Not to mention, if you voted does that mean you are calling yourself a McD apologist? I refuse to be burdened with silly labels. I am not an apologist, nor am I carrying a pitchfork. This is a little too much like the dreaded “P Word” for me. Most people are rational and in the middle somewhere, but they are not the people we hear from the most. There are not just two sides to anything.
The funny thing is, if McD won a SB or two, I wouldn’t see him any differently. He gets no pass from me, no lifetime extension. I would judge how the team performs each week and over time. I wouldn’t say “LOOK! I was right!” I’d still be concerned about the shortcomings I see in his coordinator hires, among other things. Since the Frazier hire it’s mostly been clear underlings rather than established minds great on one side of the ball or the other. I’d rather not have guys trying to grow into the job. I don’t love everything about the guy, but I do appreciate the good that has come from his tenure. Hopefully he gets a ring, and I’ll of course be happy, but it’s a process that will continue to move forward.
