You intimated that Campo was not a success because of the presence of players like Kenny Wheaton, Kareem Larrimore et al. I said every team has busts regardless of the quality of the coaches. Listing a bunch of players who could not hack it hardly devalues his ability as a coach.
My point was pithy and accurate. Your point was inaccurate. Terribly, terribly inaccurate.
I'm bringing balance to the intimation
Fuzzy made that Campo was a success because of players like Kevin Smith, Darren Woodson, James Washington, Anthony Henry, Kenny Gant, Rashean Mathis, and Larry Brown. Countering your point, listing a bunch of players who
could hack it hardly increases his values as a coach either. My point was very accurate. Those DBs were coached by Campo and they failed. You can't focus solely on the successes while ignoring the failures, and vice-versa.
The bottom line is I find it very sucpicious that Campo was #2 on coach Wade's list of secondary coaches. Now, if coach Wade tells us Campo wasn't even on his top 20 list (which he will never do because that would
really piss off Jerry), it would just show us that Jerry is on another one of his ownership cycles. This would be cycle #2 of Jerry hiring a head-strong HC to build the team, and after the team is strong Jerry says, "Thanks HC. I'll take it from here." He then hires subservient coaches so he can once again run the show his way.
Regardless......I've said it before: Dave Campo is a nice guy and I wish him well. I have nothing personally against him, I just dont want to see that Dominos-in-the-locker-room mentality creep back into Valley Ranch.
