Charlie Weis NFL rumors

Those rumors about Charlie Weis leaving Notre Dame to return to the NFL? The coach says they're false.

Quote:
Weis tells NFL feelers he's staying at Notre Dame - NCAAF - Yahoo! Sports
By TOM COYNE, AP Sports Writer
October 18, 2006

SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) -- Charlie Weis got some "feelers" from NFL teams during Notre Dame's bye weekend on his interest in returning to the pros.

Weis said after the Irish practice Wednesday he told those in contact the same thing he told teams last year -- he's happy where he is.

"Everyone knows I'm staying here until they fire me or I die," he said. "I'm here for life. That's what I said I was going to do. So why would I not be a man of my word?"
So it looks like Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis isn't going anywhere. So will he win a National Title with the Irish before they, to paraphrase the coach himself, fire him or he dies? And if so, when?

Re: Charlie Weis NFL rumors

I loved Weis' response to the media questions. Everyone knows how he feels he was slighted by the NFL and now he's happy at Notre Dame. They had their chance and they let him go. Now Weis is doing a great job for the Fighting Irish. You gotta like his commitment to the school, that's for sure.

Re: Charlie Weis NFL rumors

Interesting story in the Chicago Sun times today, basically accusing Weis of planting the NFL rumors to keep the heat from the Irish fans and boosters off his back.

Quote:
CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: Greg Couch :: Weis isn't above an option play
Last week, NFL.com reported that ''at least two owners'' had contacted Weis during Notre Dame's off week to see if he could be pulled away. Weis confirmed it but said, ''I'm not going anywhere.''

Hmm. Two owners? How did the reporter find that out? Did two owners just happen to leak that in the same week? Possibly. Incredible coincidences happen.

But it would seem more likely that Weis, whose autobiography was ghost-written by another NFL.com writer, planted that story. Maybe he did it himself; maybe his agent did it.

Planted it, confirmed it, then reconfirmed his love of Notre Dame.
That's some pretty harsh accusations. What do you guys think? Could it be true?

Cool Re: Charlie Weis NFL rumors

You're right Lefty - of course he leaked it. The same way Tiki leaked his retirement story and then played dumb.
