You could have coached those guys to the same level.
So wrong AND no sense.....ha-ha!
I didn't think he was anything special at all.

Actually it was -84 mid season and he left after '88. Remember they won their first game under Carson in Pittsburgh 51-0 in '89 and we had the genius coach we so desperately needed!! His genius faded very quickly through the season but they still squeaked into the playoffs, then in '90 Bud went 3-13 and didn't last the year. Then you know who came in '91! and we were introduced to "diminishing skills". (he was actually right about that.) Marty was without question the 2nd best Cleveland coach in my lifetime. I was born in the Blanton Collier era so he obviously was number 1. After him, Marty was easily the next best. Forrest Gregg went to a Super Bowl when he left Cleveland and Belichick won 3, but in Cleveland not that good.
