I wasn't a fan of McDaniels last season, wasn't a fan of McDaniels
in
the first half of this season, and I'm *really not* a fan of
McDaniels in
the second half of this season. I've been missing Charlie Weis more
and
more...

WHAT? Charlie Weis of Notre Dame?
You've got to be kidding!

No, I'm not kidding. Weis was an excellent offensive coordinator who
made uncanny mid-game adjustments when the going called for it -
something
McDaniels hasn't learned how to do yet. I rarely disagreed with CW's
play calling, and the Pats won three superbowls with him calling the
shots
with *a lot less player talent* than they had this year...

I guess those uncanny calls didn't work for Notre Dame at least this
year.
When the Irish were 1-7, they were ranked 119th in rushing offense,
112th
in passing, and 118th in scoring out of the 119 teams in Division 1-A.
Yup signs of an excellent offensive coordinator or was Brady Quinn that
good
those previous years?

So being the offensive coordinator for three superbowls means nothing to
you?

Why should it mean anything to me?
[...]

Ah - ok, I thought we were having an actual discussion of the relative
merits
of two coaches.

No problem, I need to go replace an inner tube on a snowblower tire, which
will be much more entertaining than a gain-saying contest...

/daytripper (and I bet that tube will hold up its end of the argument ;-)

Yes agree, I'm smiling too.
There are other things more important in life than sports.
Good luck with your tire.
