Dickie left this team in sorry-ass shape for the future, and you can bet that if thought he could get anything else out of them, he would have stuck around. His "legend" would have been tarnished with what his offense turned into, though.

It's kind of funny in that Vermeil really not only ruined our defense, but also ruined our offense by not making it a priority to build for a future that he would not be around here for. Very convenient.
