I like Kragthorpe a lot.

Robinson doesn't blow me away.

Too bad this guy will never be available

For what? I just don't like hiring anybody who was shite-canned. Even if it was at a higher position than you are hiring him at. I think it's an immediate lack of credibility with the players that would be hard to overcome.

neither of those 3 was anywhere near the failure of Kragthorpe. Were any of those even technically fired? I'm not saying it couldn't work--clearly, it has before. I'm just saying it's a hurdle, and one we don't need to jump over. Kragthorpe's resume is not worth it.

signed, Gregg Williams.

Some people just make better coordinators than HC's.

I agree, but it's been several years since Greg Williams was fired for sucking. And his resume as a coordinator is much, much better than Kragthorpe's.

OL: Ron Prince

Uhhh...uhhh...

Co-OC: Chuck Long
Co-OC: Mark Mangino

Uhhh...uhhh...

RB: Tony Alford or Jay Johnson ... toss up ... I'll go with Alford

I understand what you are coming from, but NFL is completely diff. People need to realize that.

Position coaches and coordinators are almost always let go when a head coach is fired, and has no bearing on how good a coach they are. Coaches like to install their own personnel. It's pretty much the norm.

I completely understand that and am talking specifically about Kragthorpe who got shite-canned for being an absolute failure as a HC and running the Louisville football program into the ground. Clearly, that is much, much different than Chavis not being retained after Fat Phil was fired.

I was not expecting to read these two names . I wouldnt want Scelfo anywhere around here. In LA he's just another loser of a coach from Tulane. Does Parmalee coach TEs now? He was a running back in the NFL, I didnt know he was coaching now.

OC Mark Whipple
DC John Chavis

You said to be realistic....Chavis isn't going anywhere. And Whipple would be great here.
