My slender baby farts.

I don't know much about Switzer, other than what I've read on the internet. He inherited a great team, went 12-4 in back-to-back seasons and won a Super Bowl? (He then got fired during year 3 after some sort of interaction with law enforcement.)

What's the argument for him being a horrible coach? (Sincere question.)

He inherited a great team, and dismantled it imo

He was repeatedly referred to as "doing a nice job letting his coaches coach while he 'drives the bus.'

He did nothing to improve an already back to back SB winning franchise. He collected a trophy on Jimmy Johnson's coat tails (much like the wayyy over rated Payton Manning collecting one with Denver), and the franchise hasn't gotten close to a SB since his departure.

Imo, the measure of being successful at anything you are hired to manage is that you leave it better than the way you found it.

He did not.

He was such a horrible HC that his own QB refused to talk to him.

At 83? Why? The Lions can have Jim Harbaugh. He’s already in the area. Ann Arbor is only about 40 miles west of Detroit.

It was tongue-in-cheek. And I think Harbaugh would be a bad hire for them.
