So if you think these backup bums sucked this year, wait till next year if we don't get new personnel. If it weren't for Bugel, Jason Campbell would probably be dead.

I'm not so sure about a drop off at O line coaching. I think Bugel was part of the problem telling the front office that he was good with what he had and did not push them to draft O line. I think he probably said something like this "we are Ok with the O line if we can just pick up a guy or two" and he thought he could then coach them up. While he could coach them up its not like it was back in the 80's.

Yeah man, I was there and heard him say that too.

It's hard to say though after moves like Bridges.. was that Bugel's decision.. was Bridges just not fitting in.. or what?

Then the whole Montgomery starting over Rhino.. maybe it was his time, but he's brought us way more good than he could've ever harmed us.
