Message: [QUOTE="billsin01, post: 1248063, member: 837"] I don't know. I've got a few problems with this post, so I'll enumerate them: 1) Can we stop talking about character? Huge pet peeve of mine. At the end of the day most people probably fall somewhere between good and bad character but it's hard to really know and even harder to judge. And, while DM may in fact have exemplary character, at some point you have to own your actions as well and he hasn't done that particularly well. 2) It is really strange to hear how much criticism seems to eat at him. I mean, if it is such a big deal that sports radio goofballs are giving him the business, why not give up the NFL altogether and coach somewhere close to home and out of the spotlight -- Hofstra or some place like that. Seriously, I'm not knocking him but how the hell is he going to handle the Jets job if he gets irked by a few yokels in Buffalo? 3) Pointing to his record is, eh, fair, I guess, but it's not like you're pointing to anything he actually 'finished'. Right? I mean, he left SU but it wasn't like he left us poised to go out and start winning 10+ every year. It's certainly possible that we would be far more successful each of the past two years with DM but he took us from abysmal to respectable. It's a lot harder to take that next step to legit ACC title/BCS game contender. And while Buffalo had a great year relative to it's past decade, they probably don't beat the pats had the pats cared in the least about that game, which essentially means you're pounding your chest over an 8-7 record (Pats win not included) in a league that features a TON of parity. I don't know, I'm not a huge fan of the trend of media hatchet jobs when someone leaves town, but I also think DM has to look in the mirror at some point on this stuff. [/QUOTE]
