Message: [QUOTE="RF2044, post: 4130801, member: 40"] JB deserves a tremendous amount of respect -- and every bit of deferential reverence the fanbase can muster. But he's not beyond reproach. He's not above criticism. And he is not infallible. As described above, it's possible to regard the man as coaching royalty for all his accomplishments and to simultaneously hold him accountable for / point out the multitude of ways he's responsible for the program's decline. Both things can be true at the same time, despite what some fans want to pretend. There was a time when I think he was above this kind of criticism, but that time is far behind in the rear view mirror. This is a results-driven profession, and his results haven't been up to snuff, for ~7 years. [/QUOTE]
