Do you prefer the "old"/Vermeil style or the "new"/Herm style of play?

If you recall in my post Marty and DV could have succeeded big time here, but my argument is CP was the common denominator why they didn't.

CP is a common denominator and I'm no fan of CP but I only hold CP partially responsible for our futility. With a few exceptions CP has given his coaches every player they've asked for. The only notable time CP overruled DV was on LJ. It was DV's magical mystery drafts that produced Sims, Siavii, Battle, Downing, Freeman, Minnis, and on and on.

As for DV doing a wonderous job here I guess that depends on how you define it. In five years he produced one division win (against the softest schedule possible and with two wins handed to him by officials), no playoff wins and a winning % just a hair above .500. He did however do a great job at building an offense and proving to the world that it was he and not Martz that was behind the 'Show' in St. Lou which I think is all he really intended to do anyway.
