pete was a fraud before we canned him for belicheck, i'm sure he's smooth with 17-year olds recruiting-wise but as a coach, he's not average if he doesn't have the luxury of massively-superior talent.
kiffin's no different, good with face time but isn't ever going to be a coach that wins without accruing superior team
when you have a marked advantage in athletes every year, you're lucky or you're not above water with the ncaa. chances are they both realized their jobs and the kids that they could grab given how elite their programs are still lusted for bad, dumb kids and took them for the games where someone who'd be an nfl starter that moment was going to blow up a play or hit 200 yards on the ground against a real defense. average coaching=erased.
both traitors, both lacking the mental faculties to play chess in the nfl and understand who pgh ends up hot out of the blue while your game plan didn't figure your gaurd's flailing at air because his guy disengaged after 2 seconds and is now in zone shoving a dick up your plans to drag your back through there.
good and dirty recruiters, disloyal and totally-uncreative and pedestrian coaches. ever see carroll draw up a play that took an announcer pause to dissect and explain? hell fucking no, neither are ever going to be mike martz or payton-they're d3 coaches with good looks and mike skills.
