Kevin Stefanski will coach the quarterbacks.
Kennedy Polamalu will coach the running backs.
Clancy Barone will replace Shurmur as TE coach.
Keep in mind that Clancy Barone was the offensive line coach for the Bronco's. Are they putting pressure on Sparano saying you better perform because we got your replacement in the waiting.

It sounds like Barone was liked in Denver.

You are in the same division as GB, you should realize a high powered WCO is not unheard of, or solely dink and dunk.

In fact, GB is far closer to a traditional San Fran style wco then Atlanta, and yet I would say they go vertical nearly as much, more during other seasons.
Dude, you lost. Don't take it out on me.

I've been telling people ... nobody's beating Atlanta. That includes New England.

Packers had no chance. Totally outclassed.

It really does look like it could be their year.

The Patriots have a way of taking away a team's strength and making them win another way so it will be interesting to see if they can slow down Atlanta's attack. I'm not a betting man but even if I were, I wouldn't put a dime on this game.

Here's the sad thing.

I like Atlanta this year. Really do. Their offense is dream-worthy, and their defense is really coming on. They made life miserable for Rodgers & Company yesterday (OK, let's tell it like it is ... EMBARRASSED Rodgers & Company) which certainly doesn't hurt their standing in my book.

But if they win, it will yet again add to the list of teams that have won the Super Bowl, while we still haven't.

And now I need booze.

... and it's barely 9 AM! :)

I know what you mean, a friend asked me this morning, earnestly, "When was the last time the Falcons were in the Super Bowl?"

When I reminded her she felt a little guilty.

Did you smack her, Jim? :-P
I want NE to win because of the reason Kapp mentioned above. Soon the Vikings will be the only team to not have won a SB.

I'm all for Atlanta. I'm not going to root for New England just because of some "list". I'm all about new teams being there and winning. I really wanted to see a KC vs Atlanta SB. I hate everything about New England

He has to be the coachiest coach coaching there. He has to coach so hard coaches coaching other coachables say "wow, coach is coaching like no coach has coached before."

coach looks wrong if you type it a dozen times in a paragraph.

'Kind of refreshing': Mike Zimmer elaborates on Vikings' coaching changes on offense
The Vikings offense will undergo another makeover during Shurmur’s first offseason at the helm along with another influx of ideas Zimmer sought through experienced assistants in Barone, a former offensive line coach, and Polamalu.

Zimmer called the changes “kind of refreshing.”

“We’ve been doing a lot of things with the offense, sitting and going through the cutups in the mornings and I sit and go through the cutups with the defense in the afternoons,” Zimmer said. “And so we’re just starting at the beginning process, but you know it’s kind of refreshing to be with almost a new system now.”

The fuse is burning now. If this doesn't work, and quick, Zimmer and Spielman will be out on their ####.

"The fuse is burning now" is a great way to put it.
