He would at times try to to inspire us with encouragement. Cheers of “Come on boys” were a constant. Never was much of a Coach, but the man, the person, and the coach was loved by all of us players and he showed that friendliness and love in return. His passion for the love of football, whether be his Auburn Tigers(which he constantly trash talked to the Bama fans on our team in a humourous dad-like fashion) or his passion to see the Northview Cheifs succeed, made the hard days of practice more tolerable.

He was a father figure, to me and many of my teammates. Loved by us who even joked at him, which he was quick to join in. Humble, passionate, Mr. Weaver embodied a certian characteristic in which all should try to reach. For every amazing player we see in college, or professional, there are thousands who aren’t as talented, or as recognized, but can find characteristics in Mr. Weavers legacy in which if practiced, can become loving husbands, courageous dads, and passionate in anything we find worthwhile.

Many are better men because of the actions of this one assistant coach who cared. We can name the field after any successful coach who wins any infinite number of championships, but without men like Mr. Weaver, men whole really shaped lives through his encouragment, optimism, actually caring for the player, and willingness to be a part of something the he was truelly passionate about, the field will just be a memory of a few wins, rather than being a symbol of everything great about one man who has inspired so many.

You should name the field after him. I would even recommend having a statue built in his honor the entering area, He represents what all men/women should be, and that is what he was is what every student/athete should look up to.
