quote:
A good manager of any business is good because he or she does one of two things. They either know how to do the things they are responsible for doing at a high level, or they find others who do those things at a high level and delegate the work to them.

Coach O is that second guy. He finds people that excel and lets them do their thing. He finds good players and good asst coaches. The only X and O area he involves himself in is helping the Dline because that is a skill he does have.

So my question here is, hypothetically, if Coach O over say the next 5 years, averages 10 wins a year (including bowl game), where would you rank him as an SEC coach (1 to 14)? Given, he will likely have to replace both OC and DC at least once in that span, and do so successfully. If he does that well, does he get your respect?

Coach O will have to actually "coach" football, he will have make X & O decisions throughout the week of prep and at crucial points on game day.

He will have to make important decisions regardless of how great and fantastic is staffers are. All kinds of assumptions and hypothetical's can be made, but "if" he finds a way to win 10 games a year consistently then he will have earned respect from his SEC brethren.
