I thanked him for being honest with us and giving us info we can trust.  Really a good guy.

Lap is a good guy, I have had the pleasure over the years to play golf with him and meet him at events.

As for Taylor, we will see if he was the right choice. I hope he is, but then I think of coaches like Dave Shula who was young, had a great HC pedigree

In four and a half seasons as head coach of the Bengals, Dave Shula went 19-52 and became known as a failure who managed to get a head-coaching job only because his father is Don Shula

Man, I hope I am wrong. He was a very nice guy, but a very bad HC.
