I honestly don't remember what the talk was like in 2008.
That said, we know what Pollack did in Cincy before that mess in NY. We knew what he did in Dallas before we hired him initially.
So...we have reason to believe what happened in NY was a fluke. Just as what happened to Zim in ATL was a fluke. I know I knew better than to judge Zim for that.
One bad stop shouldn't cancel out a good/great career. Especially when the situation is a total mess.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
