I really like Scott Linehan as an Offensive Coordinator. Im not really sold that he had anything to do with Stafford regressing, as much as I think Stafford just wants to do **** his own way.

What do you all think about him as an OC?

It would depend upon who the head coach is.

I don't see Philbin's ideals and Linehan's ideals meshing. I do really like Linehan's style of offense though. He and Chudzinski are similar in some ways. Chud is more rooted in the Coryell system that uses two backs, whereas Linehan is more of a Dennis Erickson one back that uses the vertical passing offense to open up the power running game.

I said it in Club: I would kill to have Linehan here.

As far as Philbin: he shouldn't be a factor because he really should be fired.

The year 2005?

Headcoach material wouldn’t want to work somewhere they’re not trusted with actual football decisions.

I'd hire him as an assistant offensive coordinator in charge of the screen game.

Could do wonders for Chambers, err Wallace.

Screen game, what's that?

Is that when U throw the ball behind the LOS and the receiver gets hit for a loss?

Enough fired losers. His offense went 7-9 and lost its last four games. We have an offensive coordinator who is better than that right here at home.

what a horrible opinion mike Sherman just flat out sucks and he is the worst offensive coordinator I have ever seen Scott L. is a good .o.cc he didn't cause himself to be fired that should be pinned on the dufus of a head coach.

Unless Philbin is fired, you shouldn't expect a guy outside of the WCO tree.

Yeah, Dis....he's certainly not a WCO disciple...Don't see that happening, unless there is a new regime...

My apologies. I should have said we have a total loser with a better record right here at home.
