I'm saying, I don't care if he's made mediocre progress with terrible teams. He might have inherited crap, but he didn't turn that crap into gems. Last is last. Saying that the numbers kinda indicate that he might have been able to improve a pass rush that still ended up last, is ridiculous. JAX changed from a 3/4 to a 4/3 in 2010, so of course 2009 sack totals would be low, and in 2010 they should go up even with wrong personnel. Since then, they're in the same place.
And some players simply can't be turned into gems. Not everyone is cut out for it. I get it, they were last. But it's not like the D-line was the only problem they had. That whole team sucked a big one. The line, the linebackers, the QB and offense, there were no redeemable qualities to that team.
I'm not saying I'm excited about the hire. What I'm saying is I don't necessarily think his numbers in Jacksonville are indicative of what he's capable of. I don't know enough about him to make an educated assessment. I infer that you're in the same situation as me. Looking at stats alone is not enough to tell the whole story. Chud was great in 07 and in Carolina. He was awful in 08. That's largely because of injuries and the guys he had playing for him sucked. Does that mean he's a bad coach because he wasn't able to turn them into gems?
P.S. Sorry Wuck, not sure why I thought it was you instead of MoFlo that I was quoting.
