Thank you for the article.

I really do not think Romeo will take and work with al.

Rob must be making some phone calls to lis ol New England pals.

He might actually. With Ryan here and getting everything he wants he could have a big influence on Remeo's decision. I don't thiink there is a team out there that needs a HC as badly as we do, maybe Miami.

This would be great. I think we need a defensively minded HC. If you look at the most recent superbowl winners - it has been teams with good defenses. The pats, bucs, and ravens. When we had our three-year reign as AFC West Champions we did so with a very good offense. Each of those years, however, we lost the eventual super bowl champion that had a great defense. The ravens in the AFC Championship game, the Pats with the stupid ass tuck-rule, and the bucs in the superbowl. We need to focus on building a team with a great defense and it starts with the HC.

Now... whether or not he'll want to come... that's a different question.

I don't see this happening because Romeo will have a bigger price tag then last year.There might even be a bidding war.Al will not pay now when he could have had him last year at less of a price.

i read a article today on espn where it said that romeo could land in miami so hope fully ryan influnces him some to come over here but i doubt that will happen. What would be awsome would be if romeo took over as hc and norv as off cord.

I'm sticking with Norv. Crennel is like being an Offensive Coordinator under Gruden, Shannahan, Martz, or Fassel. I am not taking anything away from Crennel, but the guy is the DC with Belicheck on his side.

I think if we turn this around and finish the season strongly coach Turner will stay.

sounds familiar. That same story was written last year about Crennel taking over for Callahan.

That is the million dollar question. If he would or not. Good one Pioneer

Boston Globe....hmmm, aren't they the ones who said the Dillion-to-Oakland was all but a done deal last off season? and where does he end up....the team that this paper covers extensivly

I like Romeo a lot, but it's still a bit early to seal Norv's demise. I still have the feeling that Al will give the local boy Norv at least until the beginning of next season to show that he can win with some consistency.

Norv is a terrible HC. Terrible play calling, terrible motivation skills, terrible personell decisions. Norv is trying to run Ricky Williams's, Steven Davis's offence without a running back of that caliber. For christ's sakes man tailor your offence to what you have today not what you had last year. Norv will be gone 2 years max but hopefully this year.

Romeo is unproven but would team well with Rob Ryan.

We would then need a off Coord. with some imagination.
