Well yeah,,,,,,,Perkins had absolutely no experience coaching at the college level.....zero as in none.....he spent his entire career in the NFL. He built the Giants franchise that Bill Parcells went on to win a couple of Super Bowls with but he was wholly unsuited for the college game. It didn't help things that he was also basically an a-hole.

Another factor with Perkins was also that he was the athletic director. Back in the day when the head football coach often was the athletic director. If you could go back in time and have Greg Byrne be the AD at the end of Bryant's career, Ray Perkins may not have even gotten an interview. It was such a different era. It's part of why we suffered with Hayden Riley as the head basketball coach and the head baseball coach.

Am I the only person here who liked Perkins and thought he did an excellent job in a difficult situation? He wasn’t Mr. Personality but did he have to be? I know a doctor who’s one of the biggest assholes ever born of a woman, a complete and utter turd, but if I needed help in his specialty there’s not anyone else on this planet I’d go to or take a family member to.

I’m kinda liking the fact that he doesn’t really care who we like as a DC or whoever. He is going to get the folks that he feels will win for him and carry his philosophy.
Hope it works out.

Alot of the negative perception of Perkins is due to his awful stint at the Bucs after he left & him being tied to the Gene Jelks scandal which we now know wasn't true.
