You’re both right. It’s not the ‘same ol.’ And Lashlee is better than Penos.

we had more AAs and produced better nfl players in the 1970s, before we were UM, than we did in the 2010s. No matter what nfl stats people want to let distract them.

@DMoney I'm at a loss to keep this up. You and I have had many exchanges in many threads on this topic. If you don't recall any of them, it's probably not worth going into. I have never said the only metric, or even a good metric, of talent is wins. That's absurd. I don't even know where...

No offense, but what you wrote is false and obviously so and you know that. I have never 'rejected' the things you say. I have pointed out that they are flawed metrics, don't speak for themselves, are capable of misuse or misunderstanding, and don't prove what you claim they do. Also, I have...

You said it. I’ve always agreed that the things you’ve been focused on have, indeed, been real issues. heck, I’ve been amongst the earlier group of fans who saw the negatives on each of the last 5 coaches, probably while more upbeat fans were still saying they could succeed. However, where we...
