IMHO, OB is not quite the QB guru he is portrayed as. Wasn't he a DE for Brown back in his playing days? He gets into coaching and somehow works his way up to QB coach of the New England Patriots "coaching" Tom Brady. He goes from defense to offense (round peg, square hole) and it's a role an up-and-coming coach would gladly accept, no? Quite the pelt on the wall....
I think coaching is quite a bit like many other blue collar type jobs. Whether you're an electrician, pipe-fitter, car salesman, whatever, you'll make a lot of mistakes as you learn your trade. I made some doozies learning a couple of trades and it does take several years before one becomes competent - competent enough to fix mistakes on the fly and do the job right in a reasonable amount of time. Right now, I believe OB is still learning on the job and I think he's at a point where he should be turning the corner.....
