Message: [QUOTE="SoBristol, post: 468062, member: 485"] Most of that is just guess work and blather on your part. If I am an NFL GM, I give some credit to Doug for assisting the Saints as OC and line coach (keeping in mind that Sean Payton was the offensive genius) and lots more credit for what he has done as a HC in rebuilding SU. The NFL wasn't knocking on Doug's door before this season. But that is a side issue, as is your guesswork that assistants are here because of Marrone and can't be replaced. Daost & Morrison, for example, came to work with Shafer, who they both knew from prior gigs. Hackett came for the opportunity off Marrone's 4 win season. Look, I would stretch to keep Doug and keep the staff intact. He proved he could rebuild and overcome obstacles of pay & facilities. Bottom line, if he wants NFL dollars, our AD will need to scramble but he has better selling points than he did the last time around. [/QUOTE]
