    Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

    Will the better play by the team and the fact that they keep winning save the jobs of the coaches? And is that a good thing?

    Personally I want the team to win, but I don't have confidence in this coaching staff.

    I do have confidence in the coaching staff the only alternative is another medicore staff and passing the buck. We need continuity there and we aren't going to go out and pay top dollar for coaches. The biggest mistake these guys have made is letting the team vote for the captain.

        Why is letting the team vote for the captain a mistake? Have you ever played sports before? Who should pick?

          the coaches should pick because when they rightly benched JP it was a stab in the back to all the players. Had they not been empowered to make that choice the situation would be different.

            Good thing. The coaches are solid and are getting our players to play to their potential. We've been snakebitten by injuries and we are two fluke plays away from 6-2.

            I have questioned the coaches at times - even called for their heads after 0-3 - but I really like the direction we are heading. The next few weeks will be telling. Will we continue to roll or will we fall out of contention?

              If they think JP is their leader, it won't matter whether or not he has a "C" on his jersey. If he sucks, they will still have to bench him.

                The more we win, the more I like the coaching staff. Everyone makes mistakes, and the coaches aren't immune from that, but considering how this season has gone so far I don't understand some of the criticism leveled at them.

                Damn...We're 4-4 and appear to at least be headed in some positive direction.

                  Good post. I'd have thanked you, but it appears to be missing.

                    So if the coaches had picked before the season, you're telling me they wouldn't have picked JP? They would have picked Edwards??? WHY?

                      It's a good thing. Our play calling sucks at times but this staff must be doing something right. A lot of teams woulda quit after our poor start + all the injuries.

                        Not to mention the heartbreaking loss to Dallas, followed by 3 wins.

                        Poorly coached teams wouldn't bounce back from a loss like that.

                          Exactly, these players really compete for Dick. He may drive us nuts at times but his staff is strong.

                            Winning is always a good thing, particularly for a young team.

                              That just sounds so wrong. He really should be referred to as DJ in some instances.
