"Not only, however, was there a thought, there was an entire thought process, which Weis described in detail on Feb. 8, nine days after hiring Jon Tenuta as an assistant head coach in charge of the defense, a move that demoted former assistant head coach Bill Smith to the athletics community relations staff."
Demoted former assistant head coach Bill Smith? First of all, it's Bill Lewis, not Bill Smith. Second of all, he was the defensive backs coach, not "in charge of the defense." Third of all, he wasn't demoted… he retired from coaching in order to undergo double hip replacement surgery. And fourth… what's all this about Tenuta being in charge of the defense? He was hired as our new linebackers coach. Four glaring errors in one sentence. All of them would have been caught with even a cursory checking of facts.
"Although it didn’t go down in the smoothest way possible for Weis, which has been a theme of his tenure with the Fighting Irish, he appears to have landed a good coach in Tenuta, whose last job was as Georgia Tech’s defensive coordinator."
Apparently, "things" not "going down" in a "smooth" fashion has been a theme of Weis' tenure at Notre Dame. Like that time he heartlessly demoted assistant head coach Bill Smith, or that time he inexplicably replaced veteran quarterback Brady Jones with true freshman Harrison Ford in the 3rd period of that game against the New York Mets.
So in conclusion, ESPN's Blue Ribbon publication is pure, unadulterated garbage. Go buy Phil Steele's pre-season magazine instead.
