He also turned a 5 star QB into a mess. He loses his staff and players as an HC. Very good assistant when there is a Siberian HC, Saban and Belichick. Running his own program will end up a mess. Some guys aren’t good HCs. BoB is not a good HC.
Um, you may want to go back and take look. That 5 star QB, Christian Hackenburg, went on to set 10 freshmen records, named B1G freshmen of the year and was projected to be a 1st round draft pick under Bill O'Brien. The person that ruined him was James Franklin who came in after O'Brien left in 2013.
Saban loses staff all the time. So does Kirby Smart. So does Ryan Day. Good coaches get poached.
O'Brien was basically coaching with one hand tied behind his back at Penn State.
O'Brien has his personal flaws, and I'll always think less of him for how he threw George Godsey under the bus, but the man is a good coach.
