This thread lasted longer than Weis' college coaching career.
I can remember Tidwell getting his start at coaching when he coached for Sam Hemphill on the Oilers that played out of L. J. Alleman. I used to play on the team back in the day. I can remember the coaching staff that Coach Hemphill had put together back then included 3 or 4 guys that had NFL experience as well as some young upstarts like Tidwell. You had to bust your _____ to earn a "Pride" sticker to put on your helmet. If you got one, you earned it because they didn't hand them out for just participating. In my opinion, Coach Hemphill was a great man who has a very positive influence on my life as well as many others who grew up in the late 1960's in Lafayette playing pee wee football. Sorry to get off thread but seeing Tidwell's name reminded me of Coach Hemphill.
After watching Florida implode tonight, make room for Will Munchamp. Injuries over the last two years just put that program in a death spiral, by Florida standards. Someone has to bear the brunt.
