Worst Mistake of the Shanahan Era

Oh to trip back on memory lane. I still wish after Gibbs retiring we made G Williams HC and Saunders asst HC offense and let him run the offense exclusively, choosing who starts between JC and Todd Collins.

Maybe not a long term solution with Vinny still in the picture but I would put that coaching staff against anything we've had since.

yeah and we would have been the bounty gate team.

Exactly, trading one debacle for another.

I think it's super naive to think G Williams is the only or eve last coach to do it. But whatever. People love bandwagons.

At least our D would have been hitting people. Now they are borderline matadors.

D would be legitimate top 10 and offense wouldn't be far behind. Collins and Saunders tore it up for the 2nd of the '07 season. If it wasn't for a million dropped passes and Rogers hoofs in the Seattle playoff game that team had a high ceiling. If there was a strong argument for continuity, it was '07-'08. Can't say the same about today on any level. That says a lot.

Lol

Lol I thought it had everything to do with snyder wanting jason campbell to start. is this incorrect?

It's hard to argue the point about changing the defense. It is obvious that hasn't worked out at all.

I would say a close second is bringing in his son to be the OC. I can understand why he did it as a father, but not as the head coach...

So if you believe that bringing in Kyle was a mistake, then it can be argued that he has made poor decisions with all three coordinators: Offense, Defense and Special Teams...

Just because I'm a stickler for these playoff games (which I think we both should have won)

2005 was when Rogers dropped that pick 6, which would have put us up 10-0 early.

2007 we were down 13-0, scored real quick twice in the 4th quarter to go up 14-13, then they screwed up that kickoff; and Sean (FN!) Suisham missed a extra point length field goal which I'm still angry about to this day; lost all momentum and we some how lost by 21, 35-14 in a game that was way closer than that score would indicate.

2012 was when we set this franchise back 3 years.

Cofield is the problem? Really?

IMO he is part of the problem as he would be better suited to play DE in the 3-4 and would allow for a true monster space eating NT, which he is not . . .

Depends on what type of 3-4 you want. Not everyone has a monster in the middle.
