No Trivia from NYC so lets grade Linny and Gunny



Dear POD'ers,

This fanpost will not include the following:

1.) Discussions about St, Louis taking a QB #1 overall

2.) Grading 2009's draft picks

3.) Creating a 2010 mock draft

No..............there are enough of those on POD to last a lifetime and we are still >4 months away until the ACTUAL draft. What I am interested in is everyone's thoughts on our OC and DC and how they did this year. Its obvious to me that there are some very smart people on this board so I look forward to some feedback. The following assumptions are being made:

1.) We all want Schwartz back in 2010

2.) We all want Kwan fired before 2010

To start off I will give my grades on Linny and Gunny:

A. Scott Linehan - OC Detroit Lions 2009: B+ I really think he did a good job this year. I liked the commitment to the run, the newly installed screen passing game and the willingness to try different players on offense. We can all argue that some play calls were baffling (a shuffle pass to Jerome Felton on 4th and 2???) but overall I really like what he brings. I hope he comes back in 2010.

B. Gunther Cunningham - DC Detroit Lions 2009: B+ Given what Gunny had to work with I was pretty impressed. I liked the accountability aspect of his coaching and, although he wasn't able to stop the big plays which haunted us in 2008 I don't think they were scheme related, as was the case when Joe Barry was around (GAG). I hope he comes back in 2010.

PLEASE DISCUSS...................................
