I'm glad for it, but I can't help but notice that his son was Walsh's successor. I didn't realize he was with that Jets now.... Ha! That is even more juicy!

I think this is the big key. as I posted above.

I think most coaches and orginizations would love to have a guy like Dante who is completely commited to being the best position coach he can and not just trying to ascend the ranks.

it allows you to trust him a lot more because he is not going anywhere.

Dante really had his guys ready to deal with the Giants pass rush during the SB.

He's not the only coach who has remained. How about Ivan Fears?

Dante forgot more about coaching the line than most coaches in the league but fire away and show your ignorance once again.

So you're saying you're pleased with how the guys he was in charge of coaching performed in SB 42?

I guess you're the type of guy that blames your teacher for failing your math test right?

Great catch!!! Perhaps a lie by Mr. Walsh? I'm sure Specter can overlook lies when they suit his agenda. He's made his own ("There IS a tape of the Walkthrough"), and ignored others all along. What's one more?

Well, that depends. If the teacher was teaching you geometry all week and the test was really on algebra then yes.

Do you mean to tell me that the two guys Walsh has outed as cheaters (Steve Scarnecchia and Dabol), were both hired by Mangini? That can't be. Mangini is anti-cheating, and turned in one of his best friends for it (SARCASM intended).

Dante is very much a Pats loyalist, and whatever he has been asked to do, has done it well whether it be special teams or O line.. he is a long time student of the game and am pretty confident he is taken care of well by Mr. Kraft..
