I give Booger all the credit for going against the grain and hiring a college HC and turning the football team building and running over to him while he tried to turn his investment into the black.
He hired a guy with a lot of experience recruiting and coaching against players they would need to turn the team around. I do think Johnson left the money side of it alone, that was Booger's territory, until the Emmitt holdout put them in a hole. Booger thought Emmitt was just a player, a player that wanted too much money, but the football guys, Johnson and Turner, had built their offense around him, he was the catalyst.
It was a brilliant hire of a HC, the last he would make. He hired Parcells to get the Big Top and was even pleased when Parcells failed to deliver a ring, really never came close. Remember the comments he made, while drunk, in that recording about Parcells? In his warped and hopeless craving for attention and credit, he thought Parcells not succeeding made him look better. Well, if the great and wonderful Oz can't do it?
I think it is amusing you guys keep trying to defend a man that openly admitted he should have fired himself. Even he didn't think he was doing a good job. But that was not going to stop him from trying to do it. Problem is he's part timer at it and only does the things he wants to do. But, he owns it and has the right to do with as he pleases.
Booger is not doing anything to us that we do not allow to happen. Show me the logic with being any kind of fan. We're all nuts!
