    Doesn't the SUPER young OC always fail in his first job?

    This seems like a bad idea. I'm trying to remember the last young OC without any HC experience to make it. Jon Gruden I guess? He was 34 or 35.

    Now is down to the Chargers to pick their coach. The 49ers are really liking Josh McDaniels, so I think it's pretty clear he is going there. The Chargers should hire Kyle Shanahan.

    Aaron Donald might be the next JJ Watt after all.

    I wonder why the change? Romeo did a great job.

    Interesting move. I can't remember a situation where there was an Asst. HC that wasn't a coordinator.

    Love it. This is more about retaining Vrabel than anything else. I like that they were aggressive with this.

    Now promote Rick and bring in a new GM!!!

    Assuming b/c they didn't want to lose Vrabel since Romeo won't be around much longer. It's not like Romeo won't have a huge role with the defense still. Everybody gets a raise and a promotion, everybody happy, everybody wins.

    It was mentioned above but this is mostly about keeping Vrable around bc he's a hot commodity. RAC DID do a great job and his contract as DC was up so this move is a promotion.

    Maybe Romeo was ready to step back. He's almost 70.

    Great move to be able to keep both. Now if they can just fix that crapfest of an offense.
