"Arrogant as hell..."

I found this little tidbit over on SI.com..

The guy who once boasted he "could get hoodlums and thugs and win tomorrow" strolled into Jeannette High School in the spring of 2007 to recruit superstar quarterback Terrelle Pryor. Jeannette coach Ray Reitz knew a bit about Charlie Weis and his reputation. Still, he was stunned by what he describes as a level of conceit he never had seen from the dozens of college coaches he had visited with over the years. Weis certainly made a lasting impression. "Arrogant as hell," Reitz said.

When Reitz told Weis that Pryor might attend a USC quarterbacks camp, he remembers Weis replying: "Why send him there? If he's with me for one day he'll be good, two days he'll be great and three days he'll be incredible." Later, unprompted, Weis asked the Jeannette coaches if they wanted to take a picture of his Super Bowl ring. "I did it, just to be polite, and then gave [the picture] to one of the kids," Reitz recalled. Everyone who comes into contact with Weis, it seems, has a story -- and they're rarely complimentary.

Unbelievable...

But then again is anyone really surprised?

No.

But then no-one noticed the little tag on his shirt when he signed the contract – past performance does not guarantee future results. Still, if ND gives him another couple of years, he might well get results to justify the attitude.

I guess we’ll all just have to wait and see.
