So Jerry Gray wasn't a good Defensive Coordinator? Should we just forget the fact that we had one of the top defenses in the league while he was here? Ranked 2nd overall in 04 and 05.
Considering what he had, Perry Fewell did a very exceptional job.
Steve Fairchild?
Kevin Gilbride?
Sam Wyche?
Minus the Titans playoff game, Bruce Dehaven has always fielded a nice special teams unit, regarded as one of the top in the league.
Bobby April? Don't forget he won Special teams coach of the year in 04 and 08.
Give me a break. We've had great unit and positional coaches here. It's just the guy that Ralph hired to call the shots sucked at it. Gregg Williams was power crazy, Mike Mularkey was Donahoe's puppet. Jauron was Wilson and Brandon's puppet.
I don't expect and don't care if we don't win a Super Bowl next year, but after a decade of crap, literally crap, percentage wise our best choice is to get a PROVEN guy. A guy who can at least lay down a solid and clear foundation to make us a contender again. And to where if he leaves, his protege can come in and assume the controls and continue to build a winning team. I don't care if it costs $12 million a year, Ralph owes it to the fans. As much as they've supported this team and continue to sellout home games after 10 years of no playoffs.
