If there is emotion, it's gentle and loving emotion, not "I'm going to rip your head off and shit down your throat" emotion. I used to really admire and respect the head coach, now I can't wait for him to retire. The only problem is once that happens, the team as we know will probably be dismantled and yet another rebuilding will occur.

Yup. More importantly, no leadership on that side of the ball. Erica Hicks is supposedly the defensive captain. I've heard/seen him squeak up twice in 7 years, once when begging off training camp for his wife to experience a complicated childbirth and the other time to cuss a female reporter, Rhonda Moss. Yeah, he's a great leader. Is it any wonder our defense hasn't made a play since 1998?
