If Fox goes...

will Meeks and the rest of the staff go with him? If so, and there is a house cleaning of sorts, will JRich trade away players with value and start over? Thoughts?

Just depends on how they hire.

^This...with Meeks only one year in, an ideal sitution would be an up-and-coming assistant with an offensive backgroud, as I think Meeks has a good handle on the defense (sans the run defense). Honestly, I think a good percentage of our coaching staff is fine, with the obvious exception of the HC, ST and possibly OC (I truly belive Fox's conservative philosophy and Jake's bad QB play are making Davidson's playcalling look worse than it actually is). Fox is a nice guy and a good coach, but I just think he's taken us as far as we can go under his leadership. It's time for a change.

If Jerry actually pays attention to our team. He would see that a Offensive-minded coach would be best for our team. Hiring a defensive coach would be stupid since our defense would have to learn a whole new system...

our defense is going to be just fine. its our first year under meeks and the scheme is great. injuries have really hurt us and getting another DT would be a great addition for the future.

i am as excited about our defense's future as i have been in several years. an offensive minded coach who could bring in a young QB and train him would be perfect.

i still say shanahan is the best man for the job. i know many disagree but he's the best experienced coach available. otherwise, we'd need to find a hot OC from some other team to come in.
