RUMOR: O-Line Coach from 90's Super bowl Teams to replace Sparano

[AbeBeta]

What?

So in Lonesome Dove when Gus said "i'm not ready to take up the rocking chair" that was a bad way of saying he still has living left to do before he does the things that retired folks do?

I've made up my mind, from now on when people ask me about my age I'm going to say the same thing Hudson Houck did. A perfectly innocent statement getting twisted that far out of whack has got to be worth saying.

Pick a cliche', any cliche', we've got them all.

Damn Hos, you must look pretty old if folks are already asking you about retiring

Did y'all know that when you get in quicksand, the more you struggle, the faster you sink?

It's true.

I've retired from one job at 40 and has been receiving a retirement paycheck.

 

[Hostile]

Yeah, because it could have nothing to do with success right? That's flat out impossible.

They are just scared of him :a-team:

Old folks like you seem pretty touchy on this issue. Maybe young guys like me don't get it since we don't have an eye on the finish line yet.

Nice photoshop. Pretty cool that you could get his walker out of the shot like that too.

If I am firing back instead of crying, chances are I am laughing and therefore not touchy. But you go right on believing whatever you want about me. I'll refrain from retaliating. I have no reason to be ashamed of anything about my age.

I think if you check my age, you can see I was laughing as well...

A quote like "you can only play so much golf" does not suggest fire in the belly.

I cannot say I cared for the idea that he has been denigrating the talent on his Miami line, no matter how bad it was. That's just not the right thing to do.

But this is a coach who basically gave up working with Flozell Adams and lumped him in along with the likes of Solomon Page his last time around. He was frustrated when he left Dallas and it sounds like he was a bit frustrated leaving Miami.

I would rather have someone else, to be honest. It sounds like he's not quite patient enough or just has problems getting through to some players. He certainly had problems getting Adams to perform at a high level.

Good luck convincing anybody that HH had any problems in Dallas as an OL coach whatsoever. The only reason he was let go at all was because we made the decision to support our HC and his offense and we switched blocking schemes, which we regretted doing almost immediately after.

so why would you switch a blocking scheme if it had been working so well?

Didn't we bring in Chan Gailey for his offense, and he brought Frank Verducci with the zone blocking scheme that Gailey's playbook necessitated?

That's a fair complaint but BP didn't want to give Adams 10 mil SB either. Flo is good but he has been labeled extremely lazy... except in contract years. Flo has underachieved even though he has been very good. BP rode him pretty hard that first year.

Flo benefited when Larry Allen left as he didn't have the role model who considered 1 set of 8 squats and 2 sets of 8 bench presses with a 20 minute treadmill session a workout and whose idea of being vocal was a grunt.

HH had Pro Bowlers here with a lot less talent than Flozell.

We are losing our OL coach so we have to hire someone. I love the idea above to add Marco Rivera as an understudy to HH but going with someone as green as Rivera scares me. It did workout quite well with Redball but not every young coach is the next great thing. Some of these old codgers have actually kept jobs by being good for a really long time. Just ask Eagle fans about Jim Johnson or Tampa fans about their DC.

If HH lasted two years and Rivera understudied for that two I would feel pretty darn good about his hiring then.

Coslett's scheme under Campo, not Gailey.

See the part in bold. Already explained.
