Yup I agree. Chris Kelsay is useless. He hasn't improved, and brings nothing to the table. He's not a compliment type or "playing within his role" he just sucks. Give me Denney over him all the time. An Upgrade there is needed. Jerry Gray will end up in d.c before too long.

Poor guy I almost want him to be right for once. I'm still holding out hope for Jim Bates, but if sopranos recent average tells us anything it's not likely to happen

I dont understand the big deal. This guy is just as good a choice as anyone else out there. Jim Caldwell isn't exactaly responsible for the colts offense, he's just kinda been dungys lackey. Who was out there that was a can't miss coordinator? We need a run focused offense, so what better way then to hire a former rb coach to be our new offensive coordinator? Bitching for the purpose of bitching is useless time spent. Good hire, on the surface it seems at least we're trying to establish an idenity to this team.

thanks for the info. I knew the rams playcalling was more balanced while leaning heavier on the run game compared to mike martz, but thanks for the exact #'s. I think fairchild is a pretty good hire.

That he's straight foward. He seems like a guy who means what he says and says what he means. He doesn't make outlandish promises, he just tells you he's gonna try to do all he can. He seems to set a starting point for realistic expectations. He's not flashy. He doesn't come here with a lot of hub cause of some flashy offense, or air raid training camp. He seems pretty blue collar no nonsense kind of coach. So far so good, now lets see how he rounds out his staff.

funny it should mention this, apparantly no one did more to boost their draft status then Gabe Watson. http://www.draftdaddy.com/blog/blog.cfm About 3/4ths down the page

No it was a locker room incident with I believe one of the 49ers coaches I think their dline coach. Suppousedly he pretended to rape him. This was many many years ago.

given the chance to get washington back for 1 more year, and drafting ngata and having a dt rotational system or Adams/Washington/Ngata/Anderson or Edwards I'd jump all over that. Big Ted may be long in the tooth, but he's still an immovable object, and imo the best runstopping dt to ever play. Well at least that I'd ever seen play. I'd take him for a year, and like someone else said if nothing else it just goes to show that jauron will get respect from his players.

I find it amusing that people say "Willis was faster in 2004" I dont buy it for a second. For one thing we had consistency at quaterback, say what you want about bledsoe all you want, but hes better then losman and is a threat to stretch the field unlike holcomb so teams wont stack the line. Our offensive line was also better in 2004 then this past year. Jonas jennings, Ross Tucker, Teague, a healthy villariall, and a healthy mike williams. Our offense still wasn't great but they got a lot of shortened fields to work with, and having some form of consistency at quaterback enabled a lot of mm's gadget plays to work, shorter fields also equaled more redzone opportunites for willis and a better line= more tds. Personally I think he was faster this year then 2005, discouting the middle of the season with the qb switch,the oline injuries, looking at the beggining of the year to the 1st ne game and the last jets game I think he was quicker this year. With all that said it was a good watch and yes we have to find more ways to use Lee Evans. We also need a te to work the middle of the field and be a receiveing threat for us in the event we lose moulds.

Woe is us Theres a reason no one has knocked down Shermans door either. Give it a rest already some of you people are ridiculous. I get it he sucked in chicago. Maybe he'll do good here maybe he wont, but I wont have a pitty party about not hiring another coach no one else wanted. I'll leave it up to be seen. Now back to your pitty party

I could care less about JP Losman. If he gives us our best chance to win great, if not oh well, and I'm not losing sleep over it. You play when you're ready to, if the coaching staff doesnt think he is, well thats the call. I want a coordinator with a run based philosophy, but realizes you have to adjust to your opponents defense in order to be succesful. Maintin a balance, but while leaning on the run game as our idenity. On Defense I want a coordinator like my offensive coordinator who dictates his schemes to how the opponent is playing. None of this "system coaches" Just good coordinators who can adjust. I'd like Jim Bates or Jim haslett for a defensive coordinator, for oc I really have no idea.

Seems no one bothered to contact al saunders and for pretty good reason, He's not held in high regards in nfl circles. He's considered media savvy, but generally a backstabber, and a snake when it comes to coaching. And just for the record. I was big time in the hire Al Saunders camp. http://www.kansascity.com/mld/kansascity/sports/13682142.htm Mooch was also considered by no one. He did nothing with superbowl caliber 49ers team. and even less with the lions. I'm not saying I support the Jauron move. I'm just saying dont jump to conclussions. What seem like easy no brainer choices well it's not always cut and dry. Jauron could turn out to be good, or he could suck, but I know it's far to early to jump to conclussions about him, before giving him an opportunity.

I'm sure favre would've mentored losman the same way he said this past season he's not playing to be a mentor to aaron rodgers

That would've been neat like 6 years ago. FAVRE IS DONE... get over it.

The NFC North Afc East AFC South Sd and I think Baltimore so we get to play packers, lions, jets 2x, texans. 4 new head coaches. Mangini twice

Now thats the jam

Gregg Williams was given 3 years, Mike Mularkey quit after 2 years. I personally think they should be given 5 years. Anything less just seems too short to implement a system and the players you want, and then by firing said coach after 2-3 years you end up with a coach carousel making it harder it would seem to bring in their staff, their system and lure in free agents while trying to win now. Just curious what everyone else thinks is the approriate time frame a coach should have.

as far as I know caldwell isnt an offensive coordinator he's a qb coach/assistant head coach with indy for the past 4 years, before that he was with dungy in tampa, and was a head coach at wake forrest.

I dont get the big deal about caldwell? I'd love Capers as a defensive coordinator though.

I chose other. I'll give it time. I didn't think sherman was anything that great either, so either way I'd feel iffy about it.

I'm sure the head coach has some say in who his team drafts. They are in on the process as far as I know.

Jesus wouldn't sell his soul to satan to win a superbowl, and he's too loyal to his guys, but he is high character, he would sacrifcie himself for his team. He strikes me more a passifist though

Jauron inherited Wannestedts 4-12 teams and in 3 seasons improved the bears to 13-3. 2002 was an injury riddled year for the bears. 2003 Jauron bounced back with some nice draft picks, and brought the bears to a 7-9 record and was ousted by Jerry Angelo cause Jauron wasn't "his guy". Jauron however is responsible for the following players Ian Scott, Alex Brown, Brian Urlacher, Lance Briggs, Mike Brown, Adrian peterson, Rex grossman. Who's to say if they stuck with Jauron he couldn't have improved on his 2003 showing?

Give the guy a chance. As I remember Levys record wasn't so hot before coming here. (31-42) At least give the guy awhile to assemble a staff.

I dont see a problem. Jauron is a smart defensive minded coach, and well it's a proven fact in the nfl defense wins championships. I'll sit back now and wait to see who ends up on his staff, before commenting further
