And I think that would've been ok if we hadn't been hearing for two years how great of a recruiter Bumphis was and how great of relationship he had with Cunningham. I think if the fan boy media had just said from day 1, "it's going to be really difficult to get this kid because he's going to be one of the top receivers in the country" then people would've tempered their expectations. I mean at the end of the day, the frustration with Bumphis is due to Hadad and Faulk telling everyone how amazing he is and he craps gold. Like, he's a position coach who just happened to play here. If he didn't play here and hadn't had a podcast on Brian Hadad's old network, no one would care about Chad Bumphis. Because I don't really hear them clamoring for us to bring back Pernell McPhee, who should be our DL coach right now. Or why were they not foaming at the mouth to bring back Chaney? Those two set Bumphis up for failure.
