If he goes, fine, if he stays, OK so long as the results stay the same.

I expected more out of you when it came to this Bang. Frankly I am dissapointed.

Come on... look at him chewing that gum! It's like he doesn't even care!

If we hadn't just had such a decent year on teams i'd be much more joyful. as it is right now, it's a wash for me.

Epic.

I still don't care if the Steelers sign him. I think Special teams coach is a spot where they could upgrade the most easily.

Okay, I get this, what's your point?

That's pretty damn bad ... not sure what other value he brings. I mean, he has to bring something else? I know he's seem to be pretty active on the sidline when it came to game managment (i.e. calling timeouts, etc.)

He reminds me of a dog.. he gets riled up and starts barking and running up and down the fence.

Even though i've softened on him, i still can't stand seeing him anywhere near the head coach.

Just like Haslett, I can't give him a pass for one decent year. Both of their careers and past years works are enough for Danny and Jimmy to go as far as I'm concerned.

Any ideas on IF Smith walks who is available to take his position with us as our new ST coach?

our choice of many many many young upcoming coaches just pumped for the job.

It does feel like whenever Shanny makes a boneheaded challenge, Danny is right there talking to him. Coincidence? Probably. But I don't care

Nevermind that you ignore the revolving talent over that time period. I guess people value coaches who can turn into gold, and maybe Smith isn't THAT good. It is funny his best years tend to be when this team had the most stability during the Gibbs years.

Thought I'd look and see where the drop is, and the big drop came in punt, and I assume punt coverage. Rocca's stats are a little down, but doesn't seem to account for the nearly 20 point drop. Maybe it has to do with field position.

I better come home from work later and see that Danny Smith went to another team. Please for the love of god let him leave.

I'd imagine it was the return game. Banks was so so on kick returns and poor on punt returns - it was not until he was benched that we broke a decent punt return. Kick coverage was good and once we changed kickers our FG kicking was excellent. Banks was supposedly Smiths guy so his failings fall back on Smith.

Banks won't be back.

I wonder what the contingency plan is if Smith really does move on.

Bang will be the new ST's coach.
