Sure, ask hin aboot his 2 bright spots and not the spending spree he went on overpaying a 2-14 core with ridiculously large contracts

It's not like he was consistently drafting good players in the first round or anything.

Safe picks--unless you consider Jonathan Stewart, Jeff Otah, Everette Brown (traded a first rounder for him).

 

Where are the WRs he drafted?

Where are the defensive tackles?

How many elite CBs did he draft?

 

How do you think he did negotiating contracts?

How well did he do in free agency?

 

He gave away the 33rd pick in the draft for Armanti Edwards, a small school QB with NO WR EXPERIENCE (which is still the case).

He tried to ttrade up with the Rams to draft Jimmy Clausen--they did not accept his offer.

He drafted players with injury histories that shortenened or adversly impacted their careers.

No WRs or DTs but gamble was a good pick

Gamble was solid, but I don't think he ever made a pro bowl.  I think he cost us a fourth rounder to move up and grab.  If I am moving up in the first round to grab a DB, he better be special.

 

How many free agent WRs and draft picks did he bring in, only to bust here?  It would be impossible to miss that often.  I started counting one day and got up to about 14 from memory-

Trademark Hurney:

He kept Morgan and let Witherspoon walk.

He let Geoff Schwartz and Evan Mathis go (different years), but re-signed Garry Williams.

 

  Sure, he had a few nice picks, but you or I would have done as well.

He never did make a pro bowl but should have. Just thinking about what our defense could have done with a gamble in his prime is scary. But yeah hurney wasn't the greatest I was never arguing that lol.

    • I’ve rarely ever been more sure of anything than losing out — but how can anyone say with a straight face “Bryce hasn’t improved, but Canales has and he’s masks his flaws”. You have to be so out of touch with reality to put one way above the other when discussing those two. 
    • Last night was the classic example of a visiting team just holding on through the wave of emotion a home team has at the start of a big time game. Bama’s first two kickoff returns really set them back as far as playcalling and allowed OU to dictate field position. The emotion of the home crowd fed into what OU was doing at that point, and it felt like Bama would not be able to overcome that.     Once the kickoff returner was told to fair catch every kick, the game shifted, as Bama wasn’t starting each drive inside their own 15. It was then that Bama was able to make some plays, outscoring OU 34-7 the rest of the way.  I think the last 3/4 of the game proves Bama was the better team. OU was just able to ride the initial wave of emotion to a big lead, but Bama held on just enough.  However, had OU blocked the punt on Bama’s second drive and scored a TD (vice a FG on the ensuing drive), things likely would have been different.  Anyway, Roll Tide!
