Evening Sun - Charlie Weis has a plan for the University of Notre Dame football team and, according to Weis, it is only two-thirds complete.  Weis wants to assemble individuals who are good people first, studious people second and good football players third.  The first two Weis has accomplished. The last is the one he and the Fighting Irish faithful are waiting for. "I could get hoodlums and thugs and win tomorrow," Weis said. "I won't do it that way."

I hate to break it to Charlie Weis.  But it’s not that easy.  You can’t just snap your fingers and win with hoodlums and thugs.   Just look at BC.  I mean despite half their team getting arrested for rape and assault charges they have still never appeared in a BCS game.  My advice to Charlie Weis would be to stop making excuses and just start doing whatever has to be done to win games.   Buy players cars, recruit thugs, cheat, steal etc.  Just win baby. Because you can only makes excuses for so long.    Even Jerry Thornton is running out of patience.
