Another guy from that Tampa Bay coaching staff was Mike Tomlin.

I mean, just b/c they have connections doesn't mean they are bad. To me, Barry was an unknown that didn't seem to have people banging on his door, couple that with his Detroit experience and the ties with BA from Tampa, well it makes me nervous.

To me, the key is can he scheme for what we have and develop players through his position coaches.

As others have said, this is on Jay. I think he gets this year and he probably knows it. If he and Barry don't show improvement on the field, then McC hires a new coach next year (warning: McC's replacement for Mike Nolan was Mike Singletary - not exactly a HOF coaching candidate).

Crossing my fingers, will wait and see, but just not getting my hopes up.
