Charlie Weis wouldn't blame Notre Dame for firing him.
"If they decide to make a change, I'd have to say I'd have a tough time arguing with that. If they decide to make a change, I'd have a tough time arguing that because 6-5 is not good enough," the Fighting Irish coach said Sunday. "Especially when you've lost five games by a touchdown or less and several three-point games that went right down to the wire.
"My intent is to be here. But if that were the rationale, I mean it would be tough for me to argue with that point," he said.
Notre Dame lost its third straight game and fell to 6-5 on Saturday with a 33-30 loss in double overtime to Connecticut on senior day in South Bend.
Athletic director Jack Swarbrick said again Sunday, after Weis spoke, that he will decide on Weis' future after Saturday's game at Stanford.
Weis, who has a contract that runs through the 2015 season, said he couldn't envision any scenario where he would resign.
"No, that's not happening," the coach said.
