Who would he pick as OC? Shea? No thanks. While he didn't have the talent or the time at Chicago, I say no way to a second chance here. His best asset is his ability to fundimentaly teach QB's. Hell he even wrote a book on it.

Joiner? Almost 20 years as a WR coach. Why hasn't he got an offer for a OC job yet? Lack of his own interest or whatever. Verduzco would basically be a hand puppet as well If Saunders chose to call his own plays.

Solari would be an excellent choice IF he would be allowed to build it around our running and play action game. Hell, I wouldn't even be upset with Norv Turner with his relationship with Green and the job he did in dallas as an OC. Hell, from Green, AS, and even DV, that's the team we could have resembled according to the early years, '01, '02. A strong running team with weapons at TE and FB, something St. Louie didn't have.

Who is the DC? Gunther? It couldn't be any different under Saunders. The best job Gun may have done in recent years is as LB/ass. HC in Tennessee. That's because he had a ton of respect for Fisher and blended in greatly with a good defensive staff there. Hell, his ego was in check. Short of Jeff Fischer coming here, I really don't see any HC who could control Gun like Marty did. I couldn't see a first time defensive minded HC being able to get the best out of Gun basically because of Gunthers ego. He wants to do everything himself.

And back to Saunders. Other than continuing the offense, what else does he bring to the table? Could he let an OC like Solari grow and develope his own style to what is a great offense? Could he be more open to drafting skilled players that maybe don't fit the scheme to an exect T but have talent and incorporate them? Would he except a smaller playbook maybe easier for younger players and new commers to learn at a quicker pace? Would he allow for more options of being able to audible for a vet QB like Green?

Can he lay off the O some and focus on fixing the problems on special teams and defense?

I just don't see it. Somebody tell me how this would not be comparable to Gunther part two?

Hell, he might go on to some other team and have success. Somewhere that he would HAVE to adjust to the current roster and maybe realize what works. I just don't have any Idea what type of plan he would have as a HC.

I'd rather take a chance on a defensive minded HC. That's what we really need. If we could get someone in the same mindset and do similer things that Lewis has in Cincy and Lovie Smith has in Chicago I would be very satisfied.
