Most of the hires are younger than and/or were playing when I was growing up

Fasten your seatbelt, as it doesn't get any better.

I've moved into the phase where my musical heros aren't dying of drug overdoses any more. Well, sans Petty.

It kinda puts you in your place........in an odd way.

IMO its gonna take younger coaches to get thru to these younger players nowadays the * generation can't handle the old salty dogs .

[Jackie Daytona]

Good to see Alan Williams is official as well..... this just leaves WR,QB, RB's, TE's at this point right?

And the ones that are still alive, it’s kind of sad seeing them on stage. 

 

Except for Bruce, he’s forever young in my mind.  But I digress 

 

Now to look up everything I can about our new ST coach.  

[NewColtsFan]

Ventrone was supposed to come with He Who Shall Not Be Named.

 

I'm fine with the hire.  There's no reason not to bring him in.

No their special teams coordinator Joe Judge was who was going to follow McDaniels this guy is his assistant.

No he wasn't, it was Joe Judge

OK.....     the other NE ST coach.   

 

People here are objecting to the fact that Ventrone comes from NE.

 

I'm simply sayng there's no reason to get bent over this....

Right, which would have been a lateral move for Judge. Ventrone was assumed to take over for him.

Part of me feels strange even sad liking your post BC, but deep down I know how difficult it is to lose influential artists that you grew up with who have since passed on. A tough blow no doubt.

Yeah, my last concert was Deep Purple, Alice Cooper and Edgar Winter last Aug.

Deep Purple was a huge disappointment because they just played through with no passion and was nothing like I seen them in their hay day. Edgar Winter was pretty good but he opened and didn't play very long. Now Alice Cooper put of a fantastic show. The thing is all of his band members were in their 20s and 30s. He really surprised me on how well he can still sing. Matter of fact he sounded better than I had ever heard him.

Heck, if teams didn't hire "rejects" there wouldn't be enough coordinators or trainers to keep the NFL going.

 I am now going to be able to see my favorite band of all time the last time this band toured I was too young to go see them. I'm heading to see the Electric Light Orchestra in Detroit in August. several members of the man have died over the last few years but at least Jeff Lynne and Richard Tandy are still with the band. They finally got inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year and I for one was happy to pay $270 a ticket to go see them in August  small price for a bucket list item

I saw ELO twice back in 1974. Great shows. One night opening act was an ELP style band from Germany called Triumvirat. They killed it that night.  Enjoy the show.

Was Steve Morse playing guitar for Deep Purple? He's been touring with them for several years now but I'm not sure if he's still with them. He's one of my favorites. I have one of his signature guitars.
