What's fascinating is that if you visit the staff, coaches and execs page, all titles have been removed from all of the coaches ... except for Haley.

Very intriguing...

Damn, they seriously kept Krummy.

keg in kc · 02-17-2009, 05:38 PM

As has already been mentioned, it's a little odd that they're not saying what any of their titles are.

I've tried being very optimistic throughout the hiring period, but I'm not going to lie, this doesn't look very good to me right now...

Christofire · 02-17-2009, 05:39 PM

Well, if you're not a fan of Chan Gailey, it gives you hope that he's not actually going to be the offensive coordinator.

It's more bothersome that all of the line coaches are back when this team was awful on both lines.

Is that a matter of coaching or matter of talent?

sportsman1 · 02-17-2009, 05:42 PM

No Dick Curl = Positive
No Herm = The best
No Gunther= Hope

All of the above = Reason to play Journey's "Don't stop believing".

Well just the use of Glenn Dorsey should be enough to get Krumrie fired.

I dont know why they kept Krumrie, but while the left side of our oline was good, center and right side was piss poor horrible. I hope its due to talent. Lets be serious here though, the guys we had at center and on the right side just arent starters or even 2nd stringers in the NFL imo.

Keeping Gailey means we may keep Thigpen as our starter. I think that all depends on if Stafford is there or not at 3. Just my opinion of course.

Mecca · 02-17-2009, 05:44 PM

You could argue that the OL coach did a good job with Albert but I don't see any defense of Krumrie he has several high picks and got nothing.

Micjones · 02-17-2009, 05:45 PM

IF...
1. Gailey remains the OC
2. Gibbs is coaching LB's
3. Muir is coaching the Offensive Line
4. Bicknell is coaching TE's

This won't be so bad.
