OT: Charlie Weis to be OC for Florida
Grinch
Charlie Weis has accepted an offer to become the offensive coordinator
at Florida, according to a story by The Associated Press. An
announcement is expected Monday.
The hiring of Weis, a former offensive coordinator with the New
England Patriots and currently with the Kansas City Chiefs, fills the
desire of new Gators coach Will Muschamp to install a pro-style
offense next season...

The colleges bid another top name away from the pros.
Ah, "amateur" sports!

college coaches outpace used car salesmen and politicians as the sleaxiest
people in America.
but a lot of that is caused by the colleges. run a squeacky clean program
and lose and you're gone.
cheat like hell and you're fired if caught but rehired by someone else right
away.
a classic example is John Calipari.

1. Weis likes the college hours.
2. He doesn't like answering to a guy who knows less and thinks he is
an OC.
3. Haley didn't like having a more knowledgeable coach around.

Some theories:
1. Weis likes the college hours.
Yes to this...he likes the college atmosphere too. He is a guy who went
from high school to NY Giants in no time at all, he is from around here.
2. He doesn't like answering to a guy who knows less and thinks he is
an OC.
I wouldn't bet on this one...they know each other well...and are friends on
and off the field, long history.
3. Haley didn't like having a more knowledgeable coach around.
Weiss wants to be a colleg HC again I'll bet...and he likes the younger
players and developing them.

#1 is most likely & he may wish to be HC again but he has seen the pro
life and the hours it entails & the shorter easier time commitment of
college football. If someone is going to pay you great money in a
great program, why not? We should ask Spurrier what he thinks?
:)
Some of those college coaches do put in outrageous hours...and do a LOT of
recruiting, the image factor is harder to deal with :-) Look at how they
can behave in the NFL etc. But....it is a much nicer atmosphere. I would
imagine he has some health concerns too and college will be nicer to him.
I'd rather live in Florida than KC too...except for the food...then I'll
take KC. I do like that BBQ. Oh...and the music. :-)
As for #2 & #3, #2 is certainly a possibility if Haley was very
involved in the offense, but is entirely speculation on my part.
