I think Netflix edits the coverage it shows to portray him a certain way to tell a story.Mikeyshooter said:
Am I crazy for kinda liking JB? Thru episode 6 and he was pretty tame until the Iowa Western game.
Despite what is portrayed, I think he's a solid coach. He was the playcaller, and his players knew and understood his schemes. I think he was right in that Jason Martin had too many fronts, because their play on defense seemed to improve. His telling Martin 'to fit a damn front' when they were getting gashed by the run makes sense when viewed through that lens.
I think Martin thought he has so much talent, he went overly complex with his defense. JB basically told him to stop screwing around and simply things to one front.
I thought Martin's telling the players at practice "This is JB's thing" undermined the head coach and was bullsht. You're an assistant, either support the head man or quit.
