Dorsey- widely credited with having overhauled a miserable Lions team in an extremely short period of time- we desperately need the same.

I hate to say it, I went into the season a giant fan of Steichen, and though I think his play calling has been suspect, his leadership seems to be very very poor. Give me Ben Johnson and his creativeness and aggression as a new direction. if we are sticking with AR, which in my plan we do for one more year of prove it, I want the most creative mind I can find to let him just go for it!

Al Golden- rumor is he wants one shot at the NFL before he hangs them up. The ND defense has been dynamic. He doesn't back down and he has been able to get incredible results despite incredible levels of injury. The scheme is 100% gas- they get after the QB and they assault the ball- everything is forward vs backward. To me a total revseral from dumb fuck Bradley's approach.

AR- I am not ready to throw him away just yet. Close, but not quite there. I have seen parts of the game where it looks like he could become a very serious QB. He needs a plan that allows him to succeed, and I don't think Steichen is capable of that sadly.

Harris over JT- I am tired of JT. Has so many moments of greatness, but you can't dispute the fact he is incomplete and repeatedly comes up small in big moments. Someone will probably be willing to give up a couple decent pics for him, so I do it because we need to stockpile young talent. We need solid football players from teams that have a history of being tough. Harris isn't gonna take it to the crib from 60+ 5 times a game, but he is going to stand in the pocket and allow his QB to get off a deep bomb, he's going to battle for 3 on 3rd and 2, he'll catch the 5 yarders in the middle and take the hit, and he is not going to drop the ball at the .5 yard line. To me he is the type of veteran bridge you want as you look to sign the back of the future.

When I hear Mike Chappell say he thinks Ballard will be back that tells me we are stuck with that clown. Chappy is seldom wrong about things of this nature

So, you want to get rid of JT, but keep Franklin and Speed, aka the podcast clowns?

This speaks volumes about your mindset.

No, I put up my thoughts on what are contentious / "important" personnel decisions. I don't view either of those guys to fit that mold and have said several times- ditch all the WE>ME guys, which they would seem to reside in the penthouse of that shithouse!

JT would be the 1st to go...

I just can't stand that dude! He talks a good game, but is as phony as fuck.

And in his interview after dropping the TD in Denver he said something like "we would have had six more points". Just a dickhead in general. There have been other things. He has talent and elite speed and will score TDs, but I'm not a fan.
