He got a couple billion laying around, does he?

Also, whenever I read Twitter, it reminds me why I don't read Twitter.

I love Twitter. It's my favorite social media. It's how I get my news, especially fantasy football.

The Saints vs Rams, KC vs Rams and KC vs NE games tell me that zone, cover2/3, and Man or Mix can't stop these schemes.

Belichek gave up 40 to KC with his mix. He even ran 3-2-6 and 2-2-7.

Wade Phillips has the dream team on defense, and couldn't stop KC or NO with his Man/Mix.

So what I'm saying is that either we go to a defensive minded approach and get a guy who can slow down these offenses, or join them and go offensive approach.

This league goes in cycles, so I could see a return to a power run philosophy using keep away approach, and an undersized quick defense that utilizes nickel/dime packages as base or a version of zone/Tampa-2, with a couple of behemoths at d-line.

So who would be best coach(s) to devise a strategy for us? I don't know...Jimmy Johnson? Chip Kelley? Harbaugh?

You have to have LB that can tackle and play in space that's the only way.

For the entire Rams staff with McVay and sign him to 15 year contract

Probably said the same thing about Doug Pederson last year.

He's got one more than Marvin.  And it didn't take him sixteen years to do it.  Guess that doesn't count.  I'd take one in a row any day.  Like Parcells said, "Now, for the rest of your lives, nobody can ever say you couldn't do it."

So called " dream teams"  very seldom ever work out . Far too many ego's to get things actually accomplished which by the way is the problem with Hue. His ego got in the way of getting anything accomplished in Cleveland and there's no sign it's changed much back in Cincinnati. 
Gruden with the Raiders is another example ..

Obviously I'm biased by living where I do, but I think Dino Babers, HC at Syracuse, would be a great fit. Young, with an aggressive mindset, and willing to coach to the strength of his players. He is also not adverse to getting emotional, but in a calculated manner (not a Rex Ryan type) to achieve the desired result. For example, after the Notre Dame debacle, he specifically called out the underclassmen, saying that they owed the seniors a better performance, and they responded. He has raised the program up from the depths, to the point where they are a legitimate threat to Clemson, and a power in the ACC. I know the NFL is a different mindset, but I'm ready for someone who has as much passion to coach this team as the fans who have stuck around for so many disappointing years to cheer them on!

Oh, he is the next HC, especially now that he doesn't have that pesky HC job with another organization standing in his way.
