I was thinking the same thing earlier. This has a completely different feel than any that I can recall. Schottenheimer had some good assistants (son Brian) and some bad (Jimmy Raye), Spurrier had a jumbled mess with the exception of Marvin Lewis for one year (George Edwards anyone?), Gibbs didn't inspire any confidence with the Grumpy Old Men (seriously, Rennie Simmons and Jack Burns) and let's not even discuss the Zorn assistants process.
Shanny is clearly building an organization with a plan in place to build around a scheme rather than hodge-podging guys together. I love the pairing of Haslett and Spanos in being able to teach and coach the guys the same way.
I'd prefer April to another year of Danny Smith but JLC is reporting we didn't allow him to interview for other positions so he'll likely be back.
