I know the press conference was discussed (a lot!) yesterday. I just now was able to go back and watch the whole thing. Two things caught my attention:

1) 22:00 - When asked about who was going to be the quarterback, there is laughter, smiles, a Pioli joke, and nearly 15 seconds before RAC starts to answer the question. I like Cassel more than most here, but it sure didn't seem to me that they think "Cassel is the starter" is a foregone conclusion--as some of the doomsday comments might have led someone to believe. In fact, if they had publically seemed any less certain about Cassel I think that would have been a bad thing.

2) 10:45 - When asked about the possibility of being defensive coordinator himself, towards the end of his answer, he said they'll determine if it's best for him to do it or name someone else. Saying "name" only confirms my suspicion that they're almost definitely going to make someone already here the DC. My guess is Gary Gibbs.
