[QUOTE="Calvin, post: 1474903, member: 4069"] Actually, I think it had a lot to do with personnel. Zook recruited some serious talent. Even when they lost, there were highlight reel plays, and a sense of optimism that we could win the next game. With Zook, draft day was fun, reliving all those highlights. Turner, IIRC, road Kurt Kittner to a lot of his wins. You can certainly give credit to Turner, but I felt Kittner was one of the smartest guys we've had at QB in my years as a fan, and deserves a big share of the credit. Perhaps that's a poor reason for giving Turner less credit, since he was such a QB specialist, but it made me think less of him after all those losses without him. [/QUOTE]
