4) Weis overrated as a coach? Once again I am always cautious about calling a person with a limited track record a great coach. He has yet to have a signature win in his two years, and the last 4 blowouts are certainly cause for concern. Furthermore, an offensive genius shouldn't be held to 30 yards in a half of football no matter what defense he is facing. With that said, he is coaching a team with limited talent. This years senior class has talent(12th ranked recruiting class), but their is little talent/depth behind them. The junior class was rated 32th and the sophomore class was rated 40th in recruiting out of high school. Furthermore, the size of the junior and sophomore class is even more disturbing. Willingham brought in only 16 players in 2004(only 10 of which were 3 star recruits or better) and 15 players in 2005(only 13 of which were 3 star recruits or better). It is rare for a team to have fewer than 20 recruits in a given year(25 recruits is about average), but to have fewer than 20 in back to back years is almost unheard of. The point being that Weis doesn't have that much talent or depth to work with, and all things considered, he has done a solid job with the talent he has.
Weis' Achilles Heel, he doesn't know jacks*** about defense and has to rely fully on a guy who's lone head coaching experience was getting fired at Cincinnati U.
His D coordinator should be fired yesterday for the last two season's of mediocrity.
