Blache announces his retirement

[freddyg12]

Blache is a character, gave the job some flare while not even liking to talk to the media. As a coordinator, I was always torn about his unit's performance. They seemed so solid at times, yet couldn't make big plays or get the crucial stops w/the game on the line. I know they usually had to take the field for too long due to the O's ineptness.

I really think that Blache's retirement was such a foregone conclusion that it had to affect the team's play. Hall said after the season that Blache didn't want to coach anymore. I think Blache was stubborn & stuck to his system too much. He probably was worn out w/the drama surrounding the team this year too.
