Seriously doubt the deliberate tank theory.

But if they start Henna anything is possible. I find this pick a “safe” choice in the fact he’s been an OC and there are some connections back to him. It certainly is NOT a bold move or anything that implies a lot of

>>> imagination. Duh. Where would that

come from?

The fact he’s really young is a big plus for this staff.

As others have noted he has 2 arms and 2 legs and has been around some good
golfers and coaches. I’ve heard he likes pizza and spicy chicken wings

and that might prove decisive in the 4th quarter.
Maybe. Seriously. The dude works hard and puts in long hours. Sparano

certainly likes to let everyone know he’s a 20 hour a day mofo so
maybe this guy will keep him company?

Avoiding depression is also important. And Tony being alone is not the best.
Last, we ALL know Henning was in bed by 8PM.

THAT was our #1 problem. Daboll will party way past midnight!
I can’t wait. Maybe. Seriously.

BenVolinPBP Just got off the phone with Pennington. Had some very interesting things to say about Daboll. Also said he will def try to come back next yr

From Volins Twitter

Get rid of Pennington!!!!! I have alot of appreciation and respect, but geez. Draft Locker or Newton, if not, get Quinn from Denver.

Don't worry. Look at all the fantastic work he did in developing Kellen Clemens!

I'm not optimistic about the hire but it won't matter until we get a decent QB anyway.

There is a long list of OC's (and HC's) that were whipping boys because they had a crap QB.

So this guy is going to install an aggressive and creative offense?

I knew this was going to turn out to be a bad situation....just didnt know it would be this bad.


We better hope we get Gabbert.

I think some of you guys are speculating to the point of getting yourself depressed and way to pissed. Not good for the heart, or drinking arms.

You guys pay way to much attention to stats and as a result know very little about intangibles. Things could work out very well here. Should be a very interesting off season.

Agreed. I just hope they can reach a new CBA ASAP instead of waiting until the last minute. No FA or trades or draft player trades really sucks. We can't even sign our own FA's.

No progress can happen without a CBA.

Sparano needed another chubster to walk the stairs with him before every game. I guarantee you Daboll will be slimmer before opening day. Sparano needed a workout partner, that's the reason. Another P90X candidate.

The other guys were either too slimm or too old. That was the problem. I'll bet you Sparano is breaking down Dabolls diet plan right now.

Well first of all, Childress and McDaniels were not gonna come here. Childress has free money, he will not coach next season. McDaniels on the other hand is still very close with Billicheat, he was not gonna come here and burn his bridges. Plus he has a chance to coach a young, stud, QB in Bradford. Come one guys, Bradford or Henne....DUH! Thats a no-brainer.

Secondly, I would rather have Daboll than Chris Palmer, or "Chud". Palmer is Henning 2.0, and "Chud" is just a specific positions coach, and nothing more.

Daboll is 35! Just 35! Plus, the guy had *NOBODY* on his offense, only Peyton Hillis.

Do you guys realize that Norv Turner, Chan Gailey, and Mike Mularkey failed here because of lack of talent. I am not going to hold his time in Cleveland against him.


With that being said, HE BETTER FIND A QB COACH AND A NEW QB!

Draft Gabbert and throw "Daboll".

YEAHHHHH!!!! About time baby!!!

I want to know why my thread was combined! BULLCRAP!

It is a legitimate thread. The thread it is combined with states: "Daboll new OC"


My thread is a totally different topic, discussing three reasons why he was the hire.

BULLCRAP!

---------------------

"When you suck long enough, you get a Hickey"

Not selfish at all.

My post was completely different than the 3 pages of garbage this topic is about.

My topic actually *PRAISED* the Daboll hiring.


COmpletely different than what is on this.

---------------------

"When you suck long enough, you get a Hickey"

Lol I know.. I know buddy I know.

I have no clue what you are talking about.

I started a legitimate thread stating 3 reasons, why he was hired...and actually praising the guy. But you, merge it with 3 pages of feces.

Whatever.

"When you suck long enough, you get a Hickey"

i will say that he comes from a heritage of winning, being with the patriots for all there super bowl titles, and he seems to have done well with colt McCoy for what its worth.

"It's been fun to get the reaction of visiting coaches to the color of their locker room. Most don't notice it, but those that do are in trouble. . . . When I talk to an opposing coach before a game and he mentions the pink walls, I know I've got him. I can't recall a coach who has stirred up a fuss about the color and then beat us.” Hayden Fry

Considering what coach's where out there this move I am not happy about.

I guess we will have to play wait and see.

I just think your going to see alot of the same type of formations we ran last year.

Question is who is going to be our QB, and RB's running them.

Lol hey Twilley!!!! We will average 18.3 points per game next year! You heard it here first!

Lol, daboll. Lol. We ain't going to da boll without this clown

OK, so is:

-Daboll the only guy who would take the job.

-Daboll the cheapest option.

-Daboll the 'safe' pick for Sparano, Ireland, etc. who don't want a coach they fear may be better at his job than they are at theirs.

-Daboll a believer in the same offensive philosophy as Sparano. (As a side question, do we really know what Sparano's philosophy is? Most likely he was just implementing Parcells ideas.)

-Daboll an up and coming talent who deserves a shot.

They definitely could have had other guys. I gotta think that Pennington's glowing endorsement of this guy meant something to Ireland and Sparano.
