Seems Weist arrival shakes some thinking up (and last month's Don Brown leaving).
Recruiting-wise, I believe Weist & Bugg gave a little juice to our last few weeks effort; and it paid off nicely. Perkins always seems to find a nugget. Foley has been great over time (mostly in MA & NH; but now he is tied to Chasz Wright). GDL seems to have great cred with the NE coaches. Wholley. Cersosimo. Younger and stable. Speaking Recuiting -we really have never heard anything about Day.
So ... as you look across the positional landscape ... Cersosimo out of the WR slot pleases me. Weist has a solid track record, imo, on developing a core at Cincinnati. Bugg? Be nice to see the RBs like we had under Richardson whereby you would see one after another show solid ability & development. Wholley, who was a question mark when he took the LB role, seems to have had a solid time with our LBs. (how much was that the assistance of long beards Hughes & Don Brown next to him). I'm still ticked that Foley has the "Tight End" title instead of the OL where he earned his pay. I suspect he is still integral to the development on the Offensive side (and frankly, I am just glad he is still on the staff). Development of our DBs has been solid for the last year of the Edsall regime to today.
I think we need a good DE (maybe DL) coach who has good Florida relationships. Bugg seems to bring the important Tidewater & PA relations. Weist has Ohio & Michigan roots. We have reinforced our strong PA marketing. (a little less in Jersey frankly) We really have not replaced the type of finds we got from Terry Richardson. And, I think Hank Hughes could use a guy to assist him; maybe with OLB responsibility too.
