But I get it. In the social media age, it is all about "winning the argument" rather than admitting a flaw in it.
Elliot had a couple of years each as WR coach at two very small programs before going to Clemson, where he served as RB coach for three years before being promoted. Rees spent a couple of years at Northwestern and with the Chargers in the NFL before going back to ND to be QB coach for three years before getting promoted. Elliot is FAR MORE COMPARABLE to Rees than to your other examples of O'Brien and Wilson. It isn't disputable.
I guess you need this for some reason, so knock yourself out. I'm not here to have an open forum type discussion on the football board. I like talking honestly with people about ND football. Thankfully there is some of that here still.
