One of the big stories coming into fall practice is who will succeed Brady Quinn at quarterback for the Fighting Irish. Going into spring there were four players all looking to stake claim at that spotlight job: Evan Sharpley, Demetrius Jones, Zach Frazer, and Jimmy Clausen. In a statement released by head coach Charlie Weis yesterday, Frazer found out that he was no longer in the running for the quarterback job.

Weis said that he will trim the list to two by the end of the week. I’m not so sure this is a good tatic by Weis. What happened to the old days where he fed the players information through them, and not the media? He is treating this like he is a recruiting choosing a school, cutting his list down then making a decision. I’m not bashing his choice of not starting Zach, but I think he could handled this a little better. Frazer is not happy at all by the situation and is hinting towards transferring.
