On the one hand you appreciate the honesty, but on the other hand I think I’d want my coach to lie for me. It didn’t affect Manuel’s draft stock, because he was drafted higher than most people expected, but maybe NFL teams should have listened to Fisher.
Jimbo Fisher was glowing about EJ Manuel as a man, but very open and honest with teams about how limited he felt Manuel was as an NFL QB.
