That said, being a dick doesn't preclude recruiting kids, nor does it preclude winning football games. One parent's 'dick' is another parent's 'firm leader'. His approach is what it is and he's going to turn a lot of people off doing it. At the same time, there are going to be some folks that are drawn to it. Frank Martin, for instance, is a prick. I'm fairly certain I wouldn't ever want to have a beer with that guy. However, I'd absolutely send my kid to play basketball for him because Martin doesn't dick around with idiocy.

Better still, if he really really wants a kid and that kid isn't likely to respond to being a haughty d-bag, he can turn on the charm and appear to be 180 degrees from his reputation, thus making him an even stronger draw to that kid.

Granted, I still think this experiment will fail miserably for a handful of reasons I've already mentioned. But that isn't necessarily because Weis's somewhat prickly personality makes him doomed to failure.

Frank Martin isn't a dick at all. He's actually a pretty good dude.
