Overall, I'm OK with Weis coming back. His career has been well documented as a failure thus far, but I hate coaching searches and this program does not need another one. However, changes need to be made.
Here is the formula for what I think needs to happen in the next 9 months to get this program on track:
- Win a F****** Bowl Game - I don't care which one, just win and end the streak. This will make everyone feel a heck of a lot better about this program.
- Close out the recruiting class - Currently #8 on Rivals. Hold onto the stars (Wood, Shaq, Watt) and fill out with more depth on the lines.
- Fire Haywood, Latina & Powlus - The offense needed an overhaul last spring and better get one this time around.
- Hire a Real, Experienced Offensive Coordinator, O-Line Coach and QB Coach - Weis needs to cut the cord here and bring in an entirely new system on offense. Keep it in the pro-style model so it fits our talent, but bring in an experienced coordinator who will have complete autonomy over his own system, including play calling. Keep it simple and focus on running the ball and fundamentals. Don't know if it will happen, but this is the most important thing. Swarbrick needs to push this onto Charlie as a condition for keeping his job.
- Put Heat on Clausen in Bowl/ Spring Practice - I'm not saying open up a controversy, but Crist needs to start pushing Jimmy and Weis needs to yank him when he's not getting the job done. Clausen should have been given a seat at some point during the USC game for Sharpley. Clausen's regression since North Carolina has been one of the most disturbing trends of this season.
During the summer, I'll re-visit this list to see how we're doing.
