    I enjoyed the read, and will go against the grain in saying he's right on a lot of counts.

    He is dismissing the role of the head coach which is a mistake, but great assistants are the difference between winning at a high level and something just north of mediocre. RoadDawg made the comment, did Allioti get smarter under Kelly? Ya, I actually think he did. Allioti learned from Kelly. He was coached up by the head coach. Great assistants don't necessarily make great head coaches, but they do learn, evolve, adapt, develop and execute the head coach's vision. And when they don't, a great head coach will either develop them or replace them.

    He's also right that at the end of the day it is about the players. They are executing the game plan. But he is also dismissing, to some degree, that the player's ability to execute is tied directly to the coaching staff's performance.

    Missing from the discussion was his take on where the program is now and where he thinks it's headed. What does he think of Sarkisian and Co.?

    Jamal's silence in this article speaks volumes.

    I don't even remember where this particular gem originated, but it always reminds me of PurpleMuncher/PeopleMuncher whatever his name was. Did he ever resurface?

    I actually originated that on Doogman way back in the day, directed at him.

    I assume that he is blykmyk44 on Twitter.

    So when you were talking with Jamal, was he reading straight from the doog handbook, or do you think he studied and memorized it beforehand?
