Notre Dame omits Weis' losing season
Notre Dame's media guide has a lot of helpful things -- except one. If you're trying to get a full picture of Charlie Weis' coaching career and how teams have done while he's been on staff, you'll need to do more research. Notre Dame omitted the losing seasons from Weis' year-by-year biography on page 15 of the 2009 Spring Prospectus and page 90 of the 2008 football media guide. Among the omissions is the Irish's 3-9 2007 season. The 2007 statistics appear on page 91 in the 2008 guide and in the school's year-by-year history, among other places. The decision to omit those records goes back to when Weis was hired in 2005 without any prior head coaching experience. Notre Dame's media relations department said Monday that it treated his coaching history like that of an assistant -- only accentuating the positive. "That's the way we did it at the time and that's what we've lived with, for the most part," said Notre Dame senior associate athletics director for media relations John Heisler said. "If you go back, it didn't necessarily look the same as Bob's or Tyrone's or anybody's. We weren't trying to make it look identical."

Well Gariboy it lasted all of one day.
The omission explains why the trustees and Notre Fans think he's such a great coach. His winning percentage just doubled without that season.

Didn't they push O'Leary away for the same kind of nonsense?
The also failed to mention his loss in the court room, his penchant for child mastecation, and his failure to produce a "strategic offensive advantage".

In 5 yrs, maybe the media guide won't list him at all. IT NEVER REALLY HAPPENED!

Is Ms. Lokelani a biker, a tri-athlete, or what? So you really have enough pictures to feature a different female athlete each day? Anything from Amanda Beard's spread (pun intended) in Playboy?
........ Priceless. Considering the overall level of acrimony toward Jabba the Weis, and some ND fans' inclination to defend everything associated with their school and its football program, even indefensible crap like this, we may see this thread may accumulate a billion or so posts.

Seems like they only spotlighted it by it's conspicuous omission. If you're so fat your butt crack extends to the front of your pants, it is ridiculous to be put in charge of a group of young men where health and physical fitness is the foundation of the whole program.

Notre Dame rewriting history? No you don't say?
Anyway, Notre Dame fans and college football fans know that team went 3-9 so not putting it in the guide is foolish to say the least.

80? Think it will stop at 80?
1. It takes a village to eat a child. It takes a Jabba eat us into extinction.
2. Jabba's belt is made from blue whale skin. The only animal large enough to produce a single piece of hide 294' long.
3. During an MRI for Jabba's botched stomach stapling, authorities discovered the remains of Jimmy Hoffa.
