A book I won't be reading

No Excuses: One Man's Incredible Rise Through the NFL to Head Coach of Notre Dame. The book is about Notre Dame head coach Charlie Weis and his rise to cult-like figure in Notre Dame without actually accomplishng anything of significance. Charlie Weis' record at Notre Dame is 17-4 which is good but not great. His best win came agianst a Michigan team in 2005 that finished 7-5 on the year. He also almost beat USC. You know who else almost beat USC in 2005? Oregon and Arizona State. He has lost to Michigan State once and required a miracle comeback to beat them a second time. Michigan State lost by 30 to Indiana this weekend. Anyways, Charlie Weis is doing a decent job of winning football games with talent that he didn't recruit and a defense that can't really stop anybody decent.

For more on why Charlie Weis deserves less praise see DJ Gallo and Stewart Mandel.
