Chicago Tribune’s own Notre Dame beat writer, Brian Hamilton, doesn’t know much about the Notre Dame Football Program.
In covering the news about Tenuta joining the Irish, he said (and I urge you not to click on that link)…
What, exactly, does “assistant head coach/defense” mean — especially for Irish defensive coordinator Corwin Brown, whom Weis lauded at every turn in 2007? We’ll see. At minimum, it means that the defense’s performance in ’07 still wasn’t good enough in Weis’ eyes, however effusive his praise of Brown was. Given Tenuta’s credentials, consider the fire under Brown officially lit.
Moron.
Let’s see, “What, exactly, does ‘assistant head coach/defense’ mean?” Um, Brian, you’ve been the beat writer for Notre Dame for a full season. Did you not bother to notice that the guy Jon Tenuta is replacing, Bill Lewis, had the job title, “Assistant Head Coach/Defense?”
Here’s some visual proof in case they change his title by the time you check that link…
Dear Lord, if all of humanity knew as little about their jobs and researched as little as Brian apparently does, we’d all still be convinced that leeching is an excellent treatment for mental illness.
There is no fire lit under Corwin Brown. Charlie Weis saw a great opportunity and grabbed a great football coach while he was available. Why? Because Charlie Weis is good at his job. Brian Hamilton is not.

That’s a 3-ball from way outside for HLS! Nice work digging that up. I was wondering myself how Tenuta and Corwin would relate to one another. Of course, I don’t get paid to know these things, and I didn’t make an ass of myself in the Chicago Tribune.
Well said. You turned another poorly disguised attack into a belly laugh! Thanks.
Yeah, i hate share the same last name with that ass hat, if you reread other blogs and other reports, it is clear that Corwin and Charlie have been talking about who they want to replace Mr.Lewis, Corwin has been fully versed in all of this and have been looking at tenuta the entire time…. stupid people make me angry
Go Irish
Hamilton is a balls-to-the-wall idiot. Corwin took a porous defense last year that was, compared to the O’s it was facing, relatively weak in the talent dept. and turned in a solid performance last year. Not great, but solid being a Top 40 overall D. And GREAT against the pass – which no team since the Holtz era could claim. Charlie noticed that and applauded Brown’s direction, tact and talent. This hire is in no way a diss to Brown – no titles are changing anywhere in the program and it’s STILL Corwin’s D. It’s just now Corwin’s D with some serious freaking blitzing coming in your faces!
Brian (Northwestern)Hamilton. Add him to the Irish Illustrated’s staff full of self-serving tools.
