I really think that Mack Brown gets it this year. He's got an undefeated squad that is just pummelling teams this year.

Yea, but he's also got the best talent. Texas recruiting class has been ranked in like the top three every year he's been there. Theoretically they should have this kind of record every year (yes, I know that's not realistic). They're just finally living up to potential.

I like someone like Weis for this award.

With that said, of course if Texas beats USC this year, I'll gladly bear Mack Brown's children. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

last time I checked, recruiting is part of the coach's job.

True, but let's face it, he's got a headstart. I can't give someone Coach of the Year for being a good recruiter and fair coach otherwise.

The Alabama guy. To be this good so soon after probation and multiple coaching changes/controversies is awesome.

He has to be in the running.

As much as I love JoePa, I gotta go with Weis. He'll be a legend someday.

Didn't everyone say this about Willingham 3 years ago?

But Weis is white, so it's ok.

Weis will get it. But JoePa should.

The funny thing is if Leinart had fumbled inbounds everyone would be saying Weis. I am not trying to bring up and argument, I think JoePa should get it as well. It's just funny the way things go.

Weis did it in 1 offseason as a 1st year head coach. JoePa has been putting this team together for years (granted, the last freshman class is a big help). As previously stated, Weis has about the same roster as Willingham had at ND last year. He turned a non-productive offense that returned 10 of 11 starters in to a high powered scoring machine and will give many of these kids a chance to play at the next level. ND's top receiver hasn't even played more than a few 1/4s this year due to injury and the would be #2 & #3 receivers are among the tops in the NCAA. Brady Quinn went from a non-drafted bench warmer to a top Heisman candidate (next year) and 1st round draft pick.
I love JoePa and what he's doing at Penn St this year but if you're handing out that award before the bowls Weis wins hands down and JoePa is a distant but much respected 2nd.
