I clearly remember there was no training table and the defense would lose an average of 15 lbs. as the season went on. You can't win like that.

He also (and the geeks can correct me on this) apparently didn't recruit for depth or in the right positions. But he was successful in everything he did before that. I believe had he been given a couple more years he would have turned it around.
