November 9, 200916 yr Author I think Weis would be better off going back to the league as an OC. Me too, I'd ike to see him succeed again, I like him.
November 9, 200916 yr Author Best offensive mind of the modern era and Brady is a top 3 QB of all time? C'Mon man... Which part do you not agree with?
November 9, 200916 yr Which part do you not agree with? I'm having a little trouble with both. While I do think that both are way up on the list there is no way I could definitively make either one of those statements. That's just me though, it's all opinion.
November 9, 200916 yr Best offensive mind of the modern era and Brady is a top 3 QB of all time? C'Mon man... I believe it was Tom Brady, and not Brady Quinn. You can make a good argument for Tom, NFL wise.

That's the beauty of a message board, I think it's a pretty darn impressive feat to win three Super Bowls with the offensive talent Brady and Weis both had to work with.
November 9, 200916 yr I think Weis is a pretty good coach. I don't know how much credit he deserves for Brady's development, but he does deserve some. However, that doesn't factor in when judging him as the head coach of the Fighting Irish. I think Weis is in a tough situation. Notre Dame expects him to compete with USC and Florida without leveling the playing field, i.e., admission requirements. I'm aware that some people don't view that as a legitimate excuse. Regardless, it doesn't change the fact. From an article written about a year ago... The Trojans are allowed to recruit just about anyone, and that, combined with a talent-rich backyard and charismatic coaching staff, allows USC to stockpile quality players. Texas, Oklahoma and Florida enjoy similar advantages, and though Ohio State and Penn State must face slightly tougher standards than the others, they still aren't as restricted as Notre Dame, which falls closer to Duke, Stanford and Vanderbilt on the athletic admissions continuum... Quarterback Tony Rice led Notre dame to a national title in 1988. Rice, who was admitted under Proposition 48, wouldn't be considered by Notre Dame today... Notre Dame's strongest selling point is the education it provides. But Duke, Northwestern, Stanford and Vanderbilt offer an equally prestigious or more prestigious education, and they're chasing the same players. To truly have a chance to win 10 games a year on a consistent basis, Notre Dame would have to sign 25 of the best 50 players every year from the pool of those capable of meeting admission standards. But it won't have to fight only the pocket-protector crowd for those players. Michigan, Virginia, Cal, Missouri and all the rest want smart players, too. They make for great PR, and their intelligence usually makes them coachable. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/andy_staples/11/25/notre.dame/1.html

November 9, 200916 yr That's the beauty of a message board, I think it's a pretty darn impressive feat to win three Super Bowls with the offensive talent Brady and Weis both had to work with. I felt like Weis was a masterful play caller when he was the OC in New England. He does a great job mixing run and pass. I thought he did a great job at ND early on when they could run the ball better...for whatever reason, their running game is non-existent in 2009, so its pretty much all pass right now. Still, I think he's one of the best play callers I've seen.
November 9, 200916 yr Author Let's remember they had a great defense during that run too. But Brady had to lead them down the field three times in the fourth quarter to either get Vinitieri into FG range or got the touchdown.
