Charlie Weis is out as Notre Dame head football coach, a source close to the program told the Daily News.

AD Jack Swarbrick has decided to make a change after Weis finished the season with a 6-6 record and four straight losses to Navy, Pitt, Connecticut and Stanford.

Weis coached Notre Dame for five years and leaves with a 35-27 record. He has told friends in South Bend he has at least six offers from NFL teams to become their offensive coordinator.

The handwriting was on the wall last weekend when Weis refused to do halftime and postgame media interviews. He reportedly cleaned out his office Thursday before the team left for the West Coast. Weis is not the only one apparently leaving. Junior quarterback Jimmy Clausen was seen giving his football helmet to his familly following a 45-38 loss to Stanford in which he threw five touchdown passes, a strong indication he will declare for the NFL draft.

The players and coaches have been off limits to the media ever since they arrived back on campus but the team leadership committee was to meet Monday afternoon to vote on whether to accept a bowl bid if it is offered. It is unlikely Weis will coach the team in that game.

Wonder who ND hires. Isn't that place now considered a dead zone?

They've sucked recently, but ND still has all the tools to hire a competitive staff and the history and facilities to pull big time recruits. At least, from what I understand

I love it. People that smug deserve to be taken down a notch. I also doubt that he has offers from six NFL teams.

Gary Patterson, Brian Kelly, former pro coach(yes they have the money). Notre Dame is still Notre Dame, they just need the right coach.
