Whiz hopes that one day when he grows up he can be anything near Arians.

I am not one of the people that believe that Whiz had nothing to do with the success in 2008/09 and that it was all Kurt. That being said I believe Kurt was the biggest reason that team had that success. BA has been the head coach for only 2 play-off games. One was a loss with a rookie Andre Luck against the eventual champion Ravens and the other one was last year with Lindley as his starter. If he has a healthy Palmer all year this year than I am certain that he will taste some post season success this year.

Pagano was back for that playoff game. Arians only playoff game as HC was last year.

I give thanks every day for Michael Bidwill, Steve Keim, and Bruce Arians. These three have totally changed the culture of this, (once), inept program. I am so very, very, pleased to have been a part of the tiny few who sensed this coming with the way that these three bucked all the 'trends' and set about doing what needed to be done. They have acted of (singular) mind set, and without fear of, or concern for, the nay-sayers who protested so vehemently, or who proclaimed them to be of little or no worth from the very beginning. Many of those Whisenhunt hangers on, went so far as to proclaim that this 'triumverate' had done nothing to earn their support or respect, and there are still those today who take every opportunity to deride any action by Keim, as being the 'telling' sign of his failure as a draft manager.

I am so very happy just going along with this ride and totally enjoying it, along with a few select friends, that the slurs, and derisive remarks that we put up with during the transition, can now be worn as battle scars of pride and conviction that this 'group of three' has not yet made a bad move along the way as they created this wonderfully conceived roster, and coaching staff, and scouting department, that just keeps giving and giving and giving. How great it is to 'BASK' in the glow of their wonderful achievements.

Bruce Arians' "You ain't (poo)!" speech can be really appreciated by watching the Eagles vs. Jets game. Todd Bowles' new team came out looking like they spent more time reading their headlines than respecting the process of preparing for the Eagles. The Jets finally did manage to pull their heads out and show they were the more dominant team, but it was too late to earn a win.

BA knew it would be easy for the players to slack-off after two (fairly) easy wins, and knew just when to remind them of the need to focus.
