Sounds like we will see some coaching hires over the weekend.
McClain wasn't cut because of cap reasons.
DMAC is in the mix for 2013.
Manti Te'o's name comes up as a first round talent.

Like I've said all along. McKenzie was put in a garbage situation and he has to fight his way out of this mess. Everyone expects success from year 1 and they are so used to firing people that they think he should be next. I'm so excited to not be in that mind frame anymore. I've waited a long time to see success and if he does the right way im ok waiting a little longer.
Have patience people McKenzie won't mortgage our future on one or two players like we are used to. He will make moves that may upset some of us but he will help build this team back from the dead.
Pretty excited for our future, maybe not the short term but the long term looks good.

Happy about the McFadden news. And happy that Reggie realizes the mistake he mad by trying to go to a zone blocking. And trying to bring a west coast offense was a horrible idea. Nothing about our offense screams WCO.

Doesn't sound like Allen is on a short leash. I'm confident Reggie and DA will find the right play caller. Big name or not.
P.S. Please cut Kelly.

We still have a long way to go with the cap situation, but so far, it seems like everything is headed in the right direction. I think it's fair to start evaluating Reggie from this year on, since last year was brutal due to the circumstances he was dealt with.
I think it's very important for RM to have a good draft this year & I'm eager to see how it turns out. He has more picks to deal with & has had more time to scout players with his new team of scouts.

im not too confident after hearing this plus other stuff
| Quote: | | “It’s obvious Darren is much better on certain types of plays. That goes without saying. That’s how you’ve got to do it.’’ |
duhh. it took him a whole season to figure that out. how long will it take for him to figure out that dmac cant last a whole season
| Quote: | | Right guard Mike Brisiel had ankle surgery following the season. McKenzie said he played with the injury all season and that it hampered his performance. |
was he injured when we got him. if they knew it hurt his and the team's performance why did they keep playing him. smh.
| Quote: | | “We’re not trying to hurry up to win one or two games and mortgage the possibility of winning 10 more,” McKenzie said. “We’re just going to build it the right way and make good, sound decisions.” |
dont understand so are we rebuilding or not and we only won 4 games. maybe im reading it wrong but i have no idea what this quote means
| Quote: | | McKenzie said he considered Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te’o a first-round talent |
oh no really so he likes teo. smh. somebody better tape a cheetah to teo's back so he can survive in the nfl
| Quote: | | “I was proud the way he identified the issues and attacked them. He didn’t just continue to run this offense and make it work, keep this guy, keep this guy- he evaluated it, said okay, he stood up, and said okay, we’re going to make a change.” |
huh? when did all this change happen? week 15? wth is he talking about?

I was thinking something similar. If Reggie drafts Te'o with anything higher than our third rounder, I am going to quit watching football.

DMC for 8 games next year? Yeah, unless we get another legit back we're destined to get shafted.
I hope there are improvements, not necessarily big ones, but right ones in coaching and player decisions.
Hoping for the best...
