Nothing officially has been released by Notre Dame, but the NYDN is reporting that a close source tied to Notre Dame gave them the info. ND athletic director Jack Swarbrick has publicly said he will make a decision on Weis' future within the next few days.
In the meantime, Notre Dame players have scheduled a mid-afternoon players meeting for Monday while awaiting official word on Weis. The meeting will include a vote on whether the players want to play in a bowl game after a 6-6 season. Any bowl invite at this point will be a disappointment for a team that started the season with high expectations.
News of Weis' departure isn't exactly shocking. He has continued to recruit well, but the product on the field has not matched the talent that has been brought in. That lack of player development is what ultimately cost the big man the job as the head guy at Notre Dame. Weis has said that he has been contacted by six NFL teams about offensive coordinator jobs, but the truthfulness remains suspect since there is still five weeks remaining in the season. Nonetheless, it is realistic to think that Weis will be a NFL offensive coordinator next season, but at this point it is too early to speculate as to where that may be.
