If you're LESS THAN EXCITED about RR... give a shout out

I'm not excited by his public persona or looking forward to his sound bytes, but I don't have problems with his credentials or abilities. Too often teams for coordinator or head coach hire the guy with a few hot years that never quite lives up to it. A lot of competent guys peak with new teams. No one thought much of Belichick coming out of Cleveland. Spags seemed to have the "pedigree" and guaranteed genius we needed.

He's been with some bad teams, the latest being Dallas, which was enough of a train wreck to make an HOF coach like Parcells look awful. He runs the scheme we want to convert to, and has his whole career. He's had one excellent defensive season, and the rest have never been catastrophically bad. I think he can do a good job. If he does I'll sing his praises every day of the week, but he hasn't held even a minicamp practice yet, so I'm done praising or condemning guys as OUR coach until he's been ours doing something. Just because someone had success or failed elsewhere doesn't mean he can't faceplant or excel here and now as our new DC. I won't gush with expectations, but I won't worry about him until I see some regular season games under our belts together.
