Thursday afternoon, the University of Kansas announced the hiring of Charlie Weis as the school’s new head football coach. This decision left many observers and fans scratching their heads.
Weis was only 16-21 in his last three years as head coach at Notre Dame, before being dismissed.
Last season, the former Patriots and Chiefs offensive coordinator served as offensive coordinator at Florida. The Gators finished 102nd nationally in total offense.
Amid ongoing health issues, the Kansas job is Weis’ fourth gig in the last four years.
When told of the Weis hiring, none other than coaching legend Bobby Bowden chimed in with a rather negative take on KU’s choice:
"You got to be kidding me. He’s going to be the head coach?"
