I'm not so sure D'no should be on the worst ever list. when we saw a receiver catch a ball w no defender withiin 10 yards, or a lineman playing patty cake, that was exactly what they were coached to do. So from that perspective D'no put together a very well
Coached unit. In fact, I'd argue that D'no was probably one of our best assistants ever. How often did u see a player out of position? Almost never. I can't remember a single instance where a player went outside his coaching and found himself in position to stop YAC or get push into the backfield.
(Sarcasm alert: This post was sarcasm. For the 75% of us who don't understand sarcasm... Please calm down. No need to get emotional)
The difference between Nix and D'No seems to be that Donofrio was an actual coach who coached the team to play awful. Nix on the other hand never seemed to do anything as OC because he was so clueless. Donofio had an awful scheme while Nix had no scheme. I'm not sure which is worse- coaching players to play awful or being too clueless to coach at all.
I think I'd rather have a bad coach than a bad scheme because a good player can out talent the coaching. I think. I wonder if golden tied Dnos hands and forced the scheme on him. I can't imagine a man whose spent his life in football being that stupid.. Let alone 2 on the same staff.
