how do you account for what he did before iowa. he didnt have any better talent yet he did better there. i understand his asst. was pretty good but that isnt all there is. he didnt do a great job at iowa. i dont deny that fact but his system works. look at most mid majors (especially ones around the midwest). we didnt see a quick turn around and didnt like the style so we vilafied him. he will get another job (ala mcdermott) and show he knows it. i get he didnt connect with the players he brought in but he must have before he got to iowa.
just so you know i thought he was the wrong guy for the job when he was hired but he was the new big name and barta thought it was a splash hire. i wouldnt say the arkansas coach is a bad coach but he didnt win for the falcons. saban is a great coach but isnt a pro coach. tubby smith is a good coach and won at kentucky and they ran him out of town. that gilespie (sp?) was solid until kentucky. multiple coaches do well one place and then go to another and it doesnt work out. did they all of a sudden forget how to coach? answer: no. it just isnt the right situation.
