We're just waiting to get Crennel and slot the two retread failures into their rightful role as position coaches. No sense in announcing either one as DC only to 'demote' them after you snag Crennel.

I'm also hoping that Thigpen grows 5 inches in the offseason and realizes that he can throw far more accurately with his left arm than his right.

I think both scenarios are equally likely.

I'm not overly excited about either of these guys as coordinators too, but you have to wonder if this might just be Pioli's way of saying 'we'll wait until next year and grab the cream of the crop and have an experienced playcaller to call plays for 2009 as a stopgap.' "

If we want to use the overused cliche of "the Patriot Way", recall that a few years ago the Pats ran an offense without having a true offensive coordinator.
