And Zimmer came here from Atlanta. How well did that go? 4-12.
Yes, they went 5-11 AFTER announcing that they were leaving the city. They started 3-1, but no team plays well when the players and fans know they are leaving. Hence why they finished the season with a 1-6 run.
Zimmer had a bad season in Atlanta when Bobby Petrino joined the team, and quit before his first season was even over. Doesn't remove the fact that he was the DC of a #1 defense.

So basically your point was that guys who were successful prior, had a bad year in unusual extenuating circumstances, therefor everyone who complains about any meh hiring is wrong.
As I said, it's a terrible example.
