Do you think you know more than those two after a year watching him work? This is the dumbest performance on this board so far this year and that's already saying a lot. You've surpassed the people struggling to understand class limits. And part of what makes Belichick and Saban great is their willingness to take swift corrective action. They are performance and results driven. BoB, Valai, etc. did not produce the requisite results - bye!

Being great doesn't mean they're perfect, but it does mean when something or someone isn't working they're willing and able to cut them loose swiftly. That's how you stay great.
January 14, 20223 yr 50 minutes ago, South Austin said: What Vertigo said. And I think GD was unfairly scapegoated for our 5-7 season in 2010, after Mack had forced a run-heavy offense down his throat following the loss to Alabama, when we lacked a suitable offensive line and had a rising starter who spent his high school career and his freshman year running the spread. Greg Davis could make me pull my hair out, and a lot of his success from 2004 though 2009 was two incredible QBs making him look good. But Mack fucked him in 2010. Did Mack make sweet, poor Greg call a play action pass on 3rd and 17 from our own 5 yard line, down to Iowa State at home with time running out? I don’t actually disagree that Mack did Davis any favors in 2010, but Davis was an idiot who couldn’t synchronize his play calls from one snap to the next. Nonetheless, the biggest issues leading to the downfall of the Mack/Davis twinship were: 1) Pure lazy recruiting across the board starting as soon as Texas won the NC and 2) Giving Rape Gilbert and his son a three year window of being the only QB recruited. Davis was directly involved with both of those problems and he was the driver on item 2.

I fault him for trading him for a broke down RB with a worse contract. I know you’re not defending him, but what was the last NFL team to win it all without an elite wide receiver? I can’t think of one. BoB failed twice with the Hopkins trade: first because he traded a player for a personal reason because the player did not respect his coaching style and quality (which was justified on Hopkins’s part) and second was trading that player, who was also your best player, for meager returns. Hubris and incompetence.

Those are good points.

He called plays for the patriots for 3 years before taking a head coaching job at Penn state. I said over and over that I think he’s just plain ole good as an OC and he replaced a flat out fucking wizard in Sark. The poor bastard that has to follow saban at bama will feel and look the same way. Mediocre when compared to greatness but through a normal lens probably not bad. 6th ranked offense in the country is solid. I’m fine with stopping this conversation though, waste of time and that’s my fault.
