In regard to this thread however, I never understood why we let Casserly go in the first place, on top of that I didn't understand why the Texans did the same. He is a great football mind and has made some good decisions. His job was to bring in the talent, which he did. It is up to the coach to get them to win...but Casserly got fired.

Well.......I've heard that works too!

We could use another Sotkes or Johnson. When we acquired Geathers, he was older than Andre Carter when we got him and Carter has given us nearly twice as many sacks.

Geathers job was simply to cave in the pocket, not to be an every down starter like they're doing with Carter. His sack total may not have been high but he was very disruptive forve. Basically my point was Casserly put together a team, guys he thought could play well together, not a cast of superstars. I remember bringing in RC Theilmann and drafting Martin Mayhew, or how about Brad Edwards who could've won the MVP of that SB. I just want a guy that knows how to build a team or has experience in doing it.

Don't forget he also brought Matt Millen. Jumpy Geathers was a beast of a man, I remember seen him pick Guy McIntery of the 49ers and toss him to the ground like a ragdoll.

I think he called that move the "Forklift".

Wasn't part of the reason Casserly was fired was because Snyder knew Casserly would oppose Snyder's Free Agent Spending spree?
