Implications of a new coach

[Fanman]

The "if not Billick, then who" question is a total copout. If it's not clear to everybody now that Billick sucks then I welcome you to 3 more years of his horrible scheme and poor playcalling. Sometimes just a new person w/ a diff outlook, scheme, etc. can make a big diff. Stop looking for the next Bill Belichick.

I would be fine w/ Rex Ryan, but would prefer somebody from outside the org.

Sorry, but I don't see Rex as being the needed change. If anything I think we'd see less discipline under Rex. He's a jolly fellow and probably alot of fun to play for. That's not what this team needs.

Put me in as a Cowher guy. I'm a huge Billick fan, and always will be, but I think he's lost the team. The vets run the show, and Billick's message is stale with them. It's a shame, because I think alot of these circumstances are beyond Billick's control. It's hard to bench a QB making the money McNair is making with an all-pro history, and that was a call by the FO. Last year Billick did well calling the plays. I still think he calls a decent game (with the exception of 3 pass plays for 1 yard in Buffalo) but the execution isn't there. The inmates run the asylum and the inmates seem to have the ear of the FO more so than the coach.

Rex Ryan is not as jolly as some think when things are not going right, Rex has called out players behind the scenes. Remember he is Buddys son...

Rick Neuheisel is a good offensive coach, if he would ever get the chance to coach. Rick is being handcuffed by Billick.

Rex and Rick would give this team a fresh look without losing our defensive identity.
