Charlie Weis (ex-Kansas HC, ex-Fla OC, Notre Dame legend, UnDecided Schematic Advantage)

An interesting piece about Bill Belichick's brief tenure as head coach of the NY Jets and the events leading up to his resignation and eventual "trade" to the NE Patriots. It also includes some insights into what a piece of absolute pond scum Charlie Weis is.

i loved parcells quote about weiss

"Parcells says, “I’ve told many coaches that friendship and loyalty is going to be more important than ambition. Some guys don’t realize that until after they’re done. I don’t bear any animosity toward Charlie. I can say that with a straight face because I know what he is. When somebody shows me what he is, I usually believe it. His actions back then don’t bother me anymore.”

A HUGE loss if true. He brought more to the table than almost any other coach out there. Who can forget his innovative methods, e.g:


Weis: "I can tell you guys aren't used to winning. (Pause) Hey. Hey, fellas. OK. Winning a football game is not supposed to be an uncommon occurrence. I know that's a novel concept around here.

"OK. When you win a football game, there's supposed to be a celebration that looks like a celebration. And that was a pile of crap.

"I believe in practicing everything, including winning. That's what this is all about.

"This isn't about you guys jacking around over here.

"This is about, third game of the season, you're sitting here 2-0. You're playing TCU, you haven't won a conference game in about eight years. (bells) … and you hit a field goal to win the game. Act that way!

Certainly not surprising that he's given up on being a Head Coach, he certainly wasn't very good in that regard. Somewhat surprised he's given up on being a coordinator though. He certainly had a good run as Bellicheat's OC, and he helped turn the Chiefs from a 4 win team to a playoff team in 2010.

Does anyone else think it's funny the only reason Weis had success at New England in the first place is likely because they were stealing defensive signals during his entire tenure? I'm fairly certain they didn't just start doing that right before they got caught, after all. I think his post New England results make that a more than plausible explanation for the initial perception of his offensive genius/decided schematic advantage.
