Objectively, would you rather have Archie or Underwood than Collins right now? I’m not suggesting either Underwood or Archie is perfect. They’re not, and the odds are that both will leave their respective schools after being fired. But there is no way you can suggest that Collins has any business being a HC in the Big Ten.
And before you get too excited, I went to NU and got my BS there. I have a soft spot for the Wildcats and would like to see them not be an embarrassment. But Collins is a bad coach. There’s not a logical argument to the contrary. And don’t tell me it’s an admissions problem, because Fitz has found a way to not suck despite recruiting to the same standards, and he’s not Bear Bryant.
