Oliver could not pitch. Or would not. He was hell on the keeper, but you need more than that. Next.Sure, I defend Collins when people say obviously false nonsense.
For example, CPJ was recruiting offensive linemen. Oliver was clearly functional running the option.
Johnson got commits from 2 OL when he probably needed 5 after letting the position slide. Where are those two players now? We don't even know for sure if Johnson recruited them or they just said they were coming. Collins honored the other commits. Not them, which casts doubt on their reality.
Johnson also let defensive line slide the coupla years before he left. Those two positions take harder work to recruit than undersized running backs.
I think he was planning his exit strategy and wanted the next coach to look bad so his acolytes would say, "Oh Pawl wudda won with that team. Wish we still had Pawl!" Maybe so. Maybe no. But there is no evidence that contradicts it.
