He brought an even better crew (players) aboard the ship (program) and still crashed the fucking ship into an iceberg.
This doesn't debunk what I said, it emphasizes it. Maybe you should go back and rewatch because Weis football was SHIT and it was only getting worse year to year. Start your viewing pleasure with November 29th 2008 @ USC and watch how with all those "Top 50 prospects" the offensive guru could not find a way to pick a single first down for the first 3 Quarters of the game.
The whole reason Kelly was given some slack when he first took over is because it was known he was inheriting a dumpster fire.
Weis came in with his fat playbook and thought that was all he needed. I'll give him credit for putting in work at recruiting unlike ty, but his results were stunted because the product on the field was hot garbage. Tell me what Weis did to advance our program as a whole...??? I'll wait..
I can't stand Kelly as a coach, but HE did a shit ton to rebuild and progress our overall program.
If Weis had I would credit him too, but he didn't.
Serious question and I'm not even trying to be a dick here...How old were you when Weis was here? Because I think if your current football maturity self could go back and go through the Weis years and watch him squander all that talent you'd feel very differently.

That his HC record the last 6 years he attempted to steer a ship. He is not what you seem to think.
