If Haley chooses any one particular piece of this franchise to monitor in critical detail, I'd hope like hell it was the wideouts.
Next season we'll have a new OC, a new DC, and I wouldn't at all be surprised if Haley keeps this piece for himself come 2010. I kind of hope he does. Like a former coach who shall remain nameless, who lacked every single character trait otherwise, I think he has a discernible strength in one particular area and we are fools not to focus his efforts there (as well as overall team management).
Timing sucks, but so does the team. I'm not at all bothered by it, but I wonder how much good it does have a FB teaching them how to better their game....? I wouldn't be terribly surprised to see us incorporate some kind of coaching hire around our bye week possibly too...our timetable for change simply does not mirror the rest of the league AND IT SHOULDN'T. We're far worse off, and major change will be necessary over the next few seasons. So long as it's not a carousel of shit like Oakland, no worries here, clocks ticking but, meh....
