I completely agree with you Indy. I had tickets to two or three games down in the first few rows and heard so much second guessing from the players it was an absolute joke.

Now does this mean that yfanatico is Jake Kuresa? Actually I think I know who it is and I'm almost certain that Indy knows. What a cancer.

As for the coach, it sounds like it was a special teams incident so my bet would be on Pat Higgins or Barry Lamb. I have no opinion on whether or not the coach should be fired but I do think that our Special Teams play was subpar this year. Our talent deficiency is definitely a factor there.

The kicking game seemed erratic. Our punter can kick the crap out of the ball but shanked it more times than he got a foot on it. That first punt at the Las Vegas bowl was an NFL caliber kick but he wasn't at all impressive for the rest of the game.

Also, is anyone else excited that David Nixon and Fui Vakapuna are back from their missions? I expect big things from both of those guys. I think Nixon will contribute next year. Fui may take a year to get back into form but that kid was a bruiser and I'll think he'll be a solid player. Seeing him wear #6 gave me Staley flashbacks.

a guy that has been let go and come back more than once. He almost got fired when Bronco was named DC under Crowton. From the players I've spoken with, dude is an ass.

I would. He is a hell of a coach.

From what I have been told he is not a hell of a coach and his players are afraid to even approach him with questions. He obviously has done some things well or he wouldn't be a coach but just from what I have heard we would be better served by replacing him.

He is a very good recruiter, one of the best on the staff.

Aha! So he is male and a good recruiter AND on the staff. We're zeroing in on this one baby! Will one of you at least post it in the crypt?
