Title: Charlie Weis is the worst coach to ever don a headset.
Category: don't know
Blog Entry: Charlie Weis, oh how ye have failed.  Is it possible for Notre Dame to be any more pathetic?  The stat king is going to give you faithful readers some Notre Dame knowledge.  Try not to throw up. The Fighting Irish are a dismal 1-7 so far this season, and they've lost 9 out of their last 10.  Those 9 losses have come by an average of 24 points.  I know what you might say a this point, but they have suffered an incredibly low amount of injuries so far, so count that out.  Meanwhile, three of their opponents this season had to play Notre Dame with their backup quarterbacks, and 2 of those teams, USC and Michigan, still managed to beat ND by more points than either has beat any of their opponents this year. Let's talk about their only win this year, and maybe there'll be some light at the end of the tunnel.  Nope.  UCLA started their third-string walk-on quarterback, and Notre Dame only managed to win that game due to seven UCLA turnovers,  5 of those coming from the walk-on.  The Irish only managed 140 total offensive yards that game. I figure you get the point by now, so I should stop.  But I won't. Let's break down just how bad the Fighting Irish really are.  There are 119 Division 1-A football teams in the NCAA.  Notre Dame is 119th in total offense, 119th in rushing yards (currently 34 per game ), 112th in passing offense, and 118th in scoring.  Chew on this: if Notre Dame doubled their rushing yards per game, they would barely edge out Duke for 118th place, and if they doubled their scoring output, they'd still be 108th. The NCAA statistical archive only goes back to 1999.  During that period, the lowest yards per carry comes by way of a pitiful 2001 Arizona State team that recorded 1.46 yards per carry.  Notre Dame is averaging 1.09 yards per carry.  What does that mean?  The worst rushing offense in the last 9 years was still about 1/3 better than Notre Dame. Don't fret though, Notre Dame fans.  You'll still have your undeserved Top Ten preseason ranking next year.
