re: The Illusion of Success: Gus Malzahn's Offensive Rankings

Again, if you look at his resume with no name or bio attached you would take him in a heartbeat.

I disagree. It isn't bad at all but alot of context is lost that way. We have to look at where the record was achieved, what aspects does he focus on as a coach, what are the strongest aspects of the team during his tenure, etc.

The fact it’s Gus clouds judgement and you’ll never convince we otherwise

Sure he does for some. I would never say that there isn't a significant portion of our fan base that doesn't want him purely because of his name. There are some in this thread that own up to it. I agree on that.

The issue I have is saying that anyone who doesn't want him falls into the above category. When you say something like that, it eliminates our ability to have a conversation because you are just writing everyone off who disagrees.
