It can be a good hire, it can be a bad hire; we have no clue how this will shake out.
I can point to his successes in college and say that a former HC is coaching our LBs and that its the greatest thing ever.
But that has 0 bearing on how he will perform as our LB coach, just like a previous year with a different personnel and coaching staff, should have 0 bearing on how he does here.
Go into things without high or low expectations; just take it as it comes and then you won't find yourself griping about things you A; don't know about and b; have no control over.
It expends so much energy being pissed off and displeased, so why not save it for something you know will be shitty?
So what you are saying, essentially, is this (Correct me if I'm wrong)...
1.) Our opinions have no bearing on success or lack thereof?
2.) Past performace doesn't always dictate future performance. ( Different circumstances, yada, yada, yada..)
Basically, we won't know until we know, and talking about it doesn't change the fact.
See, I could dig that if not for one simply reason: You pick and choose when to apply this logic.
If someone posts a littany of facts to support the idea that Joe Burrow will be great, or that Jonah Williams will elevate the line then your post is nowhere to be found. Why is that?
If a guy gives a bunch of reasons why he thinks Zak Taylor is poised for success in year 2 are you there to remind him that he has no clue how things will shake out and it's something he has no control over? No. No, you aren't.
But when a guy post the reverse, here's why I think X is a bad hire you hit him with this garbage.
It's such a cop-out, made in back-tracking from a stance you either can't refute or don't won't to.
There is nothing wrong with people sharing kpinions and giving their predictions on the results. That's what the board is for. And you seem to be fine with that, as long as you agree with the narrative. So be fine with it across the board. It's not at all fair to pick and choose when to remind people they have no control over the results.
Basically, what I'm saying, is your logic here is total bs. :andy:
