HCMM was a decent coach. Players generally liked him as a person and he was especially liked by many player families for his meaningful belief in taking care of the person, not just the player. He had two enormous blind spots, though. One, he was a catastrophe as a manager of his staff allowing loyalty to override accountability, and two, he doggedly adhered to a bygone therory of smaller, nimble, ‘let’s develop them’ players on the LOS. Both faults were his ultimate undoing.

I'd like to add that he couldn't make a half-time adjustment to save his life.

MM just didn't fully embrace recruiting and believed more in wish fulfillment as the foundation of the program. Combining an apathetic attitude toward recruiting and his philosophy for the OL (way too small and not quick either, rather than larger and stronger), and you get the horrendous OL play we saw. Also, keeping a non-recruiter like Gary Bernardi as OL coach (arguably the most important Asst Coaching position on the team) for the first 3 seasons of his tenure was an enormous mistake.

Not sure if mentioned elsewhere but from Brian's chat today regarding Moretti "He's still trying to get back to full health. He's out this spring and has lost a lot of weight. From what I hear, he's around 270. So, even if he is cleared by summer, as I've heard, it might be tough for him to get to the weight he needs to really help much this year. But, he's so talented, I wouldn't rule him out."

You gotta feel bad for the kid but at this point, if he doesn't get to playing weight by fall and contributes, I don't see him ever being healthy enough to play which is sad to see. By all accounts, he's a very positive, upbeat kid.

Getting healthy and making weight by fall are two separate issues. Not playing this fall because he's underweight won't hamper his career moving forward assuming the knee is right.

Completely agree. I guess I misstated my intended point. I don't see him wanting to stick around another year after not being able to play and just medically retiring because it's got to be a mental toll not consistently getting on the field in the sport you love for the past is it 4 years now?
 
Ride that horse till it bucks ya. I hope it works out for him, sucks that it's part of the game. It very much is, though.

...you wouldn't have so many decades of life experience by which to make such decisions. You'd also know his goals and dreams which would give you insight into his plans.

I said “consider.” And I’m sure he is and has.

It was a dart board I have set up like a carnival game. Spin the wheel and threw the dart, it takes awhile because drinking was involved. Plus I really am pulling for Moretti so I cheated until I got him at LT. lol I have no idea who's going to start
