I couldn't look at Hathaway as a coach and say, oh, man, look at that time at Boston College.
Because, again, in terms of what he had to deal with, he did a good job in developing guys because I mentioned Zay Flowers and A.J.
Dillon, and I'm probably even missing some guys that are in the NFL during his tenure.
So I think he did a good job in retaining players the best he could.
And like I said, trying to win a few games here and there.
So if you're looking at Hasley as a head coaching candidate, you just can't really look at Boston College.
I think more than anything, you could see that he did more with less.
But then he gets to the NFL with the Packers, and he has Devontae Wyatt, Micah Parsons, Xavier McKinney, Edgeron Cooper, and some talented players.
and they were really good defensively.
So I feel like he's the type of coach, when he has good players that can understand his system, he can have some success.
It's both.
I would say I wouldn't give him a complete pass for that.
But I do think it's no question Parsons was able to hide some of the issues defensively, in particular in the secondary.
It's clear that when the Packers released Jair Alexander, they would have some issues in the secondary.
They traded for Nate Hobbs.
who they hoped to play outside, and he dealt with injuries as well.
But when he did play outside corner, they didn't have some success.
So when you lost Devontae Wyatt in the interior, who was playing the best football of his career, and Parsons, you had an idea of what this defense was like.
And one thing that he did, you could tell he tried his best to hide the corners.
but you can only hide so much when you don't get pressure on the quarterback.
