Sturm: Decoding McCarthy - Not Good Enough

[Genghis Khan]

And for a year (1998) he got the offense back on track and revived Emmitt's career after a very poor 1997.

But by the middle of 99, the offense became too predictable. The injuries suffered that season didn't help but neither did calling that jet sweep to Rocket Ismail a thousand times.

I can't blame Gailey. The season and dynasty officially ended when Irvin went down.

Let's minimize Irvin in favor of Ernie Mills was a great modernization plan.

What a shame too.

Because Irvin was having a revival of a year and Rocket was proving to be the perfect compliment up to that point.

Terrible idea that hurt us in 98. In fact, Gailey didn't then want him back in 99 but he was forced to both keep him and then utilize him after Mike got off to such a good start.

We were not behind the times with Gailey. He was a hot shot OC at one time.

Thanks pops, so some 25 years ago we got ahead of the curve with a guy who never really became anything after us.
