Sorry, but that makes more sense than hiring a guy who's been given opportunity after opportunity and had mixed to bad results every time. None of his successes at Boise, ASU, or Jackosnville say that this is the guy that can beat the Saints or the Packers.

So I guess you wouldn't be happy unless we signed Sean Payton or Mike McCarthy as our OC. You expected us to magically grab some known offensive guru that is easily projected to do better than our already great offense has been. Shit like that doesn't happen. Great offensive or defensive coaches move on to head coaching jobs and are still able to work their magic and influence their area of expertise. It is very rare to find an elite football coach that is willing to stay in a coordinator role for long.

Did you seriously just say that it is the job of an OC to beat another offense? This is just crazy talk. Especially considering that both those teams are out of the playoffs, JUST LIKE WE ARE!
