I always liked Salisbury's football commentary.
He wasn't afraid to criticize.
Sometimes, though, I thought he criticized too harshly.
If a Steve Young or Troy Aikman criticizes a starting NFL quarterback, I give them more leeway considering their on-field accomplishments and Hall-of-Fame credentials.
With Salisbury, you knew he struggled at the professional level.
It's a similar situation when former NFL head coaches Tony Dungy or Bill Cowher talk about in-game strategy.
No no no.
I prefer the opinions of coaches like college football's Urban Meyer or college basketball's John Beilein, guys who practiced what they preach.
