Re: The Coordinators

Is anyone else a little apprehensive about Blache?

I actually like that Blache has a mind of his own and will not be intimidated by Vinny & Danny. I do think there could be problems if they hire a defensive minded head coach like Meeks who would have more to say about the direction of the defense.

Nope. Blache has the experience and is well respected by the players. I'm more worried about the two tools that hired him.

He sounds pretty rough around the edges and we saw how that worked out with Lindsey and even Williams to an extent.

Re: The Coordinators

From the sounds of it, Blache won't be around too long anyways. However, it'll bring continuity to the defense for the next few years until he can mold his replacement.

Re: The Coordinators

I've got mixed feelings about Blache. On the one hand, he knows the system and the players and is well respected. On the other hand, I don't totally understand overhauling the top coaching positions and hiring a guy who is going to be gone in a year or so. That's a recipe for additional turnover.....something I could do without.

If Blache retires they can hire Jerry Grey. Grey has played in the league and has been a D/C.

I imagine that if Williams gets a head coaching gig next year one of the first calls he'll make is to Jerry Gray to lead his defense

And I would bet that Williams will be getting a call from the STL Rams.

he'll probably run jax's D next year, or find a job with the titans of some sort.

They could be going for gradual turnover here--trying to get from staff A to staff B without ripping it right out of the ground in a single year.

I do agree that by 2010, though Zorn/HC will still be here, Blache will not be.
