Gailey was head and shoulders better than Campo.

He still was unaware how to push buttons. He was basically disappointed Dad. Campo was like a cool sub that hung around longer than he should have. You could tell when Parcells took over, some no wikey.

The Vikings totally had our number while Gailey was here in spite of Emmitt running for a lot of yards against them. Yeah I know Moss, etc. but they beat us three times during Gailey's time, and each win was decisive. No answer vs the most dangerous teams. Dude was out of his depth.

That was a really good Vikings team, to be fair.

I'm not saying Chan is an all timer or anything but I think he did a better job than he gets credit for.

I had much more visceral hatred for Campo.

At least Chan never got in a damn wetsuit.

I always thought Ernie Mills was one of the better moves Gailey made, but he wasn't ready to be a head coach.

For Chan, it was always about what gimmick bullshit he could pull on offense. No systematic interaction between run and pass. No defensive philosophy. No sense of discipline and preparation in all three phases, and utterly no idea about how to prepare a team for the playoffs.

I mean there were entire stretches where we wouldn't pass the football because he didn't have confidence the team had grasped his lame-assed system.

It got to a point where Boomer Esiason is on national television saying, "Here's a thought, THROW the ball, you've got Troy Aikman!"

Emmitt was still in his prime, and Chris Warren and Rocket Ismail were more great additions, but he completely dipshitted out regarding Michael Irvin.

Look in the mirror. If you can't figure out how to get a fucking Hall of Fame player involved in your offense, there's a good chance the guy staring back at you is a complete IDIOT.

Jerry thought he had made a good hire because after the Jimmy breakup and Barry fiascos he wanted there to be no confusion about who was coaching the team, and because of that that coach needed to be calling plays.

It was stupid, set us back, and wasted Troy Aikman's final good years-- maybe even started a chain of events that prematurely ended Aikman's career.

Didn’t Aikman want Donahue? I don’t think he would’ve done any better.

Shockey would be looking at a suspension and hours of "sensitivity training" if that happened today.

There is only one thing I will ever remember about Shockey...

I'm sure they wouldn't even dare to repeat such a harmful and triggering word nowadays. The broadcast would be clutching their pearls and not utter such a vile word to protect everyone's sensitive ears.

It was a little weird hearing that. Not as much as Fred Sanford saying the N word, but same idea. :unsure
