    Maybe, maybe not. Let HOPE, Vrabel did NOT have as much influence in the 'offensive' offensive play calls we thought he did.

    The problem with that line of reasoning is that Smith was MUCH more successful under Vrabel than Downing. Downing is indeed the issue.

    While that is true, I do recall complaints on this forum about Arthur Smith earlier on during his tenure here.

    Joe Brady would be my pick to replace Downing

    Yeah and that 4th ranked offense sure validated them… because some ignorant poster gripes doesn’t make it so.

    So was LaFleur. We've had two OC's leave to become head coaches, that's not a bad track record. Agree that Downing was the issue.

    What I remember is after one of our preseason games with him as OC, someone on this board posted something to the effect of 'Well it looks like we found our Offensive Coordinator.' I think most were generally pleased with Art.

    Other than Brady that list doesn't exactly inspire confidence. No to Kingsbury as well.

    My hope is one of the SF candidates get hired as GM and they poach some guys from Shanahan's staff.

    I remember the Mariota nut huggers hating Smith because it was his fault Mariota only could get 120 yards.
