Yeah no argument here on that. But he’s done pretty pretty pretty good in college. If we’re judging the full coaching tree that should count, as should Ferentz in Iowa, esp since Weis is always be cited as a case against in this discussion.
Weis, Crennel, Mangini, O’Brien, Patricia, and Mcdaniels are the only coordinator-level people we’re talking about here (Pees left for lateral job, and did well, am I missing anyone?)...which isn’t a lot of coordinators in almost 20 years of time. That’s 2 NFL failures, Weis never tried at NFL, OBrien and Patricia I think you have to say jury is still out. McDaniels failed in DEN but came home and may yet prove to be the true heir and most learned coach and team builder of the B.B. tree in the same way Bill once was from Parcells. Or he’s living in a waking hellscape of 3 forced jet sweeps per game, who knows. Anyway while lacking a current great NFL success story, I just think the vast majority of the BB coaching tree legacy is yet to be written.
