I could never see where Jerry Gray did anything to make the players we had better, which in my opinion is what a coaches responsibility is. He had players (Landry) playing out of position, CB's playing too far off receivers and no versatility to his game plans, he played each and every team the exact same way, passive and predictable.

Does anyone think that Jim Mora Jr. would be a possible candidate to replace Jerry Gray as the secandory coach?

I doubt it since he was a D coordinator since 99.

That would worry me. Not because he wouldn't do a good job, but with Haslett on board we already have one former head coach serving as an assistant. Throw in a Mora plus Shanahan, and I worry about the "too many cooks in the kitchen" cliche. That's a lot of egos on one sideline.

Understandable, but what about surrounding yourself with good people? Gibbs had Bugel and Williams in his second stint, both of whom had HC experience. I don't exactly see anyone banging down his door right now to co-ordinate their defense. Taking a reduced role might be a good thing for him rather than taking a year or so off. Then again, he might just land that head coaching job in the college ranks that he has been looking for. Tennessee maybe? I know that he really wants to coach the Huskies though.

Well, Gibbs didn't exactly have huge success with Williams or Bugel either. Surrounding yourself with good people is obviously smart. But remember when we had Bugel, Williams, Gibbs, and Saunders? You essentially had 4 head-coach caliber guys. We were terrible that year. Too many cooks so to speak. Hiring an all-star staff name-wise isn't necessarily the best thing for the team.

If Sarkisian had left Washington to go back to USC, I'm pretty sure Mora would be the coach of the Huskies.

Then he could have said thanks to Pete Carrol for getting him fired.

Cannot bag on me for something that I didn't know. Thanks for the info smartass! I meant that in the most respectfull way.

Well, the teams that Hasslet coached seemed terrible , at least Grey had a couple great years as Defensive Coordinator.

How many linebacker coaches do we need?

ESPN just said Nolan is out over in Denver. That was a bit of a surprise to me.

Wow, McEgo sure is bringing down the hammer. I can't wait to see him crash and burn next year.

I am not predicting it in anyway, but I wouldn't be surprised if he had Zornesque 2nd season. I looked at a Broncos site when we brought Turner over, to get a feel for if they were upset about losing him, etc, and one thing I noticed was how eerily similar a feel their site had to the Warpath last year at this time, some of the comments were true deja vu moments.

Same here, how do you think I knew about the name McEgo Still you're probably right to trust your gut in this case. I mean lets look at the similarities.

- Both won 6 games in the first half of their first season
- Both had rosters built mainly by Super Bowl winners (ie Gibbs and Shanahan)
- Both were considered QB guru's.
- Both were young (well if you believe the perception of Zorn around here you would have thought he was 40).
- Both got embarrassed by the Steelers at home on MNF which seemed to be the turning point of year 1 for both coaches.
- Both finished 8-8 at the end of their first year.

Still I feel sorry for Denver fans. They deserve better:
