Former Notre Dame Head Coach Charlie Weis Trashed On Social Media Over Comments On Russia War

Former Notre Dame head coach Charlie Weis doesn’t often join in on the conversation on social media.

But while watching the Russian attacks on Ukraine during the week, the offensive guru couldn’t help but to weigh in. Weis took to Twitter on Friday to ask the socialists in America a rather ignorant question.

“I never tweet anything about politics, but today is an exception. As I watch Russia continue their invasion of Ukraine this morning, I ask if Americans that want socialism are watching? Do you want to be a part of something like this?” Weis wrote.

Socialism has nothing to do with this. The US already has socialist programs in Social Security and Medicare. Do you want them to go away? Ukraine has to do with authoritarianism and the Communist USSR. Spreading misinformation and lies does not help, Coach Weis.

Hey Charlie, while you're fearmongering about government wealth retribution, do you want to remind everyone how much state appropriations paid for you to coach football at Florida and Kansas public universities?

We last saw Charlie Weis when he was the Kansas head coach from 2012-14. He was Bill Belichick’s offensive coordinator in New England before leading Notre Dame from 2005-09.

Overall, Weis was 41-49 as a head coach in college football, finishing 1-2 in his mere three bowl appearances.

Now that Charlie Weis isn’t spending time coaching, it appears that he’s graduating to giving political takes that no one wants to hear on social media.
