And the offense couldn't consistently knock people off the ball? I honestly could not disagree more.

Not when it counted, they couldn't. That was not an offense built for a close game in the 4th quarter, trying to hold the ball to win. Come from behind, keep a shootout close, sure. But they were kind of the anti-marty, exact opposite problem he had. If we could find a way to blend Marty and Dick, we'd have the perfect coach.

There isn't anyone on this board who disliked Grandpa more, but saying his teams were soft is just plain inaccurate.

Sorry, bud, but that's my opinion, and it ain't changing...
I've felt that way for years. That team was all about mind-games, rather than going out and just beating the other team. That's what I mean when I talk about toughness. Chess matches over football. Big stats over winning.
