I hope for Haley's sake that he has the ability to surround himself with good football coaches...

could be wishful thinking, but i think this year is an evaluation for players AND the coaches....

Haley isn't wedded to either his OC or DC...he kept Gailey for continuity, and because as an OC himself (Haley) he can instruct Gailey in exactly what he wants...and we already know they tried to get Crennel

i'm assuming that they will try to get Crennel again next year regardless of what happens this year...and Gailey has no allies in the franchise now that tony is gone and thigpen is demoted...i think Clark may have lobbied for gailey as well, so he can't complain either as gailey got a year reward for being a good soldier under herm..


i am hopeful that this regime will not tolerate failure - from anyone - for years on end the way Carl did....even if that means Haley himself gets the hook in 3 years....
