I don't remember anyone attacking HB, but the truth is that Clark played very poorly early on. We didn't really know that his poor play was due to the nerve issue until later in the season.
Without making his injury known, the people who criticized him were only doing so based on what they knew at the time.
I also think that most everyone realized that it was going to take time for the defense to pick up an entirely new system. However, it was still frustrating to see them performing at Bob Sutton levels of suck. We lost 3 consecutive home games, and that was tough to watch.
But, even with the defense coming to life late in the season, and helping to win the SB, I can't see anyone hiring Spags as a HC. He was absolutely inept with the Rams.
Defensive Coordinators like Spags and Gunther, and offensive coordinators like Weiss and McDaniels, are the epitome of the Peter Principle.
