No, I know exactly who he is. Why would he count? Because he had smallish and embellished roll years ago and did very little when he came back? He didn't have a huge role as a coach back in the day, so I hope going back doesn't take into account the fact that he was a backup QB here.
OC is not a "smallish and embellished roll" [sic]. It was very clear when Gary left that the offense took a step back.
Going back means hiring folks from your past, that's exactly what Gary was. In fact, it was even referred to as "getting the band back together" when the hire was made.
He was an assistant coach. An assistant.
And he came back and rode a great roster and the DC.
We don't have to agree - if you want to squint at things that's fine. I consider the 'Skins going back for Gibbs, or us going back for Shanahan, guys who were truly great coaches as going back. I'd even take or accept the argument for Wade who wasn't a great HC, but is one of the best damn DC's ever. But Kubiak was never a truly great HC, or even a truly great OC. And he wasn't great during the SB run. He was present. He certainly wasn't great in his last year here, either.
How often has "getting the band back together" actually worked? I would bet it's very rare for that to be a successful strategy. We struck gold a few years ago with that strategy. The likelihood of us striking gold again is low. The well is dry. Get out while we're ahead.
