OR MAYBE THE LINE THAT PLAYED WELL IN 06 AND 07 WITHERED UNDER GARRETT'S POOR SCHEMING, AND YOU'RE ONLY WILLING TO LOOK AT IT FROM A SINGLE NARROW PERSPECTIVE, BECAUSE THAT'S THE ONLY WAY TO SUPPORT YOUR ARGUMENT.Well, for one, says Bob Sturm. Despite the fact that he acknowledged, as I do, that the game plans were not great, the thing he says first is "YOU MUST UPGRADE THE OL SO THE COACH CAN TRUST THEM TO DO BASIC THINGS."
Go write it on a chalkboard until it makes sense to you, dude. We can't run certain things because the OL is not capable of executing certain tasks. Every single coach is lessened in effectiveness when this is the case.
The line is untalented, so was the line in 06. But somehow the teams before Garrett took the reigns had consistently scoring offenses, with a strong rushing attack.
In 08 it turned volatile. The good line was bad somehow. After just one year Garrett COULDN'T TRUST THESE DOLTS TO EXECUTE HIS PERFECT SCHEME.
Your premise that if we can't have a hall of fame coach we might as well keep Garrett is absurd, even the Lovies, Grudens, and Whisenhunts bring something to the table. They've had measurable success under less than ideal circumstances.
On the other hand, Garrett (by your own admission) has struggled with game planning. He has been awful managing he clock, and getting plays in. He's struggling with coaching 101.
