Of course, I'd feel good about our staff for the long term if it were Gregg Williams, Jerry Gray as DC, and Al Saunders as OC. In addition to the long term, it would feel pretty good for next season.

Fassel is a solid coach in my opinion. Rex Ryan is a great DC. But I'll have a hard time expecting more than 8-8 in this upcoming transition year.

Ryan and Williams both come from the Buddy Ryan tree (one a bit more closely than the other) so the defensive philosophy may not change much, if at all.
