The inevitable is now reality in South Bend.
The most publicized and highly anticipated firing of Charlie Weis from America's most popular college football team is a fete accompli.
Weis was fired earlier today from the University of Notre Dame as its head football coach. Weis spent five tumultuous years with the Irish, culminated by a 6-6 season in 2009 with a group that some observers overrated as a team that could go 10-2.
When Weis arrived in South Bend in 2004, he was an automatic hero turning Brady Quinn into a potential NFL super star prospect. However, Quinn has gone on to have an horrific career with the Cleveland Browns, while Weis struggled to find a decent replacement over the past three seasons.
The Irish underachieved all season long as their defense failed to hold leads against Connecticut and Stanford at the end of the season that sealed Weis's fate. The Irish started 2009 at 6-2, but lost their last four games.
It is not known whom the replacement will be, but rumors are that Brian Kelly of Cincinnati could be coming in. Jon Gruden, the former Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach, was once rumored for the job years ago and could be a hot commodity again.
