I have been suggesting the same thing for 2 years now. Think that Al Saunders will come back???

I have to admit I don't know a lot about Saunders, but based on the opinions of the majority on this board, that would be okay.
What's the line on Saunders? |

If we're going to be stuck with Peterson, then we're stuck with Gun. IMHO, Gun's best move would be to act as HC/DC - turning offensive reins over to whomever we bring in to replace the current stooge(Raye). Perhaps we can bring in Al Saunders; perhaps Bruce Coslett - but, whoever it is, he HAS to be a solid OC that can do the job w/o direction from anyone else!!!!! He MUST be 'the man' on O. (Same goes for whoever we bring in to replace Stock!)

IMO, Saunders won't return unless Carl is gone. Bad blood from two years ago. I've been wondering all year why Gun hasn't taken over the defense. I know he liked to be in the box so he could see the field better, but I don't think that's such a big deal. Although I've never known any head coach that has handled both duties. They might call for a blitz every now and then, but since defensive game-plans can (and should) change during the game, it's sometimes easier to have someone else do it. Offense is a little different (and less complicated, IMO) as far as adjustments go. I just think he's overwhelmed with all that a head coach has to do. Asking him to call defensive plays would add so much work that his press conferences would be even more difficult to understand. "Well, even though we gave up 56 points, I think we can build on it because I talked with myself about our defensive game plan and felt so proud that I actually remebered a time when Marty and this kid named Phil were walking on the plaza and saw this guy standing there and ..." (this would continue for about another four hours or so, until someone realized Gun was actually asleep and operating automatically due to all of the caffeine and Skoal spit.) Face it fellas, they all need to go. MM --Thinks Gun's head is too small for the hat he wears now. [This message has been edited by Mark M (edited 12-01-2000).] |
