John Walters of AOL Fanhouse spent time one-on-one with Charlie Weis on Sunday morning and got the Notre Dame coach to open up on some interesting topics.

Weis said he doesn't mind people criticizing his coaching, but that the personal attacks have damaged his family.

"The damage to Maura and Charlie Jr. is irreparable," says Weis, referring to the personal nature of the attacks he has been subject to for years now. "It's watching me get hammered. I'll never forgive the people who character-assassinated me without even knowing me. Those people did irreparable damage to my wife and son, and I'll never forgive them."

On Saturday, Maura Weis, for the first time since her husband was hired, opted not to attend a Notre Dame home game.

"They have the right to criticize the coach for being 6-5," says Weis. "They have that right. It's all the other stuff. You think I don't know that I'm fat? Duh!"

Weis was asked where his son would go to college if he is not the coach at Notre Dame next season. Weis said, "I know where he won't be going to college."

The story paints Weis as a workaholic who's in the office by 4:30 a.m. and often doesn't leave until 10 p.m. Should Notre Dame fire him, he'll likely be snatched up by an NFL team to be an offensive coordinator, which is what he did for the New England Patriots before coming to South Bend.

"I'm more respected there," Weis says [of the NFL]. "I'm more well-liked there."

And no matter what, he said he'll be coaching somewhere next year.

"I need to work," he says. "For me."

The whole thing is a good read, and I suggest you check it out.
