When he hired him in December of 2011, Kansas University athletic director Sheahon Zenger called newly named Kansas University football coach Charlie Weis “the right coach at the right time to help Kansas raise the bar and compete in the Big 12.”

Sunday morning, Zenger admitted he was wrong.

The Journal-World has learned that Weis has been dismissed as KU's head coach just 28 games into his tenure. KU confirmed the news that was first reported by the Journal-World in a news release shortly after 9 a.m.

Not really surprised, they should have done this at the end of last season.

For that matter, they should have never hired him.

Perfect example of a coach that should have never been promoted above that of OC. Some guys are head coach's and most others should stay an assistant. Weiss fits the latter.

You guys remember when the Manti story was all over the news and several commented that Notre Dame should have vetted the story before putting him, and the story, on the front page of every web site on the 'net? In a nutshell, Notre Dame got excited and jumped the gun, right?

If you think about Weis, it's the same story; ND getting excited and jumping the gun.

"...decided schematic advantage..." - Weis, 2005

If you don't recall, Weis hadn't even finished his first year at Notre Dame and they signed him to an extension through 2015. This season he made 2.5 million from Kansas, 2.1 from Notre Dame.

ESPN's Mike and Mike made a comment earlier today that he's made around 65 million since he was originally hired in 2005.

He has a great agent.

I remember reading about his contract and thought it was odd that his wife and daughter weren't moving to Kansas but got to use the plane to flight back to their home in Florida. If I were an AD, I'd be hard pressed to sign a HC who's wife and daughter weren't going to relocate to town to be apart of the culture... He was also guaranteed $12.5m
