SOUTH BEND, Ind. - Charlie Weis tried to set the example for his Notre Dame players Tuesday by refusing to talk about his future or any other distractions at his weekly news conference, focusing instead on Stanford.

The coach said he answered all the big-picture questions Sunday. That's when he said he couldn't argue if Notre Dame officials decided to fire him with a 6-5 record.

Overall, Weis has a 35-26 record in five seasons at his alma mater. Athletic director Jack Swarbrick has said he will decide Weis' future after the game on Saturday.

Weis likely will head into the regular-season finale without tailback Armando Allen Allen Jr., who leads the Irish with 733 yards rushing. Allen cracked a bone in his right hand in the second half against Connecticut.
