Maybe Weist should have been the guy

Weist coached in short sleeve shirts when it was really, really cold out and wet out. This point cannot be overlooked.

Coach Weist made an impact. He turned out to be a short term fix to a much needed long term solution. Whether it was an up-tempo, spread
and switching to CC or going out in shirt sleeves in cold as you enumerated above, he started an injection of much needed change in a time frame when not much time was granted. He had no time to make huge big changes. The time given was in microseconds...not years.
Seeing him in shirtsleeves when it was evident that a southern team in Memphis had quit, was inspiring to me as a fan. He did what he could do to salvage games, players, bridge recruiting and stimulate positive attitude.

IMO, the very small cultural, coaching and attitude changes allowed the team to move forward and not quit--- winning out at the end of last year. It certainly set the stage for the HCBD and the huge sweep and change he instituted. It also gave to a group of us in our fan section, a ray of hope....regardless of how he accomplished it (in shirtsleeves or not)..... Just my humble thoughts......

I wasn't joking.

I don't know if Weist WAS the guy, but I've got an idea of who might not have been!

Heads up, guys, sportsart should be along shortly to insult and demean you.

edit: ....oh........nvm

I find it hard to believe that a Weist and Shane led offense on lays scores 3 points on Tulane. The play call for the safety was absolutely stupid, less than level 100 football. This team is going to quit as will the fans.
