Quote:I think he's a decent coach, but like you said I think he lacked the proper preparation.  Just like Fred Taylor said when he went to NE to play, he said " the difference between a Shell hotdog and Ruth’s Chris steaks."


 

He also said something interesting about Del Rio which most of us feel about Gus Bradley:


 

“At the end of the day, [Del Rio] is not a head coach,” Taylor told Eric Adelson of the PostGame.com. “He’s a great defensive coach. But he’s not a head coach.”

When reading what you mentioned,  it reminded me of what Rashean Mathis said recently.   While Mathis didn't mention JDR by name,  it doesn't take much to connect the dots:

The 12-year veteran is also drawn to the idea of continuing to play for coach Jim Caldwell.

"The coaches know my feelings on that," Mathis said. "Coming back here and finishing something that we have started, that Jim has started, I would love to. He's definitely the best NFL coach I've ever had, in a number of ways."
