Man, I'm really surprised by some of my posts in that thread. My recollection was that I was sour on hiring a retread coach but quite the opposite.

Maybe I'm just insane. ROFL

Spags?

I know he failed miserably as a HC, but he loved the aggressive, attacking, 4-3 fronts in NYG. He was a good LBs coach in Philly. He learned Jim Johnson's schemes and incorporated them well in NY. Then he went to STL and failed pretty badly. And as an interim HC, he still failed pretty badly. But when he went back to DC in NO, they recovered nicely and finished the year much better.

Yeah, he got ripped by a NOLA player recently, but players are idiots and someone's always bitching.

I think Spags would be a really nice fit as a DC here.

If you want the next Jim Johnson, Spags is as close as they come.

Here's a funny one...



Yet by the time we actually hired him, I'd talked myself off him in a pretty big way.

We're just gonna pretend like this was my opinion from start to finish...

A good majority of this board HATED that Spags hire.

BleedingRed was adamant about hiring Rex Ryan and bled all over the board for weeks.

I would think that if Reid came here.....he'd be all about locking up Bowe and Albert. He'd also get his pick with whatever QB was in this draft.

I don't see him going after someone like Alex Smith or even Michael Vick. I'd like to think that he knows that Vick is pretty much done in the NFL.

It's ok. I thought he was going to draft Geno Smith #1 Overall.

Oh. I wanted Reid, Dorsey, and Rivera for DC according to that thread.

At some point, we're going to have to discuss the brilliance of the run game in the Super Bowl. It was absolutely incredible across the board. Props to the staff for putting together a master plan for this game.
