Jim Donaldson: Pats' Weis to take ND job, but will stay for playoffs

 

01:00 AM EST on Sunday, December 12, 2004

 

FOXBORO -- Irish eyes are smiling, but Patriots fans may shed a tear or two at the news that offensive coordinator Charlie Weis is about to be signed, sealed and, after today's game with Cincinnati, delivered to Notre Dame.

 

Negotiations on a six-year contract worth approximately $12 million were finalized last night, and Weis will to fly to South Bend, Ind., tonight.

 

He will be officially introduced as head coach at his alma mater at a press conference tomorrow morning, before which he will have met with members of the football team that went 6-5 this season under Ty Willingham.

 

But Weis will continue to coach in New England through the playoffs, a situation Bill Belichick has dealt with previously. In 1994, when he led the Browns to the playoffs -- they beat Bill Parcells' Patriots in the opening round in Cleveland -- Belichick's defensive coordinator, Nick Saban, was named coach at Michigan State.

 

"There was a time period there," Belichick said last week, "when [saban] also was head coach at Michigan State and did some things with them and split a little bit of time between the two. Then, when the season was over, he went to Michigan State.

 

"I think he handled the situation well. Nick and I talked about it. We had a good relationship. We talked about it before he interviewed for the job. We talked about it after he was offered the job. We talked about it after he accepted the job, and then we worked our way through it. I don't think it was a problem.

 

"The things he had to do for Michigan State, he said: 'Look, I need this amount of time to do this.' So, we worked it out. He took that time. I don't know what he did. He might have recruited. He might have hired coaches. He might have rearranged his office. I don't really know. Whatever he did were things that he felt like he needed to do and he prioritized them."

 

Replacing Weis will be a top priority for Belichick in the coming year, but it doesn't come as a surprise.

 

While Weis is headed for South Bend, it could just as easily have been Cleveland, or Miami, or any of the several other NFL cities expected to have job openings by early next month.

 

At the age of 48, and after 15 highly-successful seasons as an NFL assistant -- he has made four trips to the Super Bowl, winning three, the last two as offensive coordinator in New England -- Weis has earned the chance to be a head coach.

 

He became a prime candidate at Notre Dame after the Irish failed to land Utah coach Urban Meyer.

 

Weis met Tuesday night with the Rev. John I. Jenkins, who'll replace the the Rev. Edward Malloy as Notre Dame's president in June, and director of athletics Kevin White, then spoke again Friday, by phone, with university representatives.

 

Negotiations between the university and Weis' agent, Bob Lamont, were concluded last night.

 

Weis, who graduated from Notre Dame in 1978, but didn't play football for the Fighting Irish, has earned a reputation for offensive creativity and ingenuity. Under his tutelage, Tom Brady, a sixth-round draft choice out of Michigan in 2000, has developed into a quarterback who has been the MVP in two Super Bowls. Although the Patriots last season did not have a single offensive player voted to the Pro Bowl, they outscored Carolina in the Super Bowl, 32-29.

 

"What I like about offense," Weis said recently, "is you get the chance to decide what you're going to do, and the defense has to react to it. I like to be aggressive. I like to be the guy forcing the issue.

 

"I think a lot of offensive coaches have taken a "we can't do this because they're going to do that," approach. Here, we are just the opposite. We say: 'We're going to do this. Let's see what they try to do to stop it.' "

 

Opponents have had trouble stopping the New England offense as designed by Weis. The Patriots won their first Super Bowl in 2001, then won again last season, when they started a winning streak that reached an NFL-record 21 in a row. New England has won 26 of its last 27 going into today's game against the Bengals.

 

Before running back Corey Dillon came to New England this season, Weis often had to rely on Brady's arm.

 

"I love to move the football," Weis said. "I'm known [for passing] because that's what we've done to move the ball. I want to throw it because it works. If it's not working, I don't want to be throwing it. A lot of it has to do with what players you have and what you can do against who you're playing against."

 

Weis will face a difficult schedule next season, including the likes of Southern Cal, Michigan, Pittsburgh, Tennessee and Purdue.

 

As for the Patriots, they'll face the difficult task of replacing him.

 

Good luck Charlie!

QUOTE (Batman @ Dec 9 2004, 07:23 PM) WOW!!!!!!!! I cant wait till this movie comes out looks like they doing all the right things so far. I don't know about you, but I'll be there opening night at midnight...   BTW, there's a rumor that Tim Booth's character of "Thug" (as listed on various movie sites) is actually Victor Zsazs. For those of you who don't know who Mr. Zsazs is, he's basicly a deranged serial killer who carves a mark into his body everytime he kills somebody. At the end of the movie as well, his current status is "At Large."   The rumored opening scene for the sequel is also supposed to be something like Batman tracking down some criminal and capturing him. And that criminal is rumored to be Mr. Zsazs. Just think how awesome a sequel dealing with both Two-Face AND Zsazs would be (as long as they don't team up). Two deranged f*cks running around with Batman tracking them down. Oh yea I have a friend we already put in for the next day off. Zsazs would be a great , I think the team up villian thing should be put to bed it would better to show him trying to juggling two villians rather then a team.

WOW!!!!!!!!

I cant wait till this movie comes out looks like they doing all the right things so far.

SWEET

Thank you once again.

I turn my face to the sun

 

Time stand still??

The most endangered species

The honest man

Will still survive annihilation

Forming a world

State of integrity

Sensitive, open and strong

Circumstances the agonise of youth

 

A boy alone, so far from home

Endless rooftops from my window

I felt the gloom of empty rooms

On rainy afternoons

Sometimes in confusion

I felt so lost and disillusioned

Innocence gave me confidence

To go up against reality

Cinderella Man a rocking song with a message of helping your fellow "man"

 

In the betrayal of his love he awakened

To face a world of cold reality

And a look in the eyes of the hungry

Awakened him to what he could do

2112 just is.................

The Fountain Of Lamneth wins another tough one for me this is my fav RusH album soo its very hard to choose just one song

III. No One At the Bridge

Remembering when first I held

The wheel in my own hands

I took the helm so eagerly

And sailed for distant lands

But now the sea's too heavy

And I just...I just don't understand

Why must my crew desert me?

When I need...I need a guiding hand...

 

VI. The Fountain

Now, at last I fall before

The Fountain of Lamneth

I thought I would be singing

But I'm tired...out of breath

Many journeys end here

But, the secret's told the same

Life is just a candle and a dream

Must give it flame

Tough choice narrowed it down to By-Tor and Beneath, Between And Behind

Had to go with the latter..........................

 

The guns replace the plow, facades are tarnished now

The principles have been betrayed

The dreams's gone stale, but still, let hope prevail

History's debt won't be repaid

 

 

Finding my way a great way to open a debut album.
