1998 Whack at KG by Detriot Free Press

[stuckincincy]

Source: Excerpts from Detroit Free Press, 1998 Football Preview: AFC Scouting Report : West Division Aug. 27, 1998 (www.freep.com/sports/football98)

"Kevin Gilbride, coach, second year
1997: 4-12
1998 Prediction : 3-13"

"Anyone connected with the Chargers now has a much clearer understanding why Buddy Ryan took a punch at Gilbride when they were working together at Houston."

"Gilbride arrived with big ideas but hasn't gotten along with his players, the media or the fans."

"He has a new QB in (rookie) Ryan Leaf."

"Nothing has gone right since Coach Bobby Ross left after '96 season. Gilbride could coax only 17 TD's out of his complicated offense, which was supposed to be a panacea."


Gee...I didn't know he had a hand in the Ryan Leaf deal. :clap:

Its funny this should come up, last night i was up late, and i was watching the nfl films greatest games on espn. They were doing the comeback game, and on 3 seperate occasions the houston players said it was some of the worst play calling they have ever seen from KG, i got a kick out of that.

Why not? I think an OC is a HUGE part of the development of a rookie QB.
