Bob Stoops, Kirk Ferentz on Notre Dame’s list?
As much as Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis wanted to make this game about his team, the 27-22 loss to No. 8 Pittsburgh will serve as more evidence for those who want Weis’ tenure as Irish coach to end. If athletic director Jack Swarbrick decides Weis’ Notre Dame career is over after his fifth season, a source said Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops and Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz will be in the mix to replace him. The source said Stoops has told confidants he would be interested in talking to the Irish. Weis wasn’t asked directly about his future after the game, but he said he was focused on his players. ”They just lost a tough game to a good team,” he said. ”Right now, I’m more worried about getting them out of the tank [mentally].” – Sun-Times
