Dude? Are you drinking? Who said anything about an emotional hire? Wasn't in the post I replied to. You said we succumbed to our pecking order. His resume is very similar to Mullen's when we hired him.Quote:

Yep, he is!Quote:

Arnett handles the defense.
Let the OC handle the offense. Just like before.
Only difference is instead of Leach calling the plays the New OC calls the plays. If we promote someone on the offensive staff, then continuity is maintained. Just jobs switch around.
Yes, thought of that. And without being close enough to the situation, hard to know how much that played into it. But yes could have been a major element. Has to be tough to play that against the look of replacing The Pirate so quickly.Quote:

Leach was a hr hire - we got a ?dude? in a league full of dudes
We did succumb by making an emotional hire - how is it not - Leach hasn?t been with us for what 48 hrs - Arnett may prove to be a dude - I do love the guys fire
He's got a lot of fire. Just watch him on the sideline. Reminds me of Matt Campbell.Quote:

i don't have a problem with this call. 1 also agree right now we have to bring in an OC who runs a version of the air raid.
It's a major difference. Arnett has never made a decision to go for it on fourth down or not. He has the final say in everything. It can be very distracting to do that and run a defense. Most coaches honestly can't do both.Quote:
