Coach Charlie Weis didn't want to talk Tuesday about the two hottest topics around Notre Dame football this week.

He pretty much addressed his coaching future with the Irish on Sunday, when he said "6 and 5 isn't good enough," referring to his record this season. So he was done with the "state of the union" stuff, as he put it Tuesday.

"I have a news flash," he said. "We have a football game Saturday evening against Stanford, so let's see if we can't talk about that."

OK, fine. But that didn't stop someone from asking Weis to clarify the situation with quarterback Jimmy Clausen, who, according to various media reports, was punched in the face during an altercation outside a restaurant early Sunday morning.

Charlie Weis wouldn't blame Notre Dame for firing him. "If they decide to make a change, I'd have to say I'd have a tough time arguing with that. If they decide to make a change, I'd have a tough time arguing that because 6-5 is not good enough," the Fighting Irish coach said Sunday.

ND coach Weis doesn't want to talk big picture (AP)

Sun, 15 Nov 2009 17:10:27 PST

Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis is getting tired of answering big picture questions. It was evident from the answers he gave leading up to the game on Saturday at Pittsburgh, the answers he gave after the Fighting Irish fell 27-22 to the eighth-ranked Panthers and by the fact he canceled his scheduled Sunday night press conference.

In need of a big win, Charlie Weis and Notre Dame couldn't turn around a troublesome trend. Pitt keeps winning and winning like it hasn't done in 27 years, and now the Panthers are one more victory away from a really big bowl.

Jimmy Clausen thinks about the NFL draft when he needs motivation. It's not the draft this April the Notre Dame quarterback thinks about, though, or the 2011 draft following what would be his senior season. It's the 2004 draft. That's when he sat with his oldest brother, Casey, in their Westlake Village, Calif., home and watched for hours as the names of 17 quarterbacks were called by...
