That's why Peterson brought him back, right? Why would he have done that? Why did Gunther return? Peterson's love for Gunther has been well-documented. Why else would a GM in the NFL bring back a guy that he fired previously regardless of his performance? Loyalty would be my guess.

When you have few outstanding players (Allen, DJ) you will show flashes but not consistency. Great players alone do not guarantee consistency. Good coaching and a good scheme go farther in doing that. The credit goes to Herm, IMO.

I could be wrong, but you could be too, we really dont know as we dont know Herm ro Gun personally.

I'm pretty sure it was Herm's gameplan.

I don't know but I'll bet Allen was Vermeil's choice because he reminded him of his beloved Grant Wistrom. Gunther has tended to prefer project/potential guys like Siavvi/Battle/Bartee/Carlos Hall, etc. rather than production guys like Allen and Hali. Derrick Johnson was a no-brainer that we were fortunate to have fall to us.

I hardly have hatred for Gunther. I like the guy. I just don't have any faith in his ability to orchestrate a top tier defense without a defensive-minded head coach like Herm or Marty looking over his shoulder.
