Quote:Shack and Jack took over a roster already being rebuilt. Coughlin didn't "blow it up". He let go of a lot of veterans in 2002 but still had Brunell, Taylor, Smith, Brady, Meester, Maurice Williams, Stroud and Darius. And in 2002 added Garrard, Naeole and Henderson.

 

Trying to compare the two situations is laughable.

 Where did you do post graduate work, Jagley?  Were critical reasoning and comparative analyses part of the curriculum? 

 

This rebuilt roster that Jack inherited with the players listed above, consisting of the aged cap-strapped veterans who went 6-10, 6-10 in 01 and 02 and the rookies were supposed to then get great? Oh guess what, they actually developed, exponentially, they went 5-11, 9-7, 12-4.  Did you expect more?  Were they so superior to the current regime...isn't it the same formulae, fresh blood for likely growth.  Or are you contending that had the Jags kept a few more vets before Bradley/Caldwell took over they'll be in better shape?  Didn't they decide to part ways with the vets, Knigton, Smith, Mathis n co?  Were they cap casualties as was the case in TC to JDR era?  I am not following.  I thought they let these guys go because they didn't consider them worthy.  Help a laughable guy mate.
