Irish fans everywhere may should be questioning their premature anointment of Charlie Weis as the savior of the program this morning, after the Parcells/Belichick protege just guided Notre Dame to its second-consecutive BCS ass-kicking, a savage beatdown coming at the hands of the LSU Tigers in the Sugar Bowl.

The Irish lost 41-14 on Wednesday night, giving up 577 yards of total offense. In postgame interviews, Weis took a large chunk of the blame for the performance:

I think the first thing that’s got to happen is that everyone is thinking the same way I’m thinking. They can’t be content to be 10-3 and going to a bowl game and getting your clocks cleaned. That’s my responsibility. It would be really easy for me to sit here and blame the players, but I would be at fault.

Now the big money question — when the New York Giants come calling (after firing Tom Coughlin following a 1st round playoff loss, as so many are predicting), do the Irish really fight to keep Weis and his massive contract?

We know Charlie’s a solid guy and one of the world’s biggest Bon Jovi fans*, but you’ve gotta wonder how stoked Irish fans are on him, now that his track record is starting to look more and more Davie/Willinghamesque.
