any specific reason why Parish is on there? Just for good measure or something?

As good as a guy as he is, I picked Rivera. I think replacing him will be a huge upgrade.

Vandy, also glad he is gone but didn't pick him because its just too easy.

It's not that I didn't like Bill, it's just that he seem disinterested at times and the game looks like it passed him by. Zimmer looked out of place coaching the 3-4.

I voted 'Other'.

I'll like to, respectfully, postpone my choice until the 2008 season has ended. :)

Someone get the smelling salts. I was sure Mike Winicki would pick Bledsoe.

The world is spinning. I think I may faint.

It's your own fault for not doing a multiple choice poll. ;)

I picked Rivera, simply because he was SO bad, but I think ultimately if you're honest it has to be Zimmer. While he excelled for years at getting bad talent to play slightly above themselves, he's no innovator, and (many) years of showing our hand a half hour before the snap and December fades at some point can no longer be coincidence.

Without a doubt it has to be Big Bill. After 4 straight December slides it was obvious that his style of coaching wore very thin on the players by the end of the season. December is when you should be peaking for a playoff run. BP did upgrade the talent but made as many bad choices as good ones. It could however be argued that anyone could have upgraded the talent as our team had just came out of salary cap hell and had some good draft choices. For every Newman, Ware, and Witten he chose he also chose A. Johnson, J. Rogers, S. Peterman, and (Rivera, Wiley, and M.Vanderjacht [sp?]) through free agency. Our roster is better than when he got here but he missed on several players too. As for as Romo goes I give all the credit for him to the Saints coach. I think he should have started way before he did. Vinny and Bledsoe should never have been used as starters. If Romo had started the last two years the experience he would have gained would really help next year. BP held him back too long while forcing Bledsoe as the starter. I also could not stand another season of "playing not to lose" instead of going for the jugular. The ultra conservative approach sucks.

If you have A. Henry and A. Glenn in your secondary, do you really think your pass defense is going to be #1 ? :cool:

After the Saints game, everyone knew how to hit this team.

Henry and Glenn do not have to belong to the NFL's #1 pass defense to help this team land a championship, eduncan. Let's go over this again...

Better pass rush = QB hurries = QB miscues = better cornerback play via more opportunities to make plays.

Football 101.

Easy: Mike Zimmer! I've been calling for him to be gone since he was the DB coach. How he lasted as long as he did is a mystery I'll probably never know the answer to.

Bill Parcells is 2nd. I like what he did for us from a personnel standpoint, as he left us in pretty good position talent wise, but his game-day coaching left an awful lot to be desired. His playing not to lose was killing us and I am glad he is gone.

You mean in the flats and down the seams? Yeah, they stayed away from our corners, and attacked our LBs and safeties. How do I know this, you say? To anyone with internet access it becomes abundantly clear that 3 of the 4 games we played to end the season (including the Saints game) the other teams leading receivers were a rookie RB and two TEs. Shocking that they would elect to attack those regions of the field with backs and TEs rather than targeting our corners.

Get your head on, and contribute to the thread. If you're just trolling, then go away. Your nonsense is tired.

Your whole opinion is false and I can prove it! :mad:

Eduncan doesn't have any video clips to support your claim. :eek::

Nonsense.

Examples: A. Glenn gave up 2 TDs to Detroit's Roy Williams...in the 1st half.

A. Henry was smoked by Brees [not to mention his game tying TD in the Commanders game]

I've gotta hand it to you. You're consistent, that's for sure. :rolleyes:
