I was about to make that point but you beat me to it.

I just love the wealth of experience DA is bringing in. We probably gonna have to do a little bargain shopping in FA and rely on the draft to navigate trough a pretty rough cap situation and having coaches that, hopefully, can get the best out of unheralded players will be key.

Ex-coach Charlie Weis said a few months ago (yes, on XM NFL Radio) that when hiring staff he learned the hard way that only bringing in people you know, yet with no experience with the positions, can be a disaster. He also said that bringing in people with experience, but not having a working relationship can also be an issue.

Dennis Allen appears to be bringing in people he knows that also have a great deal of experience. Win/win.

That hiring philosophy sure as hell didn't work for Charlie Weis in Kansas or ND.

He was a terrible Head Coach.

Have to believe SP is a call or at least a text away. Not that he wants to lean on Sean but I'm sure they discussed plans beyond 2022 when Sean was the presumed HC through 2025...

I agree judging from what I see the NFL Coaching Brotherhood seems to be long lasting especially for those who came up the ladder together.
I can always remember Sean being tight with Gruden which stemmed from the days back in Philly.
But it's DA's time now and he didn't waste much time in getting his house in order.

Correct me if I'm wrong but i believe there isn't a cap on the number of coaches/assistants a team can have.

So if you can afford it, why not bring in specialized instructors and analysts?

AsylumGuido

I don't believe there is any limit. It's up to the owner's pocketbook. I was reading the other day about some owner in the very recent past that wouldn't allow the GM to bring in a special analyst. It was either Miami or J'ville, I believe.

I recognize my targeting of speedo is causing some discomfort. I have apologized for the drama and remain regretful, but it is a glitch in the matrix, and if I didn't believe it was necessary I would surely try something else. The problem is I HAVE tried other things with little speedo and he just can not bring himself to look in his mirror and assess his own behavior. Once enough hell gets raised the speedo issue will resolve and we will all get back to our team and only our team.

The simple truth is speedo doesn't understand how to debate and he doesn't understand how to just let it go. He trolls across threads, then makes formal reports to management trying to get these people in trouble for engaging him in the thing HE started with them and for doing nothing more than having an opinion which doesn't line up with his own view. He is a race baiter. He is absolutely guilty of the theft of other people's work. And yes, beyond all that he's just an annoying presence to enough people here to matter, otherwise I would not have gotten involved. I've watched speedo here for years, and I've watched it get worse over time. And please remember he is not a child - this is a grown damn man.

None of that is up for debate. These are the behaviors of little speedo. What he's trying to do now with his little girlish denial is to divide the board...to get people 'on his side' - to set his supporters (if he has any) against his detractors, so he's quick to offer thanks to anyone who takes issue with the situation - tries to make that at attack on me, and is equally quick to let us all know who he's blocked and to remind us all it's one-sided and that he just can't understand everyone else's childish behavior.

At some point the little fella needs to look at that list of blocked people and ask himself why he has to block so many people...a reasonable person might have done that already and it's one of the many (many) reasons I think he suffers from NPD - while we ALL suffer. As a 'moderator' here I don't think I've ever really moderated anything - years and years of nadda. I actually had to learn how to use a few tools in the last few weeks just to find an alternate way to send this disturbed little man a message he doesn't seem to get.

Nobody's take on little speedo has anything to do with me - it is the result of individual experiences. The consensus is what it is. This is NOT me versus speedo, nor is it anyone else versus speedo. It is the result of a man on the spectrum who never grew up. No more excuses and no quarter.

Hey speedo:

C'mon Man...

Or maybe, just maybe, Major is a Big Boy who can explain his posts himself? Mary Sweet Mother of Jesus, can we just squash this and talk football... PLEASE?

K Major

You got that right.

No one on this board speaks for Major. No one.

I'm definitely not the issue on this platform. If others fail to see who is the s*** starter is on this site, post after post ... shame on them.

I think our Moderator has done a masterful job in pointing out bad forum etiquette & a lot of folks are tired of it.

Back to football ...
