Who do YOU want to replace Norv and Co?

(In reality the only option is letting the 3rd and 4th rounders compete. Too heavily invested at the position to walk away without giving them a shot.)

Quit being serious, it's Tuesday.

Let Jammer walk. He only had a 7 year window to be converted to safety, and that window has since closed. His loss. LOL.

Rivers to shut down strong safety. Surely he'll show Bigby how to wrap up.

Legit questions for those advocating Whisenhunt (inspired by a conversation I just had off-line).

Whisenhunt has presided over three 6 game losing streaks the past three seasons. I'm also told that he makes a lot of the personnel decisions in AZ, including the one to bring in Kevin Kolb. Since Kurt Warner retired, they really haven't done a whole lot.

I think the Chargers need a serious kick in the ass, and perhaps he's the guy to do it. But what is the specific appeal? Is it his offensive prowess from his Steeler/early Cardinal days? I'm not knocking the choice, just looking for more justification from those who think he'd be a good fit. I don't disagree per se. Just want more knowledge.

The Aggies field goal/extra point kicker is horrible. Just horrible

There is a big difference between retreads, ala Norv who has never won where he went, and HC's who have proven they can win, ala Cowher, Gruden, and if they left on their own, or let go because of wanting too much money or just personality conflict.

At Tampa didn't Gruden win with Dungy's defense, and wasn't Gruden facing his own offense that he installed with the Raiders in the SB? Just asking.

So you are saying Gruden installed the offense that got one team to the super bowl and the only reason he was able to do well against it, was because he knew it so well?

Sounds like an arguement for him, his offense was good enough to win, and intricate enough to fool the opposistion.

i haven't any good recommendations for coach, but that's not my job. my job is to buy tickets, merchandise, etc. so that the team's coffers remain reasonably healthy. i have no plans on buying the aforementioned until i see some progress with the organization. i dunno, just a few thoughts.

Very well said.

Of course it was Dungy's team, that Gruden retooled, and made the parts play good enough to win a SB. Gruden also lost another 1st and 2nd round pick in the next year.

Im not saying get Gruden, but if someone takes over next year and we go to a Superbowl, will you say "Yeh, but it was AJ and Norvs team?

Sounds to me like that Fl weather is making some people think well !

Jeff Tedford from Cal is looking for work now.

I never understood the "Gruden beat his old team in the SB so he doesn't get full credit" argument. He still had to get there, and clearly getting to a SB isn't particularly easy, as evidenced by the San Diego Chargers franchise.

The rest of his tenure in TB notwithstanding.

Sort of like the "Norv's time in Washington can't be held against him because he had a meddling owner in Daniel Snyder and no one could have a lot of success in that situation" line. Always brings a chuckle.
