I was never even trying to do a comparison to Howell.
Does he have a better body of work than Sitake? What about Gary Anderson? What about Matt Wells? What about any number of DC's that have been at their jobs for 5+ years.
My point has always been 9 games does not make anyone the hottest/greatest thing since sliced bread so a panic hire because some people on CB want to dress him up as such (hottest/greatest) is ridiculous...
