he was there, which is my suspicion, then it should probably be removed as irrelevant.
In response to above: I don't really do any editing on Wikipedia, but I'm a Notre Dame fan and I thought I should clarify that it was Weis who started the tradition of having the players sing the alma mater along with the students (who have always sang the alma mater with the rest of the fans in the stadium for as long as I can recall). 134.53.111.41 23:51, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
Honestly, much of this article is very unencyclopedic, especially in terms of choice of what to focus on. A great example is the most recent paragraph on weis' norte dame bio. It only focuses on notre dame "outstanding" defense. If someone is going to focus on their outstading defense, what about their "horrific" offense, of their "horrific defense against their loss to USC? I don't think that should be in their but the article should be written fairly, especially since it details all of weis' sucesses in past years, lets list the statistics for this horrible season. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.143.233.253 ( talk) 05:15, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
