sullim4 Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 Wow. I am pleasantly shocked. Has Ralph really let go of the reigns?
Lori Posted January 29, 2010 Author Posted January 29, 2010 EXACTLY!!! He was wrongly fired. Oh and a side note....Wasn't it Ralph who demanded he be fired or Wade would get canned? If Nix wasn't really running this team now...how is it Ralph would be ok with DeHaven coming back? Something to think on.... Phillips WAS fired because of a STs coach (Ronnie Jones a year later), but to be honest, I can't remember if Ralph was all that vocal about the MCM. More likely, he would have been bitching about the refs... Good read on DeHaven from back then: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/art...20297/index.htm
SDS Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 What is asinine about the whole situation is that Wade wouldn't go to the mat for Bruce, but laid down in front of the bus for Ronnie Jones- or whoever that clown was he wouldn't fire at Wilson's insistence.
Bufcomments Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 I like it, smart move by Gailey. Now if he can find other Steve Tasker we maybe on to something here on Special Teams
Bob in STL Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 I agree. And can't figure out why he would even consider coming back. Why not. He liked it here. He needs a job. We have good Special Teams now and most likely the new HC will give him players to work with, unlike Wade, who treated special teams as a lesser evil.

Ronnie was a friend of the family. In fact, Wade's son Wes was the QBs coach under Jones at West Texas A+M until Jones got the ax.

Our special teams have been tops in the league overall for 3 of the past 5 years. I like DeHaven, hoping he can keep it up. He has huge shoes to fill in Bobby April.
duey Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 Good move that helps this team as well as rights a wrong.
Enemarty Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 Our new staff is begining to grow on me + 1.
DC Tom Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 Why not. He liked it here. He needs a job. We have good Special Teams now and most likely the new HC will give him players to work with, unlike Wade, who treated special teams as a lesser evil. As far as I'm concerned, any coach who would sign with this train wreck of a franchise is showing bad judgement of a kind I wouldn't necessarily want in a coach. Doubly so for a coach that is RE-signing after being fired ten years ago for a single play.
leh-nerd skin-erd Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 I like it, smart move by Gailey. Now if he can find other Steve Tasker we maybe on to something here on Special Teams that wendling kid has some promise.

VanCity Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 Put me in the happy camp. I liked him while he was here, MCM not withstanding. Bobby was a big loss, but Bruce is the most positive replacement out there in my eyes.
DarthICE Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 I wonder if he can get Parrish to STFU and just be a special teamer? IMHO all his problems this last year are because he was pissed about not being a WR. Hopefully we can either trade Roscoe for something good or turn him back into a premier return man.

reddogblitz Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 My main gripe on DeHaven's decision on the Music City Forward Lateral was that dumb kick coming down at the 25 yard line. Played right into their hands. A deep kick and they have no chance at that nonsense or even a California State lateral type runback. I'll never forgive that. But if Leodis and Roscoe run a few back and we have good kick and punt coverage plus a few nice fakes that work thrown in, I can rethink this.

nucci Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 I agree. And can't figure out why he would even consider coming back. Needs a job?
Buftex Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 YAWN....if only you people would learn to listen to me... Post #33, btw! DeHaven has been in town since Tuesday.... http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/index.php?...20&start=20
