SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) -After his first season as Notre Dame coach, Charlie Weis hung a banner in the weight room that read: “9-3 is not good enough.”
Those words may prove prophetic.
That record is the best the Fighting Irish (6-3) can finish the regular season following their stunning 23-21 loss to Navy on Saturday.
The loss was reminiscent of last season when it seemed Weis had done just enough to get off the proverbial hot seat, before the Irish inexplicably blew a double-digit lead in a loss to Syracuse.
Until the Navy loss Saturday, the Irish were aiming for a Bowl Championship Series game.
A loss at No. 8 Pittsburgh would leave Weis with a 35-25 record, the same record that got Bob Davie fired in 2001.
