Passan: Quack?

...Indianapolis and Chicago, for example, got to the Super Bowl with 16- and 15-man staffs (sans the head coach), respectively. At the opposite end of the spectrum, the 19-man staffs of Houston, Denver, Atlanta and St. Louis watched the playoffs, along with Minnesota’s 22-man colony.

Imagine that. Twenty-three men on the coaching staff, including the head coach, and the Vikings still won just six games in 2006. Talk about not getting your money’s worth.

Of the 12 teams that made the playoffs this season, the New York Giants had the largest staff of assistants with 18, followed by the 17-man staffs in Baltimore and Seattle. The New Orleans Saints’ staff of 20 included...

damn..twenty three people who get paid to coach football and none of them can figure out our ofense problems.

You'd think one of them would be able to handle the play calling duties!

Personally, I don't see it as a negative at all.
If Zygi is willing to flip the bill for 150 assistants and they can use them and they win then the media will be writing 100s of articles about how all the other owners need to hire more assistants.
