Actually this is a good thing IMO. We teach our players to hold also, just keep pads parallel and it won't get called....very often.

I could get on board with this hire.

Sounds like a solid guy. HC experience, coordinator experience, offensive line experience. Perusing his history, looks like he coached Matt Birk at Harvard and Ross Verba at Iowa. Can't find too many great successes though. Still kinda wonder what Russ Grim is doing.

Can you imagine the green and yellow heads exploding if OUR OL was able to get away with what their OL has been doing all these years? I can hear the shrieking now, "The refs stole that game from us!"

You guys just need to get a grip and just hold on before passing judgement. Philbin is held in high esteem. Plus we all know that Zim holds on to hope of having former coaches who have held the position of HC. Regardless, I'll hold my head up high as a Viking fan!

Hold.
The world of the day boys and girls is ...

HOLLLLLLLLLLLD

So, you're holding out for something better...

In all honesty that hasn't been holding for a while. But I see the players are often not squared with the player and in that case it is holding.

It's not in the way that he looks or the things that he says that he'll do...I just like that he was such an inspiration to the 80s Britpop band, Thompson Twins

Don't like being caught in a holding pattern waiting for him to sign on the dotted line.

How long will we have to wait? I think I can hold on for one more day...

someone should flag this thread. The offensive line of discussion offends me.
