Todd Husak for OC! Or at least some sort of Offense Special Advisor so he can lend his perspective to our team instead of wasting it on the general public.

Husak might not want to coach, it's a much more demanding gig than the media.

Spilled my coffee when I read your last line. Maybe for Husak's job in the booth. Maybe for the Wilners and the Gilmores. But they ain't among the thousands of worker bees in what you call The Media. Have you been shot at while working? Have you lugged gear in the jungle, up mountains and in enemy controlled territory to get a story? Have you been clubbed by police, donned a gas mask and worked in no man's land during a political riot? Have you been harassed by a cult, kidnapped or stowed away in a van in the Manila slums with a pistol pointed at you? Have you been targeted by a motorcycle club or been in a barfight in Dumbass Montana just because you're a journalist? Journalists are getting killed every day on our planet, especially just over our southern border.

And a coach's life is tough because he has to win? And they all make money and there is always another job or a golden parachute to move on to.

Yeah Fox News sucks and MSNBC sucks and the NYT is beginning to suck. Corporate "Media." The reporters, the still girls and guys and the news crews are the heart and soul and they are busting their ass and not making a lot of cash doing it. And most do it without an agenda. God bless them.
