To have the front office and coaching staff on the same page will be amazing for us after the shit show we just live thru.

I'd guess the potential is here for the GM and HC to be even more in sync than the best of the Dungy/Polian days. Think about how much Polian ignored repeated, critical deficiencies on the defensive roster, year after year. All those years he needed his Sapp, or at least his Booger McFarland, and Polian couldn't or wouldn't deliver the key piece to make that defense work. Do you think that was done w/Dungy's blessing? Doubt it.
