Hey, if he were here 6 years and won a Superbowl and then left, I'm not going to be too pissed off about it, I'd be happy for the team's success.  If he comes in and bombs, he might fire himself from the stress without having to worry about Shad taking way to long to do it. 

My concerns are that he tends to be a hard [BLEEP] and we've seen that doesn't work that well in the NFL. And there's questions about his system but I think that could be mitigated a bit by hiring experienced coordinators.

Personally, if I were Shad, I'd probably hire a GM and let the GM pick the coach but I guess we'll find out what he's planning soon enough.

Hiring Urban Meyer seems like an odd choice to me.  Especially at this stage, when they've not interviewed anyone for the job.  It's kind of like "Hey, how about Urban Meyer?"  It makes it seem like Shad and Tony Khan are not serious about how they run the team.  That's the impression it gives me.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. These two know nothing about football. I'm not even sure they like the game. They are soccer people. I believe they know who Urban Meyer is and that he is a big name, so they think everyone loves him, which is not the case at all. Instead of looking for the right people to run the team, they are just looking for big names.
