Yes, but this one is better:

Charlie Weis isn't capable of simply being toast. He is, however, capable of being Texas toast covered with a bowl of gravy beside a half dozen eggs, a slab of bacon, a pan of cat head biscuits, and a quart of whole milk.

Some guy, over on Fox Sports, throws out this list of possible replacements:

Some candidates I expect to get consideration: Texas A&M WR coach David Beaty, a former KU assistant who is a top recruiter in Texas; Clemson defensive coordinator Brent Venables, a Kansas native, although he did play at rival K-State; former USC interim head coach Ed Orgeron; Nebraska offensive coordinator Tim Beck; and another former KU assistant Ed Warriner, now the O-line coach at Ohio State.
There, the crux of the article, and you are spared from giving them more views. You're welcome.

Go Coach O! The anti-Weis.

Some guys are head coach's and some are assistant coach's, Weiss is an assistant. Look for him to head back to the NFL bc college football never worked for him.

I don't disagree with the decision, but the timing is strange. Why now? Do they know anything more today than the did at the end of last season?

Absent misconduct of some sort, I just don't think it's good to fire a coach during the season.

Toward the end of the year, you might announce that he won't be retained -- as we did with DuBose. It changes the public discussion, gives the AD time to vet candidates, and is merciful on the assistants, giving them more time to market themselves.

But booting him out four games into the season seems to me to do more harm than good.

Throwing my hat in the ring, will move to Lawrence, and only need a three year , 3 million contract. Cheap. Can't do worse than zero points . Think they will post the job on craigslist?

Oh, and I will never tell my team we will have a 'decided schematic advantage'
If you need an OC, I will do it 500k/year :)

I agree - something else had to have happened other than the losses on the field.
