MSouza, you may have a point about Singletary wanting to interview someone from one of the four remaining teams. But, who? Russ Grimm is a great OL coach for Arizona, but i don’t think he has ever been an OC. And, I don’t think we can just steal one of the OCs from one of those teams. It would have to be a promotion for us to be allowed to interview them.

I still say our best bet would be either Linehan (is there anyone who doesn’t like him?) or go with a split coordinator system with someone like Dennison and another passing game expert.

I just hope Singeltary knows what he is doing. This is an important decision. And, waiting too long to make it could screw things up just as bad as making a bad decision.

And, I know Singletary is just trying to take his time and get it right, but I’m starting to get nervous about how long this is taking. Mangini & McDaniels, who were hired after Singletary, are already hiring coordinators for their respective teams. And, more HC hirings are bound to come soon. Which means more OC hirings. Which means if we don’t get someone soon, our options are going to become more and more limited. So, I hope he hires someone soon…

As for the Browns ownership being the only ones worse than the Yorks, I don’t think so. How about Al Davis? How about the Ford family in Detroit? Al Davis at least cares about something, what I don’t know. The Ford Family, that one speaks for itself.

The DeBartolo Corporation, which Denise York runs, has 60 BILLION DOLLARS a year running through it. So one can’t say that they’re stupid. Maybe just football stupid. I read in Forbes AND have heard that of all the owners in the NFL, Denise DeBartolo York has the most cheddar. That’s pretty impressive in it’s own right, especially when you think about the Seahawks owner (I forget his name) who once owned half of Microsoft, and the Patriots owner Robert Kraft, who I don’t have to explain where he got his $$.

The point I’m trying to make is that with all the stupid football decisions the Yorks have made in recent years, they’re at least making an effort. They’ve written the checks. They’ve spent the money necessary to field a winning team. I’m not going to run down the list of bone-headed decisions, it’s way too long. Eddie hired Bill Walsh, and the success snowballed. Jed hired Singletary. If Singletary has half of the success Walsh had, and I believe there is potential, we’ll be in pretty descent shape.
