The coordinators

[Schneed10]

I can see why Gruden made Pettine one of his first interviews. Pettine clearly has a philosophy of being aggressive, yet minimizing the information that he throws at his players. Gruden of course saw what we saw this year, that the biggest problem was communication lapses.

It looked to me like Compton was spending an awful lot of time giving hand signals to the secondary and then turning to the other LBs and they just seemed to be staring at each other for far too long before each snap, and not spending enough time looking at the offense's formation.

I think the information wasn't being digested efficiently and so you had guys out of position.

I see the appeal of Pettine. Teaching in a way that lets guys know their job and just attack.

We still need talent but hiring him would make me happy.

I heard on ESPN 980 Cooley's show, not sure which show or which hour but it was Monday or Tuesday that a big gripe from the players were that the defensive calls were coming in late from the sideline. Cooley said this left the players scrambling around right up to the snap.

There's only one solution. McVay's turned into a liability. We need to call an exterminator.

Nah but seriously I would be fine with Pettine. Results aren't the most part of the equation, but they matter. The fact that he gets quick results is a good look.
