Here in SF on the radio they mentioned Hue Jackson was going to be the OC, just saying.

Haslett is staying? Are you kidding me...... This reeks of Danny trying to save a buck and throwing him onto Gruden

C'mon, man! When did Danny ever worry about spending a few bucks on a coaching staff? He'll pay for the right people.

I think it reeks of Bruce Allen trying to save a Buc.

Basically this staff will be Bruce Allen's legacy, for good or bad, it is clear that Allen got who he wanted, and that DS is allowing him the freedom to pick his group.

I would hope that Gruden does get authority to choose his staff, but a radio announcer from ESPN earlier pointed out that even when he went to Cincy as OC he kept nearly all the same staff.

DS does not allow anyone the freedom to pick anything when it comes to the Skins. He's a total control freak.

I think he's shown over the past few years that he is more willing to defer to expert opinions.

Read the article in Sunday's WaPo and you will see that isnt true. If the experts agree with him then he goes with their opinion if not then he goes with his opinion. 2 examples cited in the article. He wanted to draft Malcom Kelly (the experts had big issues with his health) and the experts wanted Jordy Nelson. You know the rest. Shanny wanted Bulger but DS wanted McNabb who was a bigger more marketable name. Again, you know the rest.

It seems like DS's best PR move has been to get the public to think he's defered to the experts. He hasnt.

serious statement? I think DS has shown he gives up control to the people he trusts, ie Gibbs, Cerrato, Shanahan, now Allen. The difference with Allen, I hope, is that DS is now truly one step removed from the football operations. If DS doesn't like the show put on he fires Allen, puts a new GM in place and lets that GM run the football operations. With Gibbs/Cerrato/Shanahan, when the time came to can the coach (or the coach left in Gibbs case) DS was back picking the next coach. There is a maturation of DS at work, and I think this is a positive step in the direction of getting the Skins to be a functional (not dysfunctional) franchise. That doesn't mean Gruden will be the next great coach, but it does mean DS is moving beyond the fan/owner/gm stage to an owner/spectator/signthecheck stage, and that's a good thing.

With McVay as OC, will Cooley try to make a comeback?

Normally I'm all for getting younger and faster players but we don't have anyone at TE and Gruden runs a two TE system.

Reed is talented but I don't think anyone can expect him to play more than 10 games next year.

Yeah lis I'm not goin to get all excited anymore, after the shanny debacle I'll just wait and hope for the best

Rumblings on Twitter that we're switching to the 4-3. I like this (if true). Cofield was a very good 4-3 DT in NY. I hope Riley is up to the task of being the MLB. Maybe Orakpo and Kerrigan as DEs?

Via Twitter: Looks like Fletcher endorsing Morris as DC

"@LFletcher59 I think Morris as DC would be great choice! Brings energy & excitement! Would feel pretty good about HC, DC, & OC then!"

Def not an endorsement for Haz and that's for sure

Fletcher via twitter again:

"@LFletcher59 39m Defensive struggles where not solely on salary cap #excuses #blahblahblah"
