Wow. Combine his attack style with Brees and that offense, and that team could be VERY dangerous in two years. They're already competitive now on the strength of the offense alone.

Yea I thought it was stupid of the Jags to let him go. No team picks up his defense any sooner then 2 yrs and they usually suck the first yr. They will be a great team in 2 yrs so long as the offense can last that long.

Kinda had a small sincere soft spot for the gold helmet's and crosses. LOL. I always felt like they were the Lions. Good to see they have over come their losing yrs.

I'm curious? Why the hell did he get fired in Washington? No one has been able to explain that to me? We were a defensive team centered around the run while he was here, he had for the most part a good record, and the players liked him and respected him.
With consistency being important for our team why did Dan not hire him for the head coach and bring in Z? I liked Greg Williams especially when he chewed out mister "I didn't make any mistakes" for fumbling the football.
I like Z but I think we'd be a better team if GW was the head coach now IMO. If anything Z could've been brought in as the Offensive coordinator and GW could've been HC?
Stick with what's working and try to improve what isn't? That's just me. I try to make things simple and easy to understand.

Unlikely. In Jax he was working for a defensive-minded head coach in Del Rio who had his own way of doing things. The fit wasn't great, GW's schemes didn't always jive with Del Rio's. Not unlike the Gibbs/Saunders pairing on offense.

GW is going back to coaching with an offensive minded coach (Payton). He'll be given total control over his D. I'll bet he rips it up in no time.

I agree with both statements,you're right if you're home shut up and cheer for someone but I see his point do I think we're better but when push came to shove ...we lost ,the name of the game is to move on to the next level,all but 4 teams failed.
