Notre Dame AD Stands Behind Weis

ESPN is reporting that Notre Dame Athletic Director Jack Swarbrick has verbally confirmed that he is not currently evaluating Fighting Irish football coach Charlie Weis, who has been under criticism for his miserable campaign last season, and a record this season that many feel should be better at this point. As you probably know, the Irish were shut out by Boston College last weekend.

Whenever there’s bad news, the rumors start to fly about Weis’ future with the team, but according the new AD, his job should be secure. Swarbrick added his thoughts on the future of Notre Dame football:

  • “We have the facilities and we can bring the highest level of student-athlete to Notre Dame. With reduced scholarships and other factors, I don’t think anybody can repeat the success Notre Dame and Oklahoma did years ago. But I also see no reason we can’t win a national championship.”
