he played the defensive quarterback so he was seen as smart (which he is, but frighteningly shallow in terms of his overall team philosophy), but unlike every other coach, he played at a HOF level and won a super bowl, PLUS the 5-3 record as interim coach probably made it all seem like the perfect storm.

shit i won't front, i recognized they needed a kick in the ass and was glad to see them getting it, i just thought and hoped that his time spent with walsh would lead to him getting himself more and more prepared for this moment. unfortunately NOT.
