The past 12 months or so have reinforced that he's still just the same guy that Al Davis fired 20 years ago. All the talk of "growth" and "maturity" were just empty PR slogans so he could complete his public image rehab.
I seriously liked him for a minute at Ole Miss. You're 100% correct, though. He hasn't changed, and in this new era, he's probably gotten worse.

As a head coach, he has a couple of pre Covid C-USA championships at FAU. A good portion of the guys on that roster were there because of Charlie Partridge, FWIW. Otherwise, he's won a Peach and Gator Bowl.

He also won the first USC Tarmac Prize.

I hate this drunk asshole


The funny thing is that they were rewarded. They remained in the AP top ten despite a lackluster performance against UTEP and weak wins over SJSU and Sam Houston until they lost to unranked Florida. If OSU loses to U of I and gets blown out by Indiana they shouldn't get in either, despite the "reward" for playing Texas in the nonconference.

Whether they had 2 or 3 losses, they were consistently one of the highest ranked _ loss teams in the country. Ultimately the highest ranked 3 loss team. Above USC, Vanderbilt, Michigan, Arizona, Houston etc for a reason.
