Perhaps Mike Brown isn't so Semi-Retired?

This article is one of those.  This was Mike Brown pick.  Couple this with the interview with Pollack where he says he did not go to Clemson's pro day and never even met Carman in person.  Hobson even stated how Pollack likes to physcial get his hands on prospects but didn't in this scenario.

Willie vouching for him is the only thing giving some confidence.  On a positive side, if Carman was always "the guy", trading back and still getting him was a great move.

What concerned me a bit was Pollack saying in an interview that he did not attend Clemson's Pro Day, so he did not see Carman in person.

With that said, it's not like Mike Brown made this decision in the a vacuum.
He sought the opinions of a longtime OL coach (Paul Alexander) and arguably his second-best OL player in franchise history (Willie Anderson) on Carman, who both worked with Carman.
