We can put that hope to rest

 

[desertdawg]

I hope he doesn't retire and stays there, best case scenario for the Cards if it's like that.

 

[SeattleCard]

I have one word: Shucks.

 

[Mulli]

I say good.

Truth. Keeps the door open for Butler.

But the $64 question remains: does Whiz pull the trigger on Bowels or another prospect before the Superbowl so is not to be snatched up by another team?

Bowles. Not Bowels.

Bowles. Not Bowels.

oops. That is an extreme epic fail on my part

 

[WarnerHOF]

Just saying but this doesn't really rule anything out. No coach is going to say they're going to leave the team two weeks out from the superbowl.

Sounds like if Whiz goes Bowles, we can look at the secondary being the strength of the defense, and expect better play from everybody playing defense with more focus and attention. Probably won't blitz as much as I like, but I could live with getting the best out of our pickers.

Nothing wrong with Butler, he would be my choice of the two.

 

[Jersey Girl]

Great. Now what will we fight about?

 

[Catfish]

I am not so sure that by LaBeau staying as DC, Butler is automatically free to pursue a DC position elsewhere. His title is linebackers coach and DC in waiting. He may not have be able to walk from his contract, or have the teams persmission to do so.

We can go back to the many Love/Hate Whisenhunt threads?

 

[HookemCards]

I wonder if that means if he still wants to coach, but the Steelers don't resign him if he'll just retire. I'm sure that won't be the case as long as he commits to another 4+ years, but would the Steelers resign him, and risk losing Butler if he would only sign for 2 years.

Are there even any other teams still looking for a DC? If not then I don't see any reason to not wait.

Yes but only one team, Oakland, runs a 3-4 defense so no real rush

That is kind of scarey, Raiduz have a lot to offer, but they have to go against a tougher division.

But who wants to go work for Al Davis unless they have no other choice.

 

[Cbus cardsfan]

Bowles. Not Bowels.

Greg McElroy not Craig .

 

[BigRedRage]

Problem is, if Dick stays they may lose Butler, they could choose to keep Butler instead of dick, if dick retires in a year and butler is gone they are far worse off than if they keep butler now and let dick go. IMO

OAK and TEN are the only ones that come to mind

I know there are others

The Eagles are also looking for a DC.

 

[Crazy Canuck]

Who knows. The target may in fact be Ray Horton, Pitts DB Coach, or Winston Moss on the Green Bay staff.

Hate to say I told ya so but......

 

[BigRedRage]

Hate to say I told ya so but......

I hate the phrase

Its always said with a giddyness of I told you so, putting the I hate to say in the front is a contradiction and a lie

but yeah, lets not count chickens, they need to hatch first.

Really... then why do it?
