Of course he said he thinks Ed O can be successful (like he gonna say other wise) but he also said assistants can’t be more importaant than the HC

The idea that O could basically be a figurehead and you could surround him with great assistants was just so retarded to begin with.

People point to JoPa and Bobby Bowden as evidence but both of those guys WERE good at some point. Part of being a good HC is hiring good assistants, so they made it work because they knew who to surround themselves with. That system doesn't work if you have a HC that wasn't good in the first place and doesn't know who to surround himself with.
