Dolphins safety Jevon Holland has high praise for Saints head coach candidate Anthony Weaver: ‘He’s the type of individual that needs to be in that position’
Miami Dolphins safety Jevon Holland discussed a wide variety of topics on the “Breakin’ House Rules” podcast hosted by NFL Network’s Cameron Wolfe, but his commentary on Anthony Weaver stood out. The Dolphins defensive coordinator New Orleans Saints fans is a finalist in the team’s head coaching search, and few know him better than his own star players.
Holland had exceptionally high praise for Weaver, and even went as far as to call him “galvanizing,” saying a move to head coach would bring the best out of him. He was asked what he would say to people who are asking how Weaver would be as a head coach.
“I think Weav’ would be a galvanizing individual as a head coach,” Holland began. “I think he has the presence, the attitude, and the mindset to lead men. I think that’s the biggest thing as a head coach is you have to be a leader of men, and I think Weav’ has that through and through. Because he’s a great defensive coordinator and I think he does a great job, but him standing in front of the whole room trying to bring everybody together and into one direction, I think that is like … He’s the type of individual that needs to be in that position, I think that’s where he’ll thrive the most. So, 100%, I hope he gets a head coaching job, because it will definitely be fun to see the culture that he’ll establish.”
This is a very positive review from one of the best young safeties in the game, who has had a chance to learn under Weaver and develop into a phenomenal player. Most players will give positive reviews one way or another, but saying your coach will thrive in a new position at head coach is something very few would be willing to commit to. It is a huge testament to Weaver’s coaching style and his ability to, as Holland puts it, lead men.
