According to coacheshotseat.com, Weis is now the #2 coach on the hot seat. Here is their write-up of his situation:
2. Charlie Weis - If anyone is still defending Charlie Weis and his performance in South Bend, then there are clearly some people that are on leave from a mental institutions in the general public or working in the media. Most housewives in America could have been gone to South Bend last Monday and coached up the talent on this Notre Dame team for a week, and come out with a win against woeful Navy. Alas, Charlie has now sunken below what American housewives could have done, and that leads us to the very obvious massive elephant that is sitting in the middle of the room in this debate on Weis. Why are Notre Dame fans not burning Weis' effigy, and calling for Weis' firing, when only 4 short years ago they were ready to throw Ty Willingham overboard for what is now a better record than Weis has put up? Why indeed, which brings us to how Notre Dame and their fans treat a black Protestant man from North Carolina one way, and how they treat a white Catholic from New Jersey in a different way. Notre Dame put down the marker that Willingham was not getting the job done, and Weis now has a worse record, which presents us with the very obvious double-standard that is the University of Notre Dame and their policies towards their employees. This in fact might not just be a coach hiring and firing issue, but something for the EEOC to take a look at, because it is now very obvious that the people in South Bend have two different sets of policies for different types of people. Coaches Hot Seat does not look at this situation with an agenda, because we are about as lily-white and establishment as you can get (okay, the boys at the Harvard Club in New York might be a little stuffier than us), but something just does not smell right in South Bend, and we think it requires our and the media's complete attention. Of course, there may be a perfectly good explanation why Weis is not on the chopping block, and a little birdie in South Bend tells us that in the contract that Weis signed in October 2005 that extended Weis at Notre Dame through the 2015 season, has no buyout on either side. Thus, if Notre Dame fired Charlie Weis this year they would owe him somewhere in the range of $30 million dollars. That is a check that not even Notre Dame can write, so in fact Notre Dame and Charlie Weis are married to each other, at least for the foreseeable future, and that fact brings up all kinds of questions as to the judgment of not only Kevin White but the President and trustees at Notre Dame as well. Yes, it is bad in South Bend, but much worse than that it is just plain sad.
