I was skeptical about Solari.

I never saw him as some great O-Line guru.

The fact is, he was a guy that schemed the blocking for a team with one of teh best O-Lines the NFL has ever seen, and the only guy that developed into a great O-Lineman while he was the O-Line coach was Brian Waters, and the responsibility for teaching technique was the asst. O-Line coach.

Skeptical really isn't the correct word.

I thought it was stupidity.

Ok. Sure, that's a possibility.

OR

Maybe this team is ready for a HC like Romeo. Maybe Haley came in and was exactly what they needed. He got them into shape and taught them how to take care of their bodies. Taught them to be tough. But he ran his coarse.

Ever thought this team's core talent is old enough now, mature enough, with enough NFL experience to not need someone to scream at them? Maybe their ready for someone who will treat them like men?

Maybe not.

So why argue with such certainty that this team will be worse off? We have no idea. These aren't the ****ing cleveland Browns. Compadre, if he proves he's a failure, i'm sure there will be plenty of time to bitch about it.

Truth is it doesn't matter. HC and OC don't matter when your QB is Matt Cassel.

Great coaches demand perfection.

Look at the SB winners.

Not many Dick Vermeil's in there.

The Lombardi's, The Landry's, the Bellichick's, the Parcells' types are the ones that win.

That's on the mark. Although I think Vermeil was just as much of a perfectionist as those other guys, if not more so. That's why he'd run his team into the ground with three+ hour practices until they hated him. Even in KC, guys like Willie Roaf blame him for shortening his career. Just because he came across as a nice guy in press conferences, doesn't mean he was soft on the players.
