Spurrier wanted to divide work up with everyone. He thought that the O line coach specializes in O line so he lets the O line coach do his thing. So on and so on. That Guy was completely correct in saying he needs a new coaching staff to succeed. If Spurrier had the coaching staff we have now we would have been in the playoff's last year.

Believe me, there weren't exactly a ton of openings this off season. Jim Fassel was demoted to Offensive Coordinator of perhaps the worst overall offenses in football.

I want to see what happens when Wandstat is fired. Spurrier may get a shot in his native Florida with a semi-patient owner/fan base. He had 2 years, hardly enough time to turn the ship around. More wins than Jimmy Johnson and Bellicheck in their first two years.

As far as bringing in Florida guys, you're right. I mean, who does that? Oh, EVERYONE. Parcells, Bellicheck, Jimmy Johnson, and so on. You bring in players that are famillier with you and your system. It's how the game works.

For my previous job, I was in fact in the locker room and around Redskins Park often. And Spurrier, who I think has the tangible skills to succeed, had the mentality of someone who simply did not want to be with the Redskins let alone anywhere in the DC area. Say what you will about Marty but he was involved in every aspect of the organization, he cared about what was going on and he truly wanted to make an impact. At least that's the impression I got being around him. I, and many others, simply did not get that feeling from Spurrier.

As for him being successful if he had the coaching staff we had now. I don't know what that's supposed to mean. Spurrier had the staff he wanted, it's not like he said I want X coaches and he got Z coaches.

Much respect though to Daseal for standing by his man
