Bow out gracefully. Figure out the buyout and walk away. If Charlie goes to the mattresses and forces ND to fire him and makes some more ugly public comments, he'll tarnish whatever legacy that he has.<br /><br />I think the Faust comparison is a good one. If Weis walks away with class, he'll be welcomed back to ND for many years to come. And if the next coach does what Lou Holtz did and takes the program back to glory, we'll look back on Weis as the guy who laid the foundation for this program.Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749996801204575270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19884649.post-77462430443980260942009-11-23T20:50:25.414-06:002009-11-23T20:50:25.414-06:00A Charlie resignation would surely take a restruct...A Charlie resignation would surely take a restructured buyout into consideration.

There may be something in the contract to change that result, but, if not, then Charlie would be a damn fool to resign.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
