Quote:No, in fact I think he would make a good one. I just had to point out that there are other coaches who have had identical results in identical situations and yet, you don't hear people clamoring for them to be hired. Again, that points back to the question. What makes him special?

 

I've already answered it. 

 

The mark of a good coach is doing more with less/ winning through adversity. O Brien has proven that now for 2 years. Had he stayed at PSU, he'd have undoubtedly had that program to one of the best teams in the country in short time. 

 

He didn't get the coach of the year award last season for being "mediocre" as you labeled it.
