Some years after the injustice was done to one Tyrone Willingham, both coaches are in equal deep waters. Don't be fooled by Notre Dame's 1-0 record. They scraped by a team in San Diego State who lost to Cali Poly the week prior (Cal Poly just lost to Montana for perspective on this). I watched in shock as I saw a Notre Dame team that frankly isn't very good. Willingham is now 0-2 in a season that he entered into with his job already in question. Of course I have two different feelings on the 2 coaches. With Weis there is almost a little bit of joy. Its not personal Charlie; its just that they fired a guy in an unprecended manner, hired you, then gave you a fat contract extension at a point when Willingham actually had a better or as good a record as you do and yet didn't receive the same support. And what have you done since then except lead a team that has looked inept, not very talented, and unprepared in a lot of cases. On a side note; anyone else think that all that hype Jimmy Clausen had has not manifested itself? He looks like a regular quarterback with a last name of some brothers who had some college success. Willingham on the other hand is also in trouble. As nice a guy as he is, he simply is not winning enough. I want him to win in the worst way but it simply has not come to pass. Each may yet turn their team's season around but after watching each on yesterday, these teams having a massive turn around looks very unlikely. Notre Dame couldn't dominate that terrible San Diego State team and although Washington played better against BYU (and got jobbed with that terrible unsportsmanlike penalty), they got blown out by Oregon the week before. Although both men will be forever linked because of the injustice of one and how the other benefited from that injustice, it looks like both are in a lot of trouble unless they can get their season turned around.
That was a bullsh*t call about Washington
