Wow - Gus Bradley got another Defensive Coordinator job.

And it is with a division rival - the Titans!

However, looks like new Head Coach Robert Saleh will be calling the defensive plays on game day, not Bradley.

The Titans are hiring Gus Bradley as their defensive coordinator, sources tell The Insiders.

Robert Saleh adds a trusted piece to his staff.

Yeah, I was laughing heartily at the Titans as I skimmed the story about it until I read that Saleh will still be calling the plays.

Damnit.

Ehh, I think the Colts success on 4th down had more to do with Jonathan Taylor and the offensive line than it did with Gelman.

Tom Brady had missed that entire 2008 season with a knee injury, yet somehow Belichick's team went 11-5, anyway ...... and in addition to that, when Brady returned the very next season the Patriots went 10-6, and were blown out by the Ravens in the Wildcard round of the playoffs on their homefield in Foxborough.

The Matt Cassel-led 2008 Patriots team didn't make the playoffs that year even though they had a record of 11-5, because the AFC was stacked in 2008. They are only one of 2 teams ever not to make the playoffs with an 11-5 record (the 1985 Denver Broncos were the other 11-5 team to do so) ...... and in hindsight, I think that it's a shame that that 2008 team didn't make the playoffs because if they had and had done well (with Matt Cassel at quarterback), it would have put an undeniable, permanent stamp on the fact that those Patriots teams were loaded on both sides of the ball, and were led by one of the greatest coaches of all-time.


As I stated before, Bill Belichick led the Patriots to 9 Super Bowls in his tenure as coach ...... but I would argue that his best year as a head coach was when he led the Patriots to an 11-5 record with Matt Cassel at quarterback.

And people say Manning was bitter because the Colts cut him. I think Brady is the bitter one.

And Reich is back in the NFL...not as a Head Coach but as an Offensive Coordinator.

I guess that interim gig with Stanford scratched an itch and he decided he wasn't finished coaching yet.

Reich also was Stanford’s interim head coach last season, but now he returns to the NFL.

Damnit.
Play calling wasn't Bradley's biggest fault, it was his lack of holding players accountable. I don't expect that to change. Tit's fans will be severely disappointed.
