The Coaching/Front Office Carousel

"By the time we got there, they sucked. They were old, no young talent, no nothing. I've coached on two expansions teams in Carolina and with the Texans, and our roster on defense when I was hired (by the Bears) was worse than those expansion team defenses"

Geezus Vic, try not to beat around the bushes.

Wish more coaches were open and honest like that.

Being honest will net them a first HC job in their 60's

Anyone see that Tim Rattay will coach Alex Smith possibly in Washington?

he is probably a good coach just like ken dorsey.. way below average qbs but those are the type that make the best qb coaches in my opinion. montana and young would not make good coaches and montana was a disaster as a tv in studio guy while young thrives in that area. weird

...and not just in your opinion. Most of the best coaches were not the very physically gifted guys but guys who had to constantly work hard, study games and technique, just to stay in the league, if they even got that far. They understood HOW the game had to be played and the importance of teaching it.

Guys like Sean Payton who kicked around the arena league and Europe had to learn everything he could just to pay the bills. Now he is one of the most innovative and successful coaches in the league.

Bill Belichick played center and tight end in high school but nothing above that and he is regarded as one of the best ever.

Mike Vrabel is another guy who was never a star but made it through hard work and appears on his way to a successful HC career as well.

The list is long...

I'll add Kyle Shanahan, Don Shula, and Bill Walsh to the list.

Yep, those as well.

I was only trying to stay relevant.

You can already see that the Bengals are going to be an absolute disaster. They even have college defensive coordinators turning them down.

I effing love this guy. That certainly blows the presumed theory that the Bears had all this talent initially and a two year head start on us (albeit partially true).
