Arizona Cardinals hire away DC Patrick Toney; Austin Armstrong new DC

[soflagator]

I was asking ox in hopes of less frequent trips to his mind camp. Unless there are prostitutes (hot ones that have always been female, mind you) there. I never got a straight answer from @soflagator on this point.

There was an issue with the paperwork, so I was denied entrance until they could clear it, and then decided to bail on the whole thing. Keep that between you and I though, because I think Ox is under the impression I actually went.

I don't think his looks will effect his abilities, unless the players can't take him seriously because of them. His hot wife certainly didn't have a problem with them, that gives him more credibility to the team.

To answer Back Alley's question, the fan base automatically hates every coach until they prove they should be no longer hated.

To be fair, we’ve gone from a swamp donkey who intentionally refused all dental norms and had Stillwell Angel as his DC, to a hunchback Cousin Eddie, to now this Armstrong guy. I hope he’s great, but I’d be lying if I said part of me wouldn’t really just like someone that isn’t immediately tied to a movie and mocked for it.

I don't care if they look like the Elephant Man if they can actually coach. I'm not sleeping with the guy.

 

[Theologator]

So.. Do we like him?

I like him and hope his youthful energy will inspire the defense to play hard, fast and with passion. He’s saying the right things, which is good. But many sound good. We won’t know until we see the effects on the field. But he’s our guy and support is important to success.

Your not?

 

[Back Alley Gator]

Hell, I already like him better than Toney. I can't imagine he would be any worse. I just can't.

No one has insinuated that. I’m not even sure what you’re talking about.

I remember saying that about Chimp. Then Butters.

Me thinks he doth protest too much.

So we have the Slingblade & Sandlot show now?

 

[Durty South Swamp]

I guess it's too much to ask for someone who has some experience and a proven quality track record. We are now OJT U.

I feel that way about posters

Like Todd Grantham?

He had a proven sht track record. I said a proven quality track record. Are you really now attempting to argue that we shouldn't or can't get a proven good DC or that a kid who just hit puberty is just as good?

Maybe he ends up being dick lebeau but are we really now at the point where we need to pretend that he's equivalent or better and that Florida is just a stepping stone for fresh face newbies to get their first real football experience? This is absolutely embarrassing take by you.

What I'm saying is the unicorns you are describing (experienced DC's with a proven quality track record) are not out there to be hired. Even Kevin Steele, the experienced DC Saban just hired, is coming off a losing record and has bounced all over the effing place, because no one will hire him as a head coach. If we had hired him you'd be bitching about that, too.

Any DC's worth a sh!t are hired away as head coaches. I'd rather try a young up-and-comer than some old failed retread, especially since this team is nowhere near competing for any titles. It's not like we're one piece away.

Your argument makes more sense for head coaches, not assistant coaches.

He’d bitch, piss and moan at anyone we hired. He’s checked out and is simply miserable with Gator football at this point.
