One of the reasons so many people dislike Charlie Weis and wanted him fired had as much to do with his crass personality than his average head coaching skills.
Here is another example of Weis’ lack of class. While doing a final interview with IrishIllustrated.com he was asked a somewhat leading question about USC Head Coach Pert Carroll and here was his answer:
Q: Is it frustrating to you Pete Carroll, for example, portrayed in one way…
CW: Let me ask you this question: You guys know about things that go on in different places. Was I living with a grad student in Malibu, or was I living with my wife in my house? You could bet that if I were living with a grad student here in South Bend, it would be national news. He’s doing it in Malibu and it’s not national news. What’s the difference? I don’t understand. Why is it okay for one guy to do things like that, but for me, I’m scrutinized when I swear. I’m sorry for swearing; absolve my sins.
I was totally speechless when I saw this answer.
I have no clue what Peter Carroll is doing in Malibu, so I am not saying Weis is lying (i am inclined to believe him actually), but if you are going to say something like you better have a proof.
You better have a voicemail or something:
The thing about Weis is for whatever the reason his social skills are seriously lacking. There are people who tell me if I met him he is nice guy, but publicly he appears to be an ass. Maybe it is arrogance, maybe it is ignorance but whatever it is, it needs to be corrected.
Pete Carroll has nothing to do with Weis getting fired (besides beating him every year) and there was no reason for Weis to make that comment.
Even if the comment was true what is the point? If Carroll is Breaking Lamps with a graduate student that is his business not yours. Notre Dame is suppose to be an institution of high esteem, but this is about as low brow as you can get.
Once again unless you are ready for someone to go through your closet stay out of other people’s closet.
Even Shaq is like:
