Gregg may be poor evaluator, but he still managed to create good defense afterwards.. Of course, there were some times when we got shredded, mostly due to good players; Wesbrooks, Barber, TO and such.. But we always were in top 10..

Edit: You can see how good Saints are now, due to Gregg.. Imagine if we had good offense during his era at here, I wonder what would happen..

Williams has had his ups and downs, his stint in Jax wasn't so good.

My point was that Gibbs made this call to sign Arch because of GW, then told Snyderatto what to do, they simply executed what Gibbs said. Gibbs was certainly no "butt boy" to Snyder. If anything, Snyder worshiped the ground Gibbs walked on.

We've seriously got a younger version of Al Davis running the team. You'd figure Snyder would get it after working w/ Gibbs for 4 years.

Name one thing that Dan Snyder should have learned from Gibbs 2.0?

That's almost as famous as Jim Zorn saying the offense is "close"

How to motivate men. How to lead men. How to empower assistants/subordinates and put them in a position to succeed.

How not look an asshole and not run your team into the ground.

In Dan Snyder's own words he learned "Patience" but that's not true.

He should've learned not to call or let his VP of personel call a guy that's been out of football 4 years that's been calling bingo to come in in the middle of the season and take over the offense.

Plus the second guessing is crappy. SL had the chance to say this situation was a disaster 2 years ago but he was happy enough to just sit down for interviews and talk about how great this all was going to be.

I think this is all beautiful of what is being said about Synder and Vinny - as many have pointed out that until the change is made at the GM level with Synder out of the football decision making process things are only going to get worse. It does not matter what coach you put in there the mentality of going the free agent route and not building through the draft is blowing up in Synders face and it serves him right for being a pompus ass and not accepting this reality.

It's only natural for Largent to come to the aid of his long time friend and teammate. I wouldn't expect him to say anything different.
