What the hell?

Does Parcells get a pass for his crappy coaching job because "he brought in some good talent", and Wade needs to get fired for his coaching job after one year? And that too, going 13-3 with people who weren't his players.

Can we see what Wade is going to bring in within the next 2-3 years before we say he can't win a play-off game or Super Bowl?

I think San Diego is quite pleased that they have Igor Olshansky, Shaun Phillips, Shawn Marriman, Luis Castillo and Antonio Cromartie, all players that were drafted when Wade was the defensive coordinator....

It is amazing that people have forgotten about this essential aspect of personnel... Who the hell has Jason Garrett evaluated from a personnel stand-point to know he can improve on this team? Does Parcells get a free-pass for his coaching, because of his talent evaluation, but Wade doesn't get a chance to prove his worth because his coaching allegedly sucks?

Did Wade pass up on Antonio Cromartie? No... But Parcells surely did... I guess Parcells thought Reeves was also adequate... he was only waiting for Aaron Glenn to retire before he put Reeves in at nickel... We had a serious draft this year, and made some key additions in free-agency with Wade here... Dan Reeves said that Wade is a great evaluator of talent, I beileve he said, one of the best he has worked with...

Wade is gonna make some changes, like he said... book it...

I agree.

And for those who say that Wade had nothing to do with those players... He sure mentioned scouting them this year at our PCs. He's also talked about working with John Butler at Buffalo on players, where they took some pretty good players like Antoine Winfield.

JMO, but at least on defense, I think he has something to add after seeing defenses for 30 years.

I also think we're going to see an emphasis on more of the aggressive, energetic, "crazy" kind of players now that we don't have to follow the rigid size requirements Parcells had. That's what I remember seeing in watching some of his old Buffalo teams on NFLN this year -- defenses that swarmed and hit like madmen.

I didn't realize that Wade not only was a DC for the Chargers, but was also in charge of the draft. ;)
I'm sure he had input, but only on the good players. The bad picks weren't his idea!

Surely by now you realize that there are people who will panic even if they are in the middle of an orgasm.

"Oh my gosh, what's happening to me?"

It's a three year contract with an option for a fourth year. So basically he's signed through the 2009 season (with an option for 2010).

ESPN story said:
"It's a big job, but I'm ready for it," said Phillips, who got a three-year contract that includes an option for a fourth season. Financial terms were not disclosed.

Uh, when he became defensive coordinator, they surely imporved from major suckage to one of the best in the league...

If out of the 10 players drafted on defense during Wade's tenure, 50 percent of them are starting on that defense and making a significant impact, and a few others are signficant contributors when these players go down, or are on special teams, I am quite sure one can attribute part of that to Wade.... where were they before, and where are those previous defenseive players now?

who would you think knows more about which type of players suit his system, than himself?

Just an FYI. 18 teams passed on Antonio Cromartie. The Cowboys did feel they needed a CB with Henry, Newman, and Glenn. They were looking for a linebacker.

29 teams skipped on Joseph Addai. Every team skipped on Marques Colston six times. Every team skipped on Jay Ratliff six times.

Dude, you can't know every player is going to come out and be a pro bowler. He was selected 19th overall. It's still first round, but he wasn't even a top 10 player. Usually, only top 3 are fully expected to be dominating players, and so many times they aren't!

Kind of like the JJ years...

thanks, so that means wade has 2 more seasons to see what he can do.

Well, he'll at least get paid for it. If it's one and done next year, I could see him getting axed with a year left on his contract (see: Gailey, Chan).
