All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!

so true.. so true.
That's true ... but he's still avoiding the question.
Would it have been that hard to just say, "I said at the start that we didn't have any set criteria. Mularkey's philosophies seemed to be the best fit for our team. I think a year from now, you guys will be pleased with the choice."
This combined with the lashout at the GW press conference ... I'm starting to think it might be a better idea to get someone else to do our press conferences.
He is right on with that comment. Why hire a coach that just got axed? There are plenty of people in this world that can and want to do the job, they need an opportunity. How the hell will you ever know if someone is the next Lombardi, Billycheck, or Parcells if you don't give them a shot?
If we couldn't have Coughlin then I don't want any of the other guys with previous HC experience. Fresh blood is a good thing, I have a good feeling about Mularkey.

actually.. he did say that.. just after the comment i posted.. rofl.
I think he did address the "criteria' in his comments during the GW's Done press conference. One was that nobody was bigger than the organization. Another was something to the effect that, while past HC experience might be an asset, it wasn't going to be a primary requirement.
Read anything you want into TD's response. Just about everyone has had a preference as to who the new guy should be. Some just have a hard-on against TD so, no matter what he does, somebody's gonna find fault with it.
Someone said "What's he gonna turn out like?" Ha!
And someone else said "Never mind!"

He ultimately did say all of that. This little 'jab' at the media got a laugh from the crowd and was a lot more tongue-in-cheek than the stuff in the GW press conference.

Seriously, I preffered one with experience @ HC . Then I realized Gilbride had experience.
Who knows, we could've hired the next Gilbride. A former HC who's brain deteriorated. Experience or not, every coach is a gamble. I'm sure TD had thought about the pro and cons.
