[QUOTE="BCJacket, post: 912325, member: 2332"] I don't think it's fair to criticize Key for [I]Collins[/I] hiring Long for two reasons: One, [I]Collins [/I]made the hire, not Key. We don't know what Key's role in the process was, but it was not his decision. We also don't know who else was a candidate for the job. Two, what's the [B]realistic [/B]metric for Long/Key this season, given the circumstances? It's not fair to compare the job Long has done against some imaginary ideal where he has different players, didn't have injuries to key players, didn't have an assistant resign, didn't inherit an offense from [the fired] Patenaude, and didn't have the HC fired 4 games into the year... and say he's failed. It's not like our offense was great last year and he's ruined it. It's just, just as bad. I don't think you can point at Key and say: The guy Key (supposedly) recommended didn't come in and, in half a season, fix all the problems Collins and Patenaude created over three years. So, Key isn't fit to be a head coach. Now, if in an interview with Batt for the permanent job, Key says he thinks Long did a great job, would want to keep him, give him a raise and extension. [I]That [/I]would be a problem. [/QUOTE]
