According to the 2009 Notre Dame "Spring Prospectus", Weis never took part in a losing season:
"Notre Dame omitted the losing seasons from Weis’ year-by-year biography on page 15 of the 2009 Spring Prospectus and page 90 of the 2008 football media guide. Among the omissions is the Irish’s 3-9 2007 season."
This includes records in the NFL:
"Other records that are missing include the New England Patriots’ 5-11 season in 2000, the 6-10 year the Patriots had in 1995, the 5-11 year in 1993, a 6-10 campaign with the New York Giants in 1992 and two losing seasons at South Carolina: 5-6 in 1985 and 3-6-2 in 1986."
But they gladly give credit for any winning season:
"However, any .500 or better season Weis helped out in, from the 8-4 Gator Bowl season at South Carolina in 1987 to the 10-2 Sugar Bowl year at Notre Dame in 2006, was included."
So more or less, he's never had a losing season, he only takes guys with character, and he's still the best coach in both college and professional football.
[Well, yeah. Obviously. Just ask him. - RUTS]

Screen shot of the thing
Not sure I really understand the point of putting records in on a completely random basis, but who am I to question authority and the faith we are are suppose to have in PR as the future of our information…

A freind of mine was a teacher at Morristown HS when CW was coach
She said everyone loved him and he comes back to visit every once in a while and they’re all so happy to see him.
Personally, I can’t stand the guy.
My question is this: If Penn State got a coach like CW (or even RR), would we all still be drinking the Blue&White Koolaid?

well, it depends on whether he wins or not, to be honest
but I’d definitely be less proud of the high class of the university if they come in and lessen the importance of academics, or don’t do anything positive for the community, etc.

MBA is about running a business
Profit, loss, marketing.
MLD is about leadership, communication, creating a vision, which can most certainly be applied in business but also applies to philanthopies, communities, mentoring relationships, football tailgates, etc.

Bowl Omits. . .
His records also omit Bowl Games, where he’s 1-2. Is this typical, or is it in an effort to pad an already overly impressive .580 win %?

Kim Jong-il’s official biography6 states that he was born in a secret military camp on Baekdu Mountain (백두산) in northern Korea on 16 February 1942.7 Official biographers claim that his birth at Baekdu Mountain was foretold by a swallow, and heralded by the appearance of a double rainbow over the mountain and a new star in the heavens.

do a quick search
of youtube for kim jong il. apparently, he coaches on the olympic team, designs their uniforms, etc. also note that “glorious leader” is rarely shot from the waist down. not due to his elvis-like moves, but because it makes him look shorter.

The Joe Paterno File:
Per the statistics & media company also used by Notre Dame.
-Joe Paterno is 57-2 in seasons with 5 wins or more since joining the PSU staff in 1950. This also marks his 59th season without back-to-back-to-back losing seasons.
-Last season’s Big Ten opener against Illinois marked the 16th consecutive time Joe Paterno coached a squad to a Big Ten victory in a season. Paterno has never not coached PSU to a Big Ten win in a season since joining the Big Ten in 1993.
-Joe Paterno became the first active Big Ten coach with multiple Rose Bowl invitations on January 1, 2009. All-time, Paterno leads all other Rose Bowl opposition in points scored 62-58 since 1995.

well it wasn't a tummy tuck
he got gastric bypass surgury, after which he supposedly almost died from loss of blood (for which he filed his malpractice suit). He lost weight, supposedly dropping down to 260, from his high of 350, but he has since gained back a significant portion of that and is now over 300 again.

While I would never wish for someone to die in surgery, now I must joke about his GB
How do you gain back weight after gastric bypass? It’s supposed to limit your food intake since your stomach is the size of an apple. You’d have to have an IV constantly pumping raw lard into your gullet 24/7.

Interesting note (of which I have no proof of, but am going to go ahead and assume)
This was before he blew out his knee, he prefers to not to move when “coaching” his practices. What the camera cuts off is that he’s actually watching his practice on a 60" plasma TV right in front of him, even though the practice is also right in front of him. They also cut out the bucket of KFC below the chair.

I don't know whether to be insulted or amused by the whole thing.
Do rich, famous (infamous) people think we’re all stupid when they put this propaganda out? Barry Bonds never took steroids? How in the $#@! did his head grow? A-Rod never juiced? Sadaam had weapons of mass destruction and ties to Al Quaeda, despite all sorts of information proving the opposite? I guess these powerful people think if you tell the same lies over and over again, that people will be stupid enough to believe it. No wonder this country’s in such a terrible mess. Charlie Weiss loses because he sucks; He wins because he cheats. $*^# Notre Lame.
