The system is starting to show cracks already. The two top coordinators will be gone next year. One of them will be bringing the system to a new NFL club (browns). The coordinators will likely be replaced from within, which means another crop of great assistants will be moving up a notch. In 2 or 3 years, with continued success, they might also be up for top jobs in the NFL of college ranks.
Large egos don't work within the system, so a couple of the top players will leave for greener playing fields, taking with them talent and an insight into how it is done. I give them maybe 3 or 4 more years of dominance before someone comes along with an answer.

Even if Terrell Owens plays in the SB, I'm almost positive Bellidick will devise a way to stop him.....he always does. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:144308 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
