My guess is he would have done well here and certainly would have at least been better than Huff.

Like you said, fans are wrong most of the time. There is zero evidence that Lambert would have been anything other than a friendly, known hire. Nothing in his coaching history points to success as a head coach. At the very least Huff was part of a championship culture and used to winning. I don't know why he can't put together a decent offense and nothing pointed to that at the time of his hiring, but he was hands down the better choice of the two candidates we were allowed to choose from.
Blasting Navy and the Notre Dame win and this year's beating of VTech, who were no worse than the year they bribed us to play them for bowl eligibility and we lost, are wins that we have not had in our program in a long time. Sure, we'd like more hardware but it's not like we've gotten nothing for our trouble. I suppose we could always be 1-1 vs Purdue again, to get through a decade of bad football.
