Another poster said essentially the exact same thing in another thread, but was funny to hear Stephen A Smith say it. Granted, I can't stand Smith, I did think he was pretty spot on when he answered questions about Harrison's remark in the presser and Cal's coaching.
Basically brushed off the Harrison remark, and said it was a teachable moment, but nothing should be made out of it (funny watching ESPN roll out all the AA staff to comment...waiting for Al sharpton to pop up on next round of sportscenter). THen when asked about Cal he talked about how he's an amazing recruiter, and gets his players to play together and buy into his "system." However, when it comes down to big coaching moments he is just not on the level of other HOF type coaches, and just hasn't shown the ability to lead a team with the exception of the Anthony Davis team (which required little to know effort on his part due to Davis' dominance).
The last remark was funny, too, as they mentioned how Cal was getting inducted into the HOF, but Ryan is not
