It still boggles my mind that Jimmy was allowed to handpick his successor.<BR/><BR/>Furthermore, when the Chargers were in the doldrums just a year later, their owner reportedly went to one Jimmy Johnson for advice. His advice? "hire the best football man you can find as GM, and let him pick your coach" (that football man turned out to be the late John Butler).<BR/><BR/>Too bad he couldn't give that advice to Wayne, who had paid him rather handsomely for 4 years, two of which the guy basically gave less than his best.Halhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09291930694234773688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2266929163782556236.post-55027810980856775822008-05-29T19:00:00.000-07:002008-05-29T19:00:00.000-07:00It just so happens my next post will be about Wann...It just so happens my next post will be about Wannstedt's Fiedler fetish! But I hadn't done much checking into Wannsedt's Chicago blunders so thanks for the info. At least the man was a consistent failure.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09800830914937489512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2266929163782556236.post-80035789665767379482008-05-29T12:55:00.000-07:002008-05-29T12:55:00.000-07:00Wannstedt had bad taste in QB's.

I can't believe he thought that Fiedler was the answer for the Dolphins. I never understood that. And, he overruled Spielman in 03 again when he wanted Boldin? Mistake. He should have listened to Spielman more. You guys could have Brees and Boldin now.JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04718204053549123868noreply@blogger.com
