It's not going to be a tough year because expectations are so low. Tough years are when expectations are high and the team fails to meet them.
There's nothing this team can do this year to piss the fans off because I've never seen so much hopelessness before a season has begun. It's strange, actually.
They weren't lying when they said it was a tough decision. You could see the look on McDermott's face that he still wasn't completely sold. But they knew there was no way they were re-signing him. So if you know that you don't have the roster to win the Super Bowl this season, then what's the point of keeping him?
When is the last time a quarterback from Mike Leach's system ever accomplished anything in the NFL?
I watched the first two plays. I've seen all I needed to see. I doubt he'll even be drafted.
Yes, yes we are.
"Can't miss players" don't exist. We traded too much to take Sammy, and for what? Where did it get us? Yes, I blame Whaley for that. And that trade is a huge stain on Whaley's already mediocre resume.
I'll take that as a 'yes' from you.
I'm of the opinion that they don't. Glorified gym teachers, either relegated to being lifetime position coaches because (a) they're not smart/talented/driven enough to get promoted to coordinator or HC positions or (b) the connections (friends) they've made during their time in the league.
But the positive or negative effects they have on individual professional players/units during their time as position coaches? Little-to-none.
