In my mind Weinke is absolutely a terrific coach for many, many reasons. But the biggest reason he's finding so much success here is that he fits with Brent. He's clearly someone Brent trusts and relies on and I'm positive it's not because he's a "yes man" because Brent doesn't seem like the kind of guy who wants or needs that around him. There are plenty of good QB coaches out in the world who are as good at coaching QBs as Weinke. Not all of them FIT Brent's vision and Brent's mindset for what GT needs.
The main reason I feel OK about the idea of losing coaches is because Brent seems to know exactly what he wants and needs on his staff. That doesn't mean he'll get it right every time but it does mean that if we miss on one he will not let that linger. He'll make a change and fix it. Weinke will be hard to replace when he moves on to bigger things, and I have no doubt he will do so sooner rather than later. I think Brent will have no shortage of qualified applicants because it seems clear he's all about giving those coaches the credit for all the good things and not standing in the way of them advancing their careers. BTW when I say I feel OK it doesn't mean I'm unconcerned or that I feel there will never be negative impact. I'm absolutely concerned about those things. I just feel good about Brent's method of replacing losses.
Also, he seems to get that guys need to be recruited to stay- not w stupid hype- but w genuine appreciation that is purposfully presented. Looking out for the troops.
