LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Uproar over Weis'late-gallle decisions

Weis made right call Athletes owe students loyalty too In response to Chris Malherek's "Football, not fans, a disgrace" I am writing with regards to the Navy football game this past Saturday. Of course, it (Nov. 1) I can only say I partially agree. However, we cannot place was a tough loss and I am sure our team was discouraged and tired after the game. the full weight of this season's struggles on the team or oven Charlie But after we students stood and cheered for over four hours and through three over­ Weis. We simply do not have experience. We start double the times, I think we deserved to have the team raise their helmets to us as they have in amount of freshman and sophomore players as our opponents.

I just really want them to give us that one gesture of thanks. We are Regarding the Navy game, many Notre Dame fans were upset by loyal to them; I wish they showed their loyalty to us. So after the last few games of Weis' decision to pass the ball on fourth-and-7 late in the fourth the season, I really and truly hope that the team revives this tradition. quarter when the game was tied. A field goal would have put us up The other instance of loyalty I wish to address is to Coach Weis. I know that many by 3. Why not kick it? Simple: We do not have a kicker that can kick students and fans disagreed with his decisions during the game, but that is absolutely a 41-yard field goal into the wind during practice, so why now? no excuse whatsoever for the students to boo when the band played the 1812 Brandon Walker's longest warmup at that side of the field was 37 Overture after the game. He is still our coach, no matter what. We still owe him yards. Our chances are better when we go for it than when we try respect, if not admiration. Loving Notre Dame football means being loyal when times to kick. are bad so that you deserve to be called a Notre Dame fan when times are good.

9-3 isn't good enough? Time for Charlie to go After the season two years ago, Coach Weis proudly announced to members of the After yet the latest shameful coaching performance by "genius" Notre Dame community that his 9-3 record wasn't good enough. Well, how about 3-9? Charlie Weis, it's clear that it's time for him to leave. This isn't That's about as good as this season could turn out. (just) about losing; this isn't (just) about five straight home losses There have been all sorts of excuses tossed around for our misfortune this. season, and being on pace for one of the worst records in school history; and until this weekend, many of them seemed to be fair. Not anymore. Everyone likes this isn't (just) about his losing the 43-game winning streak to put the blame on Ty Willingham for our suppressed talent, but getting beaten by against Navy. Navy has nothing to do with talent. We refuse to believe that they are a more talented It's about how unprepared the team looks every week. Navy's team than us. The problem, it seems, is coaching. Many of the calls on Saturday were offense runs the triple option on every play - why did the defense simply awful. One of our personal favorites was the fake field goal attempt. Here's a look confused throughout the first half? Even beyond that, this is great idea: Let's try to run the not-so-quick Evan Sharpley for 15 yards behind the lead about the puzzling and stupid playcalling decisions Weis makes block of a kicker. Brilliant. every game. Fourth-and-15 and up by seven? Fake field goal!

That's terrible decision mak­ attack? Let's pass the ball! Fourth-and-8 with less than a minute ing. Absolutely terrible. left in a tie game deep in the opponent's territory? Go for it!

The University needs to thank Charlie for his Coach Weis has been one of the first to admit that coaching has been the biggest prob­ service, and ask him to leave. If he refuses, I'm sure there are lem this year, but we're sick of hearing that. How about you earn your incredibly high enough enraged alumni to buy out his contract.
