Yeah the dads hade acumen, of course. But the dads are long dead. Now the sons are owners, and they're predictably terrible.

But I agree with you, Cards situation is one of the worst because of the multiple generations

At the same time Saban and Meyer failed as well. I hear what you’re saying but I don’t know if there’s a correlation there. I think at the time part of the idea was that he had experience running the type of offense the nfl was trying to switch too and he had experience with qbs who went on to be successful in the nfl. I do remember at the time there was questions about the hiring. I don’t know enough about football to fully understand it. But I don’t think his college winning percentage is necessarily one of those factors. I’m trying to think of other college coaches who had success in the nfl. Erickson did decent. Jimmy Johnson did really well. Belichick was an assistant in college. Schiano was shit. Louisville guy was a trash human. Was Mora college first? Anywho it’s an interesting thought experiment about what makes a college coach do well in the pros.
