Currently jumping up and down.......at my workdesk....garnering some pretty funny looks....
 
Ps....for the very small but somewhat devoted fanbase.....Odds and Sods will make its apperance, later

Cult Intervention operators are standing by......

Well, some coaches can take less.....and make even less out of it.....

Cult Intervention operators are standing by......

First of all, Kelly or no Kelly .......at the time, Bryant simply wanted to leave, and by his lack of hustle and effort, on the field......eventually got what he wanted.   
Now, my tolerence level for that kind of stuff.....was and is, precisely 0.  Between that, the twitter loudmouths, the hot doggers and the other players who lacked professionalism....gin consumption was at a all-time high
 
That said, a certain amount of moons, have passed, since then....and bottom line - the only thing that interests me, now in the long view, under our new management......is the ongoing effort to beat every bush, look under every haystack, dig into every nook and cranny, kick every tire, stick any toe in the water, look for any port in the storm....and do whatever the hell needs to be done, however....to just make this a better football team.  Long term and short term.  If Bryant can (and prove it to the staff) provide us with some short term depth.....well ok then...
 
Of course Romby better not make any waves, outside of his bathtub.....because I for one, still remember......

Like:
 
Willy looks to be a serious upgrade on what we had last year at QB.
Some national upgrades now and soon, for OL
Using more of the field, with better play selection on offense.
Actual halftime adjustments during games.
Team not folding up, when falling behind in games
Kicking game
Progress of some young national receivers
Secondary
 
No Like:
 
Run Defense
LB's, excepting Wild
Kick coverage
Still can't make clutch plays to close out games
Razor-thin national depth
Blocking against edge rush, on OL

Well, you can effectively avoid taking the rap for draft busts ....if you simply trade away your top draft picks, every year......

Cutting Hall outright at this point....is just a bad idea.

Well, after finishing my routine with the gin curls... I tend to look pretty good and ripped....

Yeah, guy was a young Canuck and all but.....he simply looked terrible - took real bad angles and as a tackler, the defensive equivalent of Brock Ralph.

Not going to dump on the guy.....merely ecstatic, at his departure....... 

Would of loved to get Banks here, say....3 years ago.
 
That said......if ever a team was crying out for some attitude and veteran leadership....it's this one.   Banks is the kind of guy who can be the de facto assistant (for a rookie HC)....in the room.
 
As far as Poblah.....look like Tarzan, play like Jane.   Tracking the ball, in the air and catching it....ongoing problems.  If Wally can't turn on the light bulb, Kito's next gig.... will be working out of a cubicle, somewhere.....

Bombers took the "play safe" route here.....experience and continuity, over pursuing "excellence"... like say, trying to find the next great OC. 
 
Oh well....
 
At least MB has a clean slate this year (no trace of Crow)   We will see.
 
 
As far as the Goltz banishment....my money was on it being Burke's idea... in a typical attempt to deflect the heat.... from his own shortcomings.  

Wanted this to be O'Shea...
Because I have pounded away on the forums, for years...on the need for direction ,leadership and accountability from the HC slot..
Might finally get it...
