The most interesting part of the first article was the mention of Crag James as O coordinator? Not sure if I would support that...

No, he doesn't. That's a reader's comment. And I think the reader is just trying to be funny - like please take James, so I don't have to listen to him on TV anymore.

No, the writer makes the suggestion in the last line of his article. Click the link in red, you will see.

"(Speaking of offensive tendencies ... just remember, Coach Davie: a now-former colleague of yours knows the West Texas area well and would make one heck of a running backs coach or smashmouth offensive coordinator (http://search.espn.go.com/craig-james/), we promise. Nobody will complain if you hire him away from television, either. Not ... one ... person.)"

My bad. Didn't see that. I still think it's mentioned tongue-in-cheek even by the writer.

As much as he gets bashed (and as much as I detest him personally), Davie was an excellent defensive recruiter and defensive coach whose coattails disguised Willingham’s incompetence.
