Carroll on Weis' Allegation: 'Untrue' and 'Irresponsible'

USC's Pete Carroll said an allegation made by former Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis is "untrue" and "irresponsible."

Weis held an exit interview Saturday with five reporters and threw a zinger in Carroll's direction. He was asked, "Is it frustrating to you Pete Carroll, for example, portrayed in one way..."

Weis responded: "Let me ask you this question: You guys know about things that go on in different places. Was I living with a grad student in Malibu, or was I living with my wife in my house? You could bet that if I were living with a grad student here in South Bend, it would be national news.

"He's doing it in Malibu and it's not national news. What's the difference? I don't understand. Why is it okay for one guy to do things like that, but for me, I'm scrutinized when I swear. I'm sorry for swearing; absolve my sins."

Carroll, who is married, responded late Saturday night.

"It's untrue, it's irresponsible and it's incredible he'd be talking about me like that," he said.

Wow, not only a failure as a head coach but he takes his exit in about the scummiest way possible. I can only imagine what this guy used to say about other coaches and programs in recruits' living rooms. Stay classy Notre Dame.
