i agree with many things in this article but have to take with a grain of salt. tanny himself bragged on hard knocks about it being his idea to get santonio and rex was on record for not wanting stephen hill with our #2.
clearly it's the first. otherwise everytime you sit down there's no guarantee you'll be able to get back up and make it to the john.
would you rather the patriots win the superbowl or sanchez start all 16 games for us next year?
these are all big boys who have security of employment contracts with buyout clauses that few of us have. besides nfl teams are for the most part sophisticated enterprises and if someone wants sparano for OC or less they can pick up the phone and ask permission to talk to him. can you see the jets saying "no"?
hope you're right -- id dump him and take 100% of the cap hit next year. lost season anyway. problem is rex will be fighting for his job and can't afford the best longterm approach. once the new GM gets on board we'll see whose philosophy wins out...
ouch. never knew tanny wanted henne to back up sanchez. although not like rex would've yanked sanchez anyway until the season was lost.

if you're going to keep sanchez why would any qualified want the OC job knowing they will be fired at the end of next season? and if you can't get a qualified candidate, why just throw some random in there to say you made a change?
all true but then why not hire an OC with a modern philosophy and give that person the autonomy to implement his system? ego or result of rex lobbying to devote disproportionate resources on the D?
