Brilliant move. Plus, we stole him from the Bears, who were about to hire him the next day.Every coach Mannion played for in the NFL (including Lafleur in LA) said having him in the QB room was like having a second quarterback coach, and several said he's a future head coach if he wants it. Cousins (4 years older than Mannion) said something to the effect that Sean had taught him more than most actual QB coaches, and made him a significantly better quarterback. A lot of Viking fans were furious that we hired him; apparently a lot of people in Minnesota assumed that when he retired, he'd join their staff.This guy is a brainiac - Wonderlic score of 40, 4.6 GPA in his multi-disciplinary master's program at Oregon State... I can't wait to see how much of an effect he can have on Love.</blockquote>
