No. The Spanos are hardly the worst. Probably closer to middle of the pack. People forget that owners like Jerry Jones, Snyder, Mike Brown, Jim Haslam, and Mark Davis exist. Their main strength is that they rarely meddle and usually give a coach time. Weakness is that outside of the salary cap, they’re more hesitant to spend. Though I think moving to LA has helped a little bit in that regards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has never struck me as a great football mind coach but more of a brilliant recruiter at the college level. Some stupid team will give him a bunch of money though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won at Bowling Green, won at Utah, won at Florida, won at Ohio State. Of course he was a fantastic recruiter. You do what you have to do at the level you're at. He's a great program builder and has won at every stop he's been. Think saying he hasn't been a good coach is a pretty wild take. Not like there's not risk there, but that goes for any of these guys. He's also going to be able to assemble a great staff with his connections which will be important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Williams’ name should be replaced with Hunter Henry if we can resign him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But have you forgotten that John and Dean made retention of the existing coordinators a contingency for the last two head coaches they hired? They interfere plenty, it's just not to the level that Jerruh used to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I've stated before, I just don't see how hiring a hot shot playcaller who's never headed a team/program as being any more of a sure thing.

If I were SD I would be setting my sights on Daboll, his work with Allen was spectacular and Herbert/Allen are physically almost identical only Herbert had a much better rookie season. He could build something formidable in LA. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe his best attribute is finding and recruiting talent. Something that is not transferrable to the NFL IMO. I would rather take a chance at a hot shot play caller.

You do what you need to get the job done and be on top. Bringing in elite talent is how you do that. Anyone at the top schools will have that attached. Ryan Day is now doing the same thing at OSU. He won at Bowling Green and Utah prior to getting the blue chippers you talked about as well. Definitely personal preference though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
