re: How Did Hokie Get His Job?

I think it may well be the pain from his playing days. It seems like a few years back he started getting much more negative and grumpy. IIRC, during the year the Saints ended up winning the Superbowl, he was doing a good bit of poor mouthing the team's chances week by week. Maybe after that he figured prognosticating wasn't his strong suit and that's why he's so vanilla now.
