Well, it looks like a decided schematic advantage isn't much of an advantage of all. Charlie Weis, the Super Bowl-winning offensive coordinator for the Kansas Jayhawks, has been fired from his second college head coaching gig.

Kansas sits at 2-2, but was outscored 64-3 in defeats to Duke and Texas. (The latter coming yesterday, 23-0.) 

Weis, who was paid more by Notre Dame in 2012 than Brian Kelly, is still due $5,625,000 from the Jayhawks.

How much of a damn did Charlie Weis give at Kansas (career record 6-22)? Not many. From FoxSports.com's Bruce Feldman (emphasis mine):

Charlie Weis will be the first head coach from a Power 5 conference to be fired this year. After going 1-17 in Big 12 play in his first two years atKansas, the 58-year-old comes into this season already on thin ice. Won't help that his team lost its top two running backs to season-ending injuries or that word is he's falling asleep in team meetings.

$26 million from Notre Dame and Kansas... to not coach there anymore. America is truly the land of hopes and dreams.
