Al Saunders on the way out?

[JLee9718]

I'd like to see Saunders stay, but I think Joe Bugel, Don Breaux, Rennie Simmons, and Jack Burns probably should go. I read the article in the Washington Post that said they would like to stay, but the new coach should choose his own assistants. If Willams gets the job, they'll probably stay, but their loyalty is with Joe Gibbs. I like those guys, but we need new ideas, especially on blocking schemes. If the Giants can win two playoff games with Eli, then we need manor changes. So I'd give Saunders one more year to produce. He did a fairly good job until Seattle came along, but the offensive line just didn't give the QB any help in that game.

No one will ever accuse me of being an Advocate for Al Saunders (although I do create alliteration without even meaning to sometimes) , but I think that if he wants to stay and if Williams (or whoever) doesn't object then he should stay. Why? First, it improves the chances that we keep Collins. I think that if Saunders leaves, Collins is as good as gone. We need him here as either The Man or as an Uber-Backup. Second, Jason Campbell seems to have a positive relationship with Al. I'm not convinced that Al's system is the best for Jason's skill set, but I would hate to start over only to find out that he's even less suited to some new system. If keeping Al proves impossible, then I say promote Lazor and try to maintain as much continuity in the offense as possible.
