Re: College Football Coach of the Year Debate

Weis will get it. But JoePa should.

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.
