It would have been a complete change in the offense to the west coast. Plus, Childress did make the comment before even talking to Miami that he was leaning towards taking the year off.
With a work stoppage likely, there wouldn't be much time to start the over from scratch. The basic idea of the offense will remain, but will have more of a Patriot type feel with more five wide formations.
Do you like this hire (ignore the fans from Cleveland)?
