Dare I say it... I think I miss Dan Henning?

Watching the MNF game right now.. I'm relativeley impressed with the Miami playcalling. And it made me remember how things were when he was here... Especially in the post season.. When post season came around, it was like our offense played at an entirely new level (except for the Seattle game, in which case, we were pretty much done with injuries anyway)...

I mean, he was the one who developed the "wildcat" offense.

Or am I just crazy?

I don't think your crazy. Dan Henning didnt have much to work with in 06, Foster?(:laugh:), Bad oline?, Steve Smith the only competent receiver on the team?. Look what he did in '05, any offensive coordinator that can make the post season with foster as your starting runningback and steve smith the only viable offensive weapon is a great one in my book.

The wildcat predates hennnigs use of it by at least 8 years

Henning is a creative offensive mind that was stiffed by Fox's constant tinkering. So was Trgo IMO. If Fox would just realize that someone new needs to be coaching this D and let Meeks just take it over. Same goes for Davidson. Just take a step back Fox before you choke the life out of this team.

Does anyone notice a trend here? Dan Henning leaves and the offense in Miami is so much better with him. Mike Trgovac leaves and the defense in Green Bay is so much better.

MASTER! MASTER! Master of puppets are pulling your strings...

LOL, Turgo is the line coach. Capers is the DC in Green Bay. Now Kevin Greene is the linebackers coach so there's your real upgrade. :D

Yes, Im fully aware of that. They're a better defensive line now correct? It all starts up front.

they also have a first round pick DT, several new defensive players, and a more effective 3-4 scheme. hes a part, but they aren't better just because of him. maybe we should have just demoted him. the thing is here, i doubt we will ever see what a DC can actually do, because this is John Fox's defense.

    • Just had Thanksgiving meal with a couple dozen family and friends. I lucked out and got one of the smoked turkey legs. Stuffing, mashed taters and gravy, green bean casserole, sweet potato casserole, kale, smoked ham, chicken and rice, corn, lima beans, cranberry sauce, and great people. My brother got his guitar out and we got to singing. Lots of actual conversations with people I hardly  ever get to see, haven't seen in a while, or who I never met before. Just a great moment to remember.
    • 3-8 would be a higher win percentage than 3-9
    • Same... With the personnel the Niners had, that defense could have been historically good in the right hands. Under Wilks they were certainly good, they didn't quite rise to that level. Honestly, I see Wilks kinda like I see Rivera: fantastic person, decent head coach. Skill wise, phenomenal DB coach, so-so DC. His greatest strength is his leadership. Hard to find many better in that department. In the Xs and Os / execution area though, not as good. Bottom Line: Wilks is the sort of coach that needs a staff that excels in those aspects of the game where he's weaker. But, like Rivera, I don't know that he scouts assistants very well. That as much as anything might be why he's not in the NFL now.
