For the first four years of Tom Brady's career, he worked with Charlie Weis as his offensive coordinator. He passed for 13,919 yards in the regular season, completed 61.6 percent of his passes, and won three Super Bowls.

With Weis available again his tenure with Notre Dame came to a crashing halt this week, would Brady like to bring Weis back to New England?

"Charlie and I always keep in touch," Brady said. "He’s always been a great friend of mine. We have a great relationship. It’s very disappointing for, I know, him. His heart and soul was with Notre Dame. Players obviously liked Charlie. We all really enjoyed being with Charlie. None of those decisions are up to me. He’s a great guy and a great coach. Any team would be lucky to have him."

At the end of the 2007 perfect regular season, Weis was around the Patriots at the very end of the year, coming to the season finale against the Giants. Yesterday, coach Bill Belichick expressed disappointment for Weis but said any dealings with him were "not on the front burner."
