The "stability" at the Steelers and Cowboys didn't work out too bad this year. McCarthy at Green Bay is only in his 2nd year and they did well. "Never Nervous" Norval did pretty well in San Diego this year.
Where is the "huge drop-off" in coaching talent, outside of Gibbs leaving? Zorn did a good job in Seattle with Hasselbeck, their offense has been solid and they did well this year with no running game. Blanche was a good DC in Chicago and was key in developing the gameplans here. As long as we make a solid HC hire we will be fine.
Also, looking at next years schedule I really don't see 6-10. There wil be a drop-off in Dallas, Parcells raided their coaching staff. I don't see the Eagles being a powerhouse. The 49ers won't improve much, neither will the Cardinals, St. Louis & Baltimore will struggle, the Saints, Browns & Lions are all inconsistent. I wouldn't book Super Bowl XLIII tickets just yet, but we will be fine.
