The Giants had what looked like on paper the best d-line in the NFL by far going into the season. I had them picked to win the division with their D, like many others.

That didn't end well. If Coughlin was in charge of the defense, I don't trust him. They did have some injuries on D, but it was a massive failure.

I agree, although I think Coughlin is staying. I have a nagging feeling that Cowher ends up in New York, whether its in 2010 or 2011. As far as Fox goes, I don't get why Carolina has cooled on him. Living in NC, i can say that most panthers fans I know are happy with Fox (unless he were replaced by Cowher). The panthers were 12-4 last year, had a bye week, and lost to the NFC Champions. They really struggled with injuries this year, yet managed to finish 8-8, handily being teams that were fighting for playoff spots in the final weeks of the game. If Carolina can't land Cowher, I don't think they'll find a better head coach out there than Fox.

Buster, "Shanahan + Redskins = Lombardi"?

Are you trying to say that Shanahan is going to drop dead one year after coming out of retirement b/c of the stresses of coaching the Washington Redskins?

J/k, I really do hope that whatever formula for coaching Shanahan puts together, it will be successful. Ultimately though, I think his success will be determined by the success of his (and Bruce Allen's) picks.

I think the Texans will sign Denvers off line coach{Rick Dennison } today.I was hoping we would sign him.Alex Gibbs is too old and I think hes going to retire anyway

^BHC I'm not so sure about that one... if I can paid like a HC to coach here for a season, and not have the responsibilities to focus on the whole team only the defense, then have my choice of teams next year to coach why not?

According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, the Broncos will allow Turner to meet with the Redskins, and an interview is expected to occur this week.

Thats interesting. So whats with the whole "no you can't interview him" crap. Snyder have to pull some strings and talk to Denver's owner who put the HC in check?

If they pick up Dennison it will make me mad. It seems like they are picking up all the OL coach's that were used in Denver. Well I guess that just two. Alex Gibbs and Dennison. Any chance Houston lets A.Gibbs go and he comes to the Skins for 1 or 2 yrs. I know he's old but we need someone who can teach the zone/cut blocking scheme. Both Gibbs and Dennison know what Shanahan wants and knows how to get it done.

I still say we should hire Ray Brown.


Of course this is how most of you will remember him.

Apparently he's to the Bronco's what Joe Bugel is to the Redskins. Many people credit him with Denver's dominance in the running game.

well Turner is a RB coach at the moment as opposed to an OL coach

Dennison is the OL coach

I understand that. What I was saying was that the reputation that Bugel had for developing OL is similar to the prestige Turner had for developing running backs in Denver. In fact from most of the stuff I've read from both fans and media pundits was geared towards Turner getting the majority of the credit for the quality of Denver's running game.
