have said. I've only heard of a few players that haven't appreciated Howell, and those seemed more like personality or playing time conflicts, not coaching complaints per se. But it seems that the CB coaches have determined that everything bad that happens on the defensive side of the ball is due to Howell.

I'll believe players that know the game well and/or have been coached by him stating he is a great coach. I'm not a student of the game, I don't understand defenses extremely well and I'm guilty of following the ball on most plays, so I'll defer to people that do know what they're talking about. Harvey is one.
