You won't be laughed out of a job when you take a terrible high school coach and give him control of a defense. It is just as big as a leap to take someone with only 6 wins over 3 years at the high school level and give them a defense as it would be to take an elite high school coach and give him an average mid-major program head coaching position. Howell DC much bigger laughs than someone like Peck as HC at the same program.
