[QUOTE="warhawk, post: 120709, member: 431"] Then why didn't someone snap him up when many others without HC experience went before him? Last year was a golden opportunity for a guy perceived around the league as having HC capabilities to be given the nod. Something like nine HC positions were filled. If he's that good he wouldn't have gone 0-9. Heck, a few teams took others as Defensive Coordinator over Bates after all the HC jobs were filled and it was clear that was all he was going to get at that point. There's more to all this than we as fans know when it comes to selecting a HC. For one, we have made a 100% committment to the zone blocking scheme having hired JJ and drafting Spitz, Colledge, Moll, and, starting Wells who fits that system perfectly. For all we know Bates doesn't have a clue what is involved in that offense. I would rather see MM grab on to a guy that is experienced and established that he has enough confidence in to turn the "D" over to. An "Assistant Head Coach" type that MM can cut loose. This would make more sense than getting a defensive orientated HC who cannot add their expertise to what we want to get done on offense. Also, remember, MM is known for his strength in preparing QB's for the NFL. Can Bates or another Defensive Coach get Rodgers or another young guy prepared to play in this league? It's not like we won't need that type of coaching ability sooner than later. [/QUOTE]
