But every time he was a HC he failed. He failed at Tenn and USC and Oakland. I think you need to take a time out from posting Broke.
Not exactly true homie. Oakland he fell out of favor with Davis and wasnt allowed the time needed to be successful... he left Tenn for his dream job USC...at USC he had Carrolls five star recruits but not enough players due to limited scholarships. So technically the only one that he really failed at was USC even though he wasnt really in position to be successful. Anyway..i'd rather have Herman or Strong.
Fell out of favor, he was 5-15. There is no proof he would have success if he SIMPLY had more time. When he had more time at USC, he regressed. He has not had success ANYWHERE. Not sure why he should be considered.
No comment on Strong, I just laughed to myself.
One and a quarter season with the Raiders and Jamarcus Russell...Cmon Mannn. He wasnt in position to have immediate success and wasnt allowed an adequate amount time to prove that he could be successful. Everybody knew that Davis had no patience. A big part of his regression at USC was due to limited schollys although its hardly ever mentioned. I was living in Pasadena at the time and I attended alot of their practices. His relationship with the players was rocky, which is my only real knock on him in regards to USC, but the negativity surrounding the program was really heavy. Alot of the negativity towards him is not really warrented, mostly media based. Its a reason he was the youngest HC in the NFL, hired to an SEC program immediately after getting fired from the Raiders, hired to USC as HC and then hired by Saban. Its a reason he has been allowed those opportunities, hes a talented young coach. Dont let the media fool you...
He failed in the NFL. I am sorry you think he earned more time but 5-15 is awful. There is no proof he just needed MORE TIME either. I know about USC, I know about sanctions, he inherited some of the best talent and sanctions. He did poorly.
There is a reason no one gave him another HC gig after USC. You can keep him on your want list.
The media isn't fooling me, I think he is awful as an HC.
I feel you..but at the same time if you were a first time head coach at the age of 32 in the NFL, not in college but the NFL for a garbage squad with Jamarcus Russell at QB and you were allowed only one season to produce, would you REALLY consider that as a failure? Im just saying, dude didnt get two or three yrs to practice coaching for temple or Memphis. Not everybody get it popping immediately like Harbaugh. Just my opinion...
