Do We Need a Change at HC?

Dan Williams has little Hayneworth in him IMO, he has the ability to split double teams and that makes a difference.

Asamoah and Pouncey are upgrades to the guys we have. Size with feet.

I want a defensive front 7 that is big strong and quick. If you read my post I make a move for Derrick Johnson. My front 7 would be, Smith, Robinson, Dan Williams, Mario Williams infront of Cushing Ryans and DJ. Your back up DL is made up of Barwin, Oghobaase, Okoya, Cody, Okam, Jamison, and Bulman.

Oh...I guess it really is that simple to draft 3 great players in a draft.

And I agree with you that we don't need a coaching change if we can draft a high level corner, the next Albert Haynesworth, and two new interior line starters (along with a power back and a DT).

In my scenario only one of the OG starts now. They have to push each other. I would expect Pitts to be resigned or a FA OG to be signed.

No matter who we hire or don't hire, we are going to have 2 to 3 more quality players to add to the roster from the draft. Only a total idiot like Matt Millen ends up with garbage after a draft. Or your like the Pats of say 2003, your roster is loaded so deep, no rookie can make the team. We are not that deep. And we do not have Matt Millen drafting our team.

Every time I start thinking Kubiak deserves one more year, they come out flatter than a pancake against a bad team. They made a rookie QB with journeyman OGs look solid. Again.

Why is this so hard? Our play calling is so predictable and it is not getting it done. Kubiak's stubbornness is going to cost him a HCing job.

Very interesting. The page I referenced when I googled "Bum Phillips Quotes" is http://www.coachqte.com/phillips.html . Also, the reference in Wikipedia naming Don Shula was not there, because I read that page also, at the time. Did you add that by any chance?
I did find another page that referenced Shula. Bum could have certainly used the same quote describing different coaches that he admired.
Chronologically, he probably said it about Bryant first, then Shula. I can't say I absolutely remember him saying it about Bryant, but it seems like it. I was absolutely sure he wasn't talking about himself.

Don't remember him saying that about the Bear, only Shula. It was referring to the fact that Shula went from a run 1st coach to a pass happy coach. Shula was not about a system, he formed his playbook to fit his players.

That's why Kubiak absoulutely makes me want to tear my hair out. And then the quote when asked "if he could feel good after such a victory", he said "You'er dang right I can." Well, yes but......... And then there was Mario one week after his and Kubiak's heart to heart chat about his underperformance. Zero sacks, and except for a fumble rcovery, zero effort in the Rams game. This is kind of my whole reason for starting this thread to begin with. I look at Indy and their 14-0 record, and I ask why can't we stay motivated like that? Why can't Kubiak keep these men motivated?

[Nconroe]

You mean the Rams that were leading N.O. with 5 minutes to play and took Jacksonville to overtime.

Ok, our players made some mistakes.

I don't think it was lack of motivation though.

I thought Mario played well, several tackles for loss and fumble recovery, contained the run on his side, he is hurt you know.

I think I see lots of maturing on the team, some team leaders stepping up, including Schaub, that's good.

And next year we have a really brutal schedule.

Mario doesn't even need to be double teamed and every opponent knows it. He's no threat against the run and the Dolphins will run right at him, if not right OVER him.
