I agree with the part about Tenuta as he has done nothong to improve our defense that I can see.  It is like we almost always react instead of attack on defense.  And PLEASE do not tell me we don't have the athletes.  As for Weis in general I think he just doesn't get it.  ND was wrong for not so much hiring him but bringing in someone who has never been a head coach before.  I don't care who you are or who you coached under or how many S bowl rings you have there is too much to deal with as a head coach and my guess is that multiplies 5 fold at ND.  Aside from all of that the proof is that he is 3 and 16 against ranked teams...that just isn't getting it done.  Our schedule has softened (which I do not care for) so there is no reason not to be in the BCS bowl hunt.  As for the schedule give me a 8-4 team that plays Penn State, Miami, and a LSU instead of a 10-2 that plays UConn, Wash State and Navada.  Please go look at Lou's schedule during his first couple years.  As for a replacement please bring in someone who 1) has head coaching experience and not hust for a year or two 2) Has a little bit of excitement to his personality 3) and will do thiings the right way when it comes to academics and bringing in the right people.  I hope ND can realize we need a change.  5 years is long enough and he surely has had time to get his guys in there.  I think the brass at ND were hesitant to let hin go last year as they did not want to be percieved as a school with a rep for firing coaches to quickly.  No one now would blame them.
