I think he came in aggressive with 4 FA additions. Overall we got our $$ worth, but conversely it was those contracts that limited us going forward. I guess you could say he blew his *** in one fell swoop. B-
Aside from that we’ve got three drafts.
2019 he hit with Rashan, Savage, Elgton at the top B+ A- overall.
2020 He led with the replacement for Aaron and in doing so, divided the fan base, upset his Star QB and sent ruffles through the ranks. From a general consensus around the league and in the public eye, it was controversial at best. We won’t know what the direct to indirect cost of that move was entirely until Love gets opportunities to prove his worth. Obviously it’s unfair to grade him fully, but as of now production grades in the C- range are reasonable imo. That could change in dynamic fashion based on Love’s success or decline.
2021 brought a more safe approach by going after a position needs. It’s likely several players from this class earn (ultimately) starting roles at worst.
It’s early but I’d give him a B grade early in.
I think a large part of the grade is the Final exam. we have to grade our success at the outcomes of the seasons that are complete. A pair of NFC appearances and 13-3 records. A- grades.
Overall, Brian gets a B to B+ grade +-
Certainly not a firm argument to put him on academic probation because of a minor domestic dispute on campus. Now his grades may slide in 2021, but it’s unreasonable to grade someone using projection based on 1 bad test score to open the semester.
I think we could’ve done much worse.
