Robert Weiner
University of Toledo
QB Coach/Co-Offensive Coordinator

Robert Weiner is in his fourth season as the Rockets’ co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. 

Over the past two seasons, Weiner helped guide Dequan Finn into becoming one of the most dynamic quarterbacks in the Mid-American Conference. Finn took over as Toledo’s starting signal-caller midway through the 2021 season and established himself as a effective threat in the air and on the ground, earning second-team All-MAC honors in 2022. Finn went on to lead Toledo to a 17-7 victory in the MAC Championship Game, earning Offensive MVP honors. He also led UT to a 21-19 victory over Liberty in the Roofclaim.com Boca Raton Bowl and was named Offensive MVP of that contest as well.

Finn completed a career-best 59.7 percent of his passes in 2022, throwing for 2,660 yards and 23 touchdowns. He ranked second in the MAC in passing touchdowns (23), third in passing efficiency (136.5), third in yards per pass attempt (7.17), and fourth in completion percentage (59.7%). On the ground, Finn set a single-season UT quarterback record with 631 rushing yards and tied his own single-season record for most rushing TDs by a QB with nine. Both numbers ranked first in the MAC among quarterbacks. Finn became the first Toledo quarterback to account for seven touchdowns in a game, tying a school record with six passing TDs and rushing for one in a comeback win vs. Kent State. 

In 2021, Finn completed 57.6 percent of his passes and threw for 2,071 yards and 18 touchdowns with only two interceptions to rank fourth in the MAC in passing efficiency (149.3). Against Eastern Michigan, Finn completed 30-of-45 passes for a career-high 461 yards and three touchdowns. The 461-yard total ranks tied for second on Toledo’s all-time list. Finn also ran for 505 yards and nine TDs.

In 2020, Weiner mentored a pair of quarterbacks—Eli Peters and Carter Bradley—who showed tremendous improvement from their previous seasons. Peters completed 68.2 percent of his passes, nearly a 10-point jump from 2019. He had games of 339 yards passing (Western Michigan) and four touchdown passes (Bowling Green). 

Bradley stepped in when Peters went down with an injury, and finished third in the MAC in passing efficiency. He threw for a career-high 432 yards and three TDs in a win over Northern Illinois. The 432-yard total was the seventh-most in Toledo history and the most by a MAC quarterback in 2020.

Weiner is also considered one of the top recruiters in the nation, ranking as the No. 4 recruiter in the Mid-American Conference for the Class of 2022 by 247 Sports.

Weiner came to Toledo after 16 seasons as the head coach at Plant High School in Tampa, Fla. where he won four state championships, had two runner-up finishes, and earned 14 consecutive district titles (2005-2018). Weiner and former Rocket quarterback Phillip Ely teamed up to win two of those state titles in 2008 and 2009. Plant also won state championships in 2006 and 2011.
