Dan Henning VS John Bonamego
Dan Henning, while okay most of the time, has a penchant for calling the craziest (and not in a good way) plays in some of the worst situations. He appears to call good, well-balanced drives that go steadily down the field for a score when we need points quickly. And, of course, when we have a lead and need well-balanced drives that go steadily down the field and run down the clock, he takes this to mean literally running down the clock, and forgets how to call a pass play.
John Bonamego, on the other hand, coordinates the special teams which, while not viewed as being as important as the offense, has consistently sucked *** for the past few years. Nobody can tackle OR block on returns, and lately we've even decided to stop blocking on punts and field goals. Even the two highlight special teams plays we can look back on from last year, winning the second game against the Jets for us, were in no way due to our sub-par blocking, but rather the ability of Ted Ginn Jr to call a malevolent Jet-hating spirit from beyond the abyss and have it possess himself.
Personally... if I could choose one of the two to be fired... I'd choose Bonamego. I'm still in the "But he COULD be good if he'd pull his head out of his *** and pay attention to the situation!" phase with Henning I often wonder if we wouldn't be just as good on special teams without a coordinator.
