See ya, Swinton...Welcome Ryan Ficken, the Next ST Coordinator

He doesn’t get blamed as an assistant because when he was in charge, they turned it around. Which means that the problem was probably the guy above him.

We become too enamored with these one hit wonders.

We’re not the only ones. Sometimes it works out. Sometimes it doesn’t.

[Charge!]

I heard an occasional "We didn't execute properly" or words to that effect. Seemed fair to me. There were times we didn't.
I also heard Staley say " In the end, it's all on me."

Staley also said that he "over estimated" the talent on this defense...... which is on him.... he thought the defense would be ahead of the offense..... but he admits his mistake....

How many times has it worked out for us? Zero times, that's how many

Anyone who doesn’t see that this is the final missing piece falling into place just isn’t very positive. Start clearing room in the trophy case now.

True dat. I also thought the D would be very good. Wrong.-although I don't blame lack of starting talent as much as lack of depth, failure to grasp the scheme, stay healthy and play as a team. I always worry about STs.
On O I love Herbert KA, MW & Ek, I was not so sure about OL and OC Lombardi. Ha! Top 5 Offense!

Pretty sure that Telesco is the one who said those things.

Then no complaining if someone else hire a one year wonder and it works out for them lol.

I think you're right.

I’m still curious about the lateral move thing. This was not a promotion. It was a lateral move, and the Vikings tried to block it. So I’m confused why it happened. Do we have to send them a draft pick?

They just changed GMs (as well as the coach), so I guess they figured that the new coach might want a fresh start, so they let him interview, just in case. Staley wanted O'Connell from the Rams, but he was blocked. Who knows for sure about any compensation, unless we hear about it.
