He was a great GM though.

He was so great at picking out coaches for Detroit, that's for sure.

i wanna know about his worst loss the year before that.
Posted on 6/10/13 at 8:08 pm to Crompdaddy8
Yea I don't see how he can put Butch Jones that high on the list this early but whatevs I guess

Agree with the top 3 although I'd have them:
1. Saban
1A. Ballsack
2. Patterson
Does he really not have Meyer and Shaw on that list?!?!

Art Briles? Bill O'Brien? Butch Jones?

The only hire I can think of that may have been worse is when they thought Rush Limbaugh would be a good sports commentator.
Agreed with your post mostly, except for the "may have been" part. Limbaugh was obviously a dumb move from the start. What does that fat bastard know about sports? They hired him for entertainment, forgetting he was entertaining because his schtick is pissing so many people off. I'm no fan of Matt Millen, but this isn't a close call for me.
Patterson isn't getting enough respect from the SECR. He has done a lot with not much. Saban is obviously #1, but Patterson deserves to be in the conversation. Probably after Peterson and possibly Briles.
No mention of Kevin Damn Sumlin and that's fine. He's a newbie. He'll be there before long.

I thought Limbaugh was a sports reporter in the KC are way back when.?

Derek Dooley is 0-25 when trailing at half time.
Wow ... those are some real juggernauts right there, for sure.

Relative to where he was coaching at the time it isn't bad. I guess that would make too much sense though.
I am not endorsing him as some awesome coach, but he seems to do well wherever he goes.

That would be news to me, and I have a hard time picturing it. If correct I see Limbaugh criticizing some college or KC/STL player for being for gun control or fathering too many babies or being soft on immigration, or here's the kicker: being addicted to some drug. Which would be priceless. I think of myself as conservative, always have. Rush Limbaugh makes conservatives look like idiots by association.
Sorry for the rant, but that fat bastard has somehow successfully taken over what it means to be conservative, and it chaps my arse (or in SECR terms, rustles my jimmies).

Agree for the most part. The 2001 SEC title game may be an exception, but I guess all he and Jimbo really did was QB sneak every time on third down.

Dooley is not good at anything and should not be the standard for comparison for anything, unless the comparison is for 'worst ever' or something to that effect.

Dooley sucked but he walloped Jones in 2011.
