But if its an article that changes your mind you are getting some new info usually. I think whats different about this article is that even tho its stating the obvious, the mediots have largely ignored writing the obvious about Mr Teflon for so long. So in that sense its kinda refreshing.
Garrett is teflon? I find that hard to imagine given even the flagship questions him.
The article reads like him going through a series of unfortunate events and then laying them at the feet of the coaches saying "they should have done more."
It's a writing style and I get that but ultimately it glorifies what went wrong and then assumes itself in cause. He states his central argument "that in these crucial circumstances the coaches should have been able to come through." You cannot really disagree with it because its so meaningless.
Garrett is still not all bad traits and is average when fairly measured by W-L. I want better but he's not worthless. If we have to wait a year to get Payton then I can deal with one more year of Garrett. Just have the discipline to not be wowed by short term variance.
