The coordinators

I'm a little worried though that Gruden isn't the most organized guy in the world.

I think Gruden is best when the organization is in place for him. He's a great X's and O's guy (much like the ol' ball coach), but I'm a little skeptical as to his building a coaching staff. That's where I believe Scot and some of the other top brass are trying to help Gruden with putting together a decent defensive coaching staff. I think that part might be over Gruden's head.

As for game planning, I think we will miss McVay. I think we'll miss him with some of the playcalling. But, Gruden has been a successful offensive coordinator, and he's been a successful quarterback (albeit in the Arena league) and successful head coach (again Arena League), so I don't think he's completely clueless when it comes to designing route concepts and so forth. He's also got another ex-quarterback with Matt Cavanaugh on staff as well, so I think there's enough to keep the continuity going. Still would like that solid OC to come in and buy into the offensive philosophy.

Wonder if Al Saunders is available? (I keed, I keed!)
