Weis is a brilliant coordinator. I would love nothing more for him to be the OC in NY. Being a ND fan, I saw what he did with Claussen and it is commendable. I drool when I think of what he could do with Eli and all these nice new toys we have.
I wanted a LBer also. I bashed the Nicks pick til no end. Ask me now about it, and I'll tell you we made a SOLID pick in Nicks and I'm glad we got him. Some day he is going to be real special. You cant look hindsight at it...end of story.
