    It's about time. Shame we didn't send Grier packing with him. But ya know, Stephen Ross is actually dumber than Grier apparently.

    I wonder if he wants to stay a special teams coach now that he’s had a taste of being the head honcho.

    Crossman was long overdue.

    Interesting enough, the special teams unit tends to be a microcosm of the overall quality of depth in a given roster.

    It is possible that when a GM may have failed to equip the team with capable backup linemen, linebackers, safeties and skill positions the special teams coordinator, serves as a nice scapegoat. For example, I, Eddie Jones, fearful of losing my job because I’ve failed to fill out a roster with adequate talent, may opt to run Mike Westoff out of town and scapegoat him for an underperforming special teams unit, and close the case there.

    Food for thought.

    I get what you’re saying and there could be some truth there with faltering teams with jobs on the line, but I don’t think that’s the case here.

    How Crossman survived as long as he did astounds me.

    This. Aside from Sanders (who wasn't a Crossman product) special teams has consistently been bad to awful. Mistakes everywhere, unprepared and bringing nothing to the table.
