[SWAGGANEER]

So we are going to b itch when we don't have anyone, b itch when we think it's a college guy with no exp and b itch when it ends up being an NFL guy with exp. Gotcha.

Well, we are the Tampa Bay **CENSORED**aneers

Now you're getting it!

[Skull and Bones]

who's really **CENSORED**ing in this thread Jeff?  He's not exactly my dream OC but he's probably the best we are going to get.

[bucpimpin]

Maybe he is going to be here until we get McNulty ?

The Bears team completion percentages in 1994 (61.4%) and 1995 (60.2%) rank as the highest in team history. Chicago’s net passing yard total of 3,743 in 1995 ranks second in team annals while the total of 3,185 in 1996 was pushed to sixth in team history by the team’s totals from 2006 and 2007.[1] With Erik Kramer at quarterback in 1995, the Bears set a team record for passing yards per game with 233.9 while compiling the fifth-most points in team history with 392. Kramer set club records with 29 touchdown passes and 10 interceptions (least among 16-game starters).[1] The 1995 squad produced the third-most total net yards (5,673) and the second-most first downs (340) in team history. The offense also featured a 1,000-yard rusher and two 1,000-yard receivers in 1995, the only such season in team history. During his earlier four years with the Bears as offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach under head coach Dave Wannstedt, Turner guided some of the most prolific offenses in club history.

WE'RE DOOMED.

[Bucs N Beers]

I'm not complaining. I'm glad its over.

[Bucko40]

I actually like this hire if the reports are accurate. Let's hope so. Didnt a Ron Turner run a offense that got Rex Grossman to a Super Bowl. Imagine what he could do wth Freeman.

that was the only season his offense was actually good so upside, he can coach a team to good numbers, bad news he hasn't shown the ability to do it in this millenium.

I holding my breath til the press conference is over with.

[smithcar]

I think we should hold off on naming anyone, that way we can save money by only sending Schiano to the combine.  He won't be distracted by having to talk to other coaches that watch other drills and offer him some advice about a potential draft pick.

[Bucko40]

Still no mention on DC. Interesting.

[smithcar]

if it was going to be Butch Davis they would have announced it, that has been going around for a least a week.

[Skull and Bones]

it will be a run oriented offense. 

That's what we want.

some here like to say that you can't win in today's NFL by doing that.  Not saying I totally agree but they make a compelling argument.

[BucsFan4090]

This hire is a decent one if true, if anyone can make Rex Grossman look decent then you gotta account for what he could do with a quarterback like Freeman.

If DTG is correct, the aggressive running game aspect has been filled...but does he fit the role of adding a vertical offense as well into the gameplan?

Either way, this guy is leaps and bounds above Greg Olson as a playcaller for sure. I just hope he can call an effective red zone offense.
