Gunther's finger pointing has already begun...

[DaWolf]

Typical. Would expect nothing less from a guy who loves to blame everyone but himself on his failures...

“I’ve gone through three years of playing zone defense because I was loyal to Herm Edwards,” Cunningham said today in a conference call. “That’s what he wanted. People here in town knew that I was different than that. My idea is to put a lot of pressure on the quarterback — always has been, always will be.”

This after you proclaim that you love Herm Edwards and the Cover 2 has always been a part of your scheme and that the "handcuffs" had been taken off with Herm, all while you were throwing Vermeil under the bus.

I guess Gunther really doesn't have a spine.

“The emotions get involved, ‘Oh, we’ll play with all these young players,’ ” Cunningham said. “But what you don’t understand is, they have to be led by guys like Jared Allen.”

“If you have a lot of young players that you’re going to draft, you have to make sure you work the whole process,” Cunningham said. “I believe the mistake we made here is that they tried to add some UFA players like Demorrio Williams. Well, he doesn’t have enough experience and enough ability to lead a bunch of rookies. …

“I can at least share what happened here and the pitfalls we ran into and see what the process brings.”

Yeah, so the answer I suppose would be signing all those UFA's you had on your list that you gave to Carl and proclaimed that Carl delivered. That Kendrell Bell, helluva leader Gun.

That does happen when you're picking Top 10 for a long time though.

Rod Hood is the other one I believe. And their other Safety (Francisco) is pretty good too. Oh, and Ralph Brown is another CB. He's a solid veteran backup.

Their CB's are getting better and better, drafting in the 1st rd for DRC and Rolle have helped them and Adrian Wilson is a top 3 safety in the NFL



WE HAVE NO PLAYERS AT ALL OF THIS TALENT LEVEL, maybe DJ or Flowers

**** I dunno

LaBoy is also really good, he's just hurt. And dirty looking.

Why people dont understand this is beyond me

I thought he made the promise before the last DUI, or is that just me brain farting...

That's true, I believe. Carl probably offered more money, though.

Here you go, from January 16, 2004, right after his extension in NY:

Edwards is interviewing candidates to replace Cottrell. Titans linebackers coach Gunther Cunningham interviewed Wednesday and former Nebraska interim coach Bo Pelini interviewed Thursday.

Jared did get suspended and had a bout with the law if I'm not mistaken. But I generally agree with your point.

I believe Gun didn't want any part of it. But had it forced on him. I suppose he did the best he could but couldn't make it work with the guys we had.
That said he still shouldn't of thrown Herm under the bus even though Herm should of been steamrolled long ago.
