As I recall, both Favre and Aikman looked pitiful in their early play in the league.Guess what, he also coached Jake Delhomme who as I recall has been a consistent presence in the playoffs and SB the last couple years...but, Delhomme has a team around him...something Smith did not.As for Brooks....like squeezing blood from a stone...but McCarthy did get all ANYONE was ever going to get from him.Bottom line is that none of us know how this will turn our, but I like the fact he is:YoungPittsburgh tough, blue-collar guyDoesn't hold back on players or player groups when warrantedRespect of the players and coaches he has worked withPersonally, I like Mike Nolan as a coach and believe he has good insight into those he surrounds himself with. Have faith folks...and don't make up your minds until you have evidence that warrants your joy/anger.And remember, Holmgren was met with very mixed emotions when he signed on...that turned out pretty well.</blockquote>
