Message: [QUOTE="RF2044, post: 5680399, member: 40"] Autry was a bad choice, because there were no indications that he was up to the challenge. Zero. Zip. And also because as many feared, he had no command of X's and O's, did not excel at teaching the game, and no discernible systems on either side of the ball. There's a reason he was vague about what he wanted to do when he got hired. And there is a reason why all of these fears ended up predictably manifesting once he got the job. Hopkins would be a bad choice, because like Red he is a no-trick pony. His lack of systems got exposed at Washington, and we dodged a bullet. If either of these guys had different last names, or weren't associated with our program, nobody would even consider hiring them to be our head coach. Throwing shiz against the wall to see what sticks and crossing your fingers and wishing for the best ARE NOT hiring strategies. [/QUOTE]
