Quote:But Bradley was his SIXTH choice!  SIXTH!  They didn't even interview his Top 5 candidates!  And they didn't interview Greg Roman (who he didn't want in the first place)!  How could they not interview Greg Roman?!  And now Bill O'Brien who was his third choice, is going to the Texans!  The Texans are getting his THIRD choice. 

 

TMD's worst points tend to be when he's talking about things that didn't happen. I agree with him that the choice of OC and DC leave something to be desired.  But I don't think that it's the end of the world.  Babich learned under Lovie Smith, and we'll see where Fisch goes.  If he doesn't cut it, I believe that Gus will eventually cut ties with his OC. 

 

I'd have no problems with the Bradley analysis had he been initially enthusiastic about it then less than enthusiastic once the coordinators were named. 

 

But that's not how it happened.

 

On the morning of Bradley's introductory press conference, Norv Turner was named Cleveland's OC.  TMD then declared Bradley's tenure as a lost cause, without even knowing who his coordinators would be.  The stuff about the interviews came later.
