I liked the Turner/Garrett combination - with their experience at the Ranch and their style, I think it could have been effective.
The whole situation of hiring the staff before the head coach seems a little odd. Even that kid at Oakland got to hire some of his coaches.
I also just read the Dallas receivers Coach Haley took another job.
The keyword with Garrett is that he WILL be good. He's only been coaching for a couple of years. I don't care if Bill Parcells said that he's got "head coach written all over him," you don't go from a first-time QB coach to offensive coordinator after two years.
Besides, the problem with Garrett isn't that he's the OC. It's that he was made the OC by someone who is not the head coach. Hell, he was appointed OC prior to Jones even interviewing head coach candidates!
Coach Rat Salad (Todd Haley) indeed took a job at Arizona a couple of weeks ago. In the span of less than a month, that team's coaching went from what we thought they were (a little reference, there), to being absolutely loaded with genuinely bright offensive minds. If they can just solidify their offensive line, they're going to be the Saints of 2007.
