I'm still trying to find the issue with my first post, which led to op fan bashing in his own anti fanbashing thread, so I will try again.
Of course people were underwhelmed. Many form their opinion based on what they read on here, and much info on this site is misinformation. Therefore, many base their opinion on bad info, which makes them uneducated opinions. Hell, many thought Gruden was coming, and it was a big letdown. That bs was the cause of a lot of people being underwhelmed. Well guess what. Some of the smarter ones started educating themselves a little and are now excited, rather than underwhelmed. Me included. I guess that makes me a boot polisher.
Most fans don't know anything about the coaching tree and there are a lot of good coaches out there that aren't first on our list. That doesn't mean they will suck. He has as much of a chance to succeed as fisher, gundy, strong, Patterson, bielema, etc would here and wants to be here, so concern about him not being our first pick seems silly in the big picture.
I don't know why we should care which pick of ours he was as long as he wins, and nobody knows if he will or not.
