I think it was mainly hope turned into facts by many people.

The fans wanted to believe that there was someone who could make this rebuild much faster/better than what we have seen from other teams and Weisbrod didn't have the terrible record that a Feaster did (he had very little record actually.) Throw in the Boston connection that many seemed to ignore the facts on and attribute a lot of their success to him and it is easy to see how the Weisbrod myth kind of steamrolled into something a lot more than it ever appears he was.
