Quote from: DaveBrown74 on March 31, 2024, 07:20:18 AMWas Daboll a bad coach masquerading as a very good coach in 2022? Or was he a good coach who got complacent/cocky after 2022 and consequently did a poor coaching job in 2023 but is capable of rebounding and getting back to the techniques that made him successful in 2022?
For me, where I'd rank him right now has a lot to do with which of those two classifications I'd put him in. To just rank him based on the previous season alone seems like a pretty simplistic, one-dimensional way of doing this.
Jeff,
THAT is the million-dollar question. As you say, Dabs might just get a bit too full of himself with his early success, and a bit of hubris brought him down. He would hardly be the first person to fall into that trap and if you recognize the mistake, it's correctable.
On the other hand, they say you learn more about a person in adversity than in good times. Plus, the way the Giants handled the Wink situation left a sour taste in my mouth, which I don't think bodes well for the future.
It's really hard to predict which direction is the correct one, and I guess we will all find out.
