I agree with this entirely and will add something two aspects.
At the most pivotal moments of his career, he failed spectacularly. In the business world if you do very good work 90% of the time, maybe even great work, and at the pivotal moments in your business fall flat on your face, the other 90% is forgotten. You failed the big moments, thats not great for your career nor image particularly if you're the primary contact leading the enterprise. You'll be remembered for your failures not the rest of the 90%. In fairness, if there were signs that you would fail, multiple, and the CEO didn't put someone else in charge, a big part of it is on him too.
As for those who think fans here want him to fail in the NFL, you aren't reading the room. We are pointing out that the most critical assessors of Quinn's abilities side with OUR view rather that the raw raw Orange Glasses opinion that so many here have and continue to illustrate.
I won't speak for them all, but for myself, I WANTED to be wrong all along. I WANTED Quinn to lead us to a national championship, hell I bought tickets and had a room for the game. I'm in the minority here that actually attended the SEC championship game. I hoped Quinn and Sark would prove me wrong, but I was pretty damn sure my hope was misplaced and it turns out I was right.
I am pretty confident no Longhorn fan here actually wanted Quinn to fail. I don't know many fans that would rather be right and not see their team win a championship than be wrong and see it happen.
I don't think any fans here wanted Quinn to drop in the draft as it ultimately is a net negative for Texas Athletics. We weren't cheering that he was drafted late.
What we were cheering was the validation of a very long period of being shit on in this very forum for expressing concerns and issues regarding Quinns capabilities. Of being told over and over that Quinn was great, had no flaws and none of the failure fell to Quinn, rather time and time again nearly or completely by some that 100% of the blame for those failures were placed on his teammates. Never holding Quinn accountable.
And now, because we are grateful for that validation we are "hoping Quinn fails in the NFL, are ungrateful for what Quinn provided, told how dumb this thread is and that it should die", and that in essence we hate Quinn and any success he brought to Texas Athletics.
I don't, I dont think most posters here feel that way.
What we (or at least I) wanted was the validation of the concerns and issues we saw all season post Michigan. Over and over and over again. For which we were called haters, stupid and bad fans.
That's an extremely reasonable and rational desire.
For the record, I hope Quinn does amazing in the NFL, I would have like to have been wrong and seen him go higher in the draft, would have liked to have been wrong and have another NC trophy.
But I unfortunately I doubt he will, didn't and we don't.
