Except they were for totally different reasons. We used logic and sound reason to form our opinion, not give them excuses like you do. Kubiak was a brilliant offensive coordinator who hasn’t accomplished anything without a HOF QB and a legendary defense in Denver. He is back to being an OC now. He can design a scheme with the best of them, but cannot handle all the duties of HC and his loyalty clouds his judgement, IE Schaub.
OB never produced a good offense outside of a HOF QB and legendary offensive staff. His teams here won on defense and a terrible division. Once teams got better in the playoffs we got smoked. He was fool’s gold.
Brian Billick..OCfor the 98’ Vikings...terrible Ravens offenses as the HC of the Ravens
Steve Wilks..defensive guy whose defenses in AZ got him fired after 1 year as the HC of the Cardinals.
Rod Marinelli -defensive guy whose defenses got him fired after 1 0-16 season as the Lions HC.
Charlie Weis - OC for those early Pats teams...failed in numerous HC gigs in college and pros...offenses were awful.
Romeo Crennel..DC of those early Pats teams failed at numerous spots with terrible defenses in KC, Cleveland
Ken whisenhunt....you should get the pint by now..
IOW, The graveyard of HC is full of guys whose teams were terrible on the sides of the ball they were supposed “experts” on. BoB is no different than any of the guys I name above.
So while you’re getting all giddy about some unknown guy with a pedigree on offense, I’ll sit back and grade him objectively as a HC...b/c that’s what the job is HC, not OC..not playcaller or “offense designer”. The skill set is different and the most important skill set is hiring personnel that can best help u curate your vision.
what did Kubiak’s great offensive pedigree do for us here under him? What did those top ranked offenses get us? Dick, that’s what. Furthermore, BoB was able to accomplish more here than Kubiak and his great pedigree of offensive ball...I say all that to say pedigree means nothing and it’s highly likely that whomever is brought in it won’t mean a whole lot either except to fans who think that their previous success somewhere else is guaranteed to translate to us.
It’s not...
