That team you saw last night: Jags is who Herm aspires to be.

And like GOATSE said earlier, Gailey has shown that he adjusts his scheme to the players around. He has aired it out on some teams and ran it with others. |

I personally don't like the fit at all - it's another very complicated offense with a huge playbook that takes years to learn. Troy Aikman hated it. I think the Chiefs probably put out feelers to Alex Gibbs who recommended Gailey as they worked together in Denver in the 80's.

http://www.texnews.com/1998/1999/cowboys/off1024.html Cowboys owner Jerry Jones offered this perspective: "We all know there are a lot of different offenses, a lot of different schemes, a lot of different ways to play the same player, and if you can put it all together, you can win a Super Bowl. We've seen that. Different types of coaches, different styles of offenses can win Super Bowls." Gailey's system is more running to the outside; Turner's offense, more running off-tackle. ... These are styles different from each other. There is more power blocking in Turner's offense; there is more pulling in Gailey's offense. |

and the Jags are good, there are worse things to be...but, well, I'd rather build something that didn't see offense and defense as enemies...

You don't need a strong arm for any one offense over another - Holmgren certainly maximized Favre, as does McCarthy - both of whose offenses rely heavily on West Coast principles. |

i freely admit i'm being a negative nelly...
i'm more concerned with the OC's ability to develop a QB than I am the particulars of his philosophy, actually..

What strikes me as funny is that we are looking at all these zone blocking guys for OC. It seems like the first part of the AS offense that Herm scrapped was the outside runs that featured zone blocking.

Yeah, I have a feeling that it was Herm, not Solari, that wanted to go towards the smash-mouth running attack that we featured so ineffectively. If Herm stayed, Solari had to go, just for credibility's sake. At least perhaps Herm realized that smash-mouth doesn't work. Whoever was at fault this year -- and my guess is that it was more Herm than Solari -- a fresh start and perhaps and edict from Peterson that Herm not interfere, it simply can't get any worse than it was this year. |

As long as Hermy is the head coach-it does not matter who we hire.

Gailey and Gibbs would be a good combination.
On a positive note, I do like what Im hearing about how he builds and adjusts his schemes to the talents of the players, but Im not gonna hold my breath on that and rely on what I hear because sometimes HC can be full of it anyway? but building a scheme to what your players can do best is definately a smart thing to do. I love the sound of that. Hopefully Herm's philosophy can stay away from that, and hopefully he can stay away from the offense period. |
