Basically, I'd just like to see Gregg get the job, Saunders to call the plays and Blache to be defensive coordinator. Aside from the intangibles that Gibbs had, this would be about the same team as last year and at least keep team morale high and rebuilding low.

Well, I want to keep it internal too, for consistancy, but we are all assuming that Gregg can turn us into a super bowl bound team, and that's far from a fact. So far, GW has shown us he is a good DC only, not a good head coach. You can throw out the numbers if you want, but he was not successful as a HC. The comparison of Phillips and GW is not a good one cause Phillips was actually successful in his previous tenures. Including going 29-19 with those same Bills in 3 seasons (98-00). He also had a winning record with the Broncos back in 93, and in 5 full seasons (not including this year), he had only 1 sub .500 season (7-9 in 94). Phillips proved himself to be a success as a HC at the NFL level.
