    everyone but Swinton, citing uselessness on ST
    Consideing Swinton was already forced to use a lot of raw rookies, Staley decided to entrust the veteran ST coach and part ways with Tbilly
    Just to have Tbilly show up on the raiders ST and cause Roberts to fumble.
    Makes sense to me
    That might one reason. But I doubt it’s the main reason.

      Hell, I'll let Woody explain it.

        I was stunned when I read this earlier today. The ST got better as the year wore on. I'm agreeing with Wood - I think Staley has someone in mind for this job.

        If I had read they were replacing the DC I wouldn't have been at all surprised.

            Maybe the ST's got better BECAUSE Staley took over...

                HA! That same thought hit ME in the 3rd Quarter. Staley's going to move on free agent ST coach Rich Bisaccia. Rich is my coach of the year. Hands down.

                  While he's done a great job, I'd have to give those honors to Vrabel. Got the 1st round bye without his best player.

                  I kind of hope Harbaugh ends up in Vegas. He's a head case.

                    Back to Special Teams.

                    I know one immutable fact: I didn't have any fucking idea who Derius Swinton was, and I won't know the name of the next guy. But I'm the optimist/realist guy because with all those crazy, positive waves, we can't lose.

                    It probably won't be Joe Judge.




                    It sounds crazy, but the LA Chargers should hire recently-fired head coach Joe Judge to man the special teams.

                        I think that has merit. Second, good idea for a thread/poll for the Powder Blues's Coach of The Year.

                          Raiders should give Rich an extension. I’m guessing they give him a pink slip.
