<p>I was reading the newspaper this morning, and i had to start a thread. Demetrius Jones, the highly recruited QB, who recently transfered after Charlie Weis yanked his starting job in less than a half, had nothing but amazing things to say about Weis. </p>
<p>"I'm going to root for those guys," Jones said. The only thing I regret is how I had to leave. Notre Dame let me go the best way they could, and that's pretty fair to me. One person Jones does not want to see bashed, however, is coach Charlie Weis. "he made an impact on my life, how to be a family man, lots of things," Jones said. When we talked this week, we had a healthy conversation. He was talking to me like a father, not just a coach. I admitted to him that if I'd come to him before the Michigan game, he would've talked me out of leaving. No matter what happens down the line, my career started at ND, and that was because of coach Weis. I was a soldier in "Charlie's Army," and enjoyed every minute of it."</p>
<p>That's coming from someone who may have got his entire career screwed because Weis only gave him about a quarter and half to prove himself after putting an entire year into the program. It can also be argued that Weis gave DJ the starting spot knowing the whole time he was going to yank him when Jimmy's arm was healthy--an even greater reason for DJ to hate him. Anyone can say he is arrogant and a terrible person, but those are all people who don't know him; look at what the people who spend time with him have to say--especially the people who have every reason to hate him with a passion.</p>
