Gayle Benson appreciation thread

Hadn’t posted since yesterday’s news broke.

I’m pleasantly surprised Gayle made the move. Couldn’t stay on for the whole show, but I heard this morning it was “all her” with the decision. Mickey wasn’t going to advocate any sort of change whatsoever.

As a fan since the Bum Phillips days, I can say I honestly thought we’d be stuck with DA a while in much the same way we were stuck with Mora for a few years too long. Happy to be wrong on that one.

After the tragedy of Katrina, it was a young and hungry assistant coach on another team that coached this franchise to unprecedented heights. The decision on a coach should go in much the same manner. It needs to be someone young and hungry, as Payton once was.
