Kudos to Mike for shaking up the coaching staff.
Nice job bringing in quality help for Campen and the offensive line.
I like the hire of this kid from Oklahoma.

Much moreso than I am over Zook. I also noted what he did with Rich Gannon (and to a lesser degree, Aaron Brooks.) Aaron needed to be developed, and Sherman/Rosseley/Favre weren't gonna get that done.

I am excited that McCarthy is giving up his play calling duties. Not because I think he is a poor play caller, but because this will give Tom Clements great motivation to do well and also let coach McCarthy be coach.

Hoping things will work out, but it's a big gamble for an offense that has done extremely well for nearly a decade.

I don't think it's necessarily about fixing the offense it's more about fixing the team. I think Mike McCarthy is just trying to get his hands on the defense and ST and worry about game managing more than he has been able to. Especially when you run a fast paced offense like this, Mike McCarthy probably half the time had no clue what was going on with the team outside of playcalling. That's what he's trying to change not the offense.

Tom Clements is nearing retirement, isn't he? And he's never had play calling duties before, far as I know. That suggests to me that he's probably not "The Guy."

Give Edgar that chance. Dude is new blood. Him and Van Pelt are the up-and-comers. They should be the ones getting the opportunities, not the guy who's old and has no other opportunities.

Tom was OC for the Bills in about '04 and '05 I believe. Vic Ketchman made a good point today in his article

He’ll be overseeing everything about his football team. He’ll be wearing a headset and he’ll hear the calls going into the game. If he doesn’t like a play, he’ll change it. He’ll communicate with Tom Clements: “Tom, let’s kill some clock here,” or “Tom, let’s up the tempo in this next possession.” I remember Ron Erhardt telling me about his days as Bill Parcells’ offensive coordinator. He said he’d be looking deep down his play-call sheet, Parcells would see him and would walk behind him and say, “Run it, run it.” So who’s calling the play, huh? This play-calling thing is being way over-analyzed. These are still Coach McCarthy’s plays being called and executed by Coach McCarthy’s men, and they are subject to Coach McCarthy’s approval.

I may need more perspective here. I ultimately agree with what PFWT said above, I just have been a fan of Mike McCarthy leading this offense which is why I've been hesitant about the change.
