IT’S OFFICIALLY A TIE BETWEEN WEIS AND WILLINGHAM: Your daily Charlie Weis-Ty Willingham comparison is brought to you by THE WIZARD OF ODDS, which spots some very scary statistics when it comes to the two coaches.

Excerpt: “Charlie Weis’ record through 33 games against Tyrone Willingham, the man he replaced (at Notre Dame). They each logged 20-13 records and were both 0-3 against USC.

“Then it gets really interesting. Record vs. Michigan: Willingham (2-1) and Weis (1-2). Point Differential vs. Michigan: Willingham (-28) and Weis (-57). Record vs. ranked opponents: Willingham (7-8) and Weis (4-8).“That’s really an unfair comparison, because Weis has been forced to play with most of his own players this past season. Once he takes over the Miami Dolphins later this season, we’re sure those numbers will change.
