You make a valid point and you may be right.

But his record as a HC is abysmal.

He needs to read "The Peter Principle" and stay put.

I agree that he's likely to have a much better career as an OC than an HC. But his personality tends to overshadow the fact that he came into the Raiders way too young (and, let's face it, the Raiders were a death sentence for almost any career, coaching or playing, at the time) and that his stint at UT came when they were completely in the doldrums and he actually had some success before leaving. The Vol fans weren't enraged because a terrible coach was leaving, after all. And his stint at USC started at the same time as some major sanctions. He's probably never going to be as successful as an HC as he thinks he'll be -- personality problems again -- but his career isn't quite the trainwreck it looks like from outside.
