The actual debate was over which looked better on a resume, three Super Bowl rings(yes, Jim, as an assistant), or a national championship and a couple of division II titles.
If this truly is the crux of our argument, I will summarize my opinion as this:
If you're hiring for head coaching in college, Tress's resume looks better than Weis'. Jim has won at the college level and won titles at every level of college at which he has worked (with the exception of his couple of seasons as an assistant on Earl Bruce's Ohio State staff in the mid80s). There are examples of former NFL assistants and coaches who have not succeeded at the college game.
If you're hiring for NFL head coach, Weis' resume probably looks better. There are plenty of former college coaches who failed in the NFL.
