That, MissingTBone, is a great statement.
Everything else will rise or fall w/ those choices.
All you have to do is look at the daboll choice this year.

Pros:
Winning record, especially in the playoffs.
Can win with QBs that are less than elite (when was the last time Philly had an elite QB?).
Is offensive minded and knows how to use speed backs to open up the passing game (i.e. Charles).
Is experienced and has been around the league long enough and is well liked, so he could probably attract strong coordinators and positional coaches.
Offensively minded, which IMO where we had the least amount of direction.
Cons:
Philly seemed to have no direction the last few years (GMs fault or Reids?).
At times Philly seemed to lack discipline.
Age - how much longer will he coach? I want someone here that is going to build a dynasty.
Question marks:
Defense. He didnt seem to be dedicated to one defensive scheme, so maybe he wont switch to a 4-3 (I dont want us to switch). But when he didnt have a strong coordinator, they seemed to fall apart defensively. Maybe he would want to keep our current defensive staff (i.e. Gibbs as DC).
Gibbs did make the D better , but , I'd rather he go back to linebaker coach.
And if he's too much of a players coach , based on your comment about lacking dicipline jap1 and i feel the same about them , both CO need to be diciplinarians no question about it.
Fox sports affiliates in Philly are reporting reid could be hired by MIDNIGHT by the chiefs
Though "years" is a subjective term... if you mean 2 then yes. But what Weiss accomplished in 2010 with this offense which arguably had less "weapons" with bigger holes (especially o-line) was pretty great.
The same QB we all want run out of town went to the pro bowl... pretty amazing what coaching can accomplish.
also reports now that reid never made it to arizona and has informed them that he will no longer be interviewing for their job
This could be very good if it's true!! Where are you reading this?
