It really is eye opening. I don't have any big connections in football or anything, but I do know a couple of guys who have experience at smaller colleges. A year or so ago, one of the guys said something along the lines of "Everyone in the NFL knows ball, and they know what they are doing. I think the main reason some of these guys fail is because they aren't given enough time."
I don't think that is something that is true ALL of the time, but I do think that guys are cut too quickly sometimes. I will be the first to admit that I was not a fan of Zac and Lou. I thought they were a joke, the whole coaching staff. It's a lesson to learn that, sometimes, even though we may be so sure that the coaches are just raving idiots, it is probably us that are idiots. None of us really know what the hell we are talking about, no matter how confidently we say it.
In the same vein, it is also a reminder that players play the game. The coaches are doing a good job, but good coaches also find good players.
