Howell, or more importantly, do not respect his abilities. There is no evidence that all of "his players" think he's the mother's milk, as you suggest. Some who have been forced to comment publicly say they respect him. Of course, those who do not cannot comment in the same way. But the results of last year, including disunity and calling on Bronco to make a change, suggest that Howell does not have the respect you attribute to him.
