Hail.
Let's say Mike gets the boot and Kyle takes over, plus we get a new GM. Are we still looking at Romeo and Morris in this scenario?

When you put it that way I'm sold on the guy. Rex might not want to come here whereas Pettine would. And I agree a hundred percent about just wanting the D to get better. Whatever will fix that side of the ball I'm game for.

Wikipedia:
His wikipedia is wrong.. Raheem was promoted to DC for 1 month then Gruden/Allen were fired. During his tenure as Head coach he took over as DC as well for a year and a half.

That is wrong information...

Brady bought him a lot of leeway, so whoever he brings in (Haynesworth, Gaffney) or gets rid of (Seymour) it's viewed as "shrewd" and "a great move" no matter how bad it is.
You have conveniently forgotten that the Browns were very good in his last year in Cleveland before Model announced he was moving the team in the middle of the year. You also seem to conveniently forget that in 2001 Tom Brady didn't really turn into a dominant passer until their last Superbowl win the team Bellicheck won the first Superbowl win was terrible the year before. Don't let your discontent for Bellicheck's succes blind you. He's a hall of fame head coach.

We are going to see how it plays out and what the brain trust decides but Rah is still in the running. How these last few games go will determine a lot for this team going forward.
So you're saying Hasbeen is officially out? Or, are they unsure? An official debate makes it sound like someone wants to keep Haslett. The next few games??? The defense has to step it up now or heads will roll. If we don't beat the Iggles outright, I think it might be over for all the coaches. The team has to make a statement. Players, coaches, owner and fans. Let's do it! Beat Philly!
Granted, we've lost talent on both sides of the ball. Seems to me that an untalented defense should be more aggressive. Haslett is too conservative lately. That's why I'm calling for his head. Who will replace him, I don't know. Just keep any of the Ryan brothers out of D.C. thank you.

Nah, you just don't want to derail it because you'd lose ;) :pfft:
Anyway, back OT, glad to hear that we're pushing Haz out at the end of the season.

Not to mention Bill has won without Brady. TB had a season ending injury in the first game of the season in and the Pats finished with an 11-5 record with Matt Cassell starting at qb.

At least that's how your boy got there ; )
Good addition, DC, and I know there were other angles beyond the ones I mentioned suggesting there might be a possible promotion of Raheem. Also, reading NLC's excellent reply to OF, I want to note that my post didn't criticize anyone for projecting Raheem as a possible DC here, as I simply didn't feel there was any big reason to criticize. Speculating on him is as reasonable as most other speculations (I knew he had far more than a month experience).

That would be a good hire.
