I am no Laviano supporter. In fact I do not think he is very good. In fact, I would have picked Rettig as the starter after watching the Norfolk game. However, that opinin was based on one half of play and the Spring game that I saw. And my opinion was not very clear cut... neither of them distinguished themselves that much in my eyes. But I recognized that the basis for my opinion was a ridiculously small sample size of observations to formulate an opinion so trusted the coaches decisions that Laviano is better and should not be looking over his shoulder. Nothing I have seen on the field since then has changed my opinion and trust that the people being paid to do this know better. Now that I read this week that Friedgen talks weekly and sometimes more to flood and crew, and must surely be getting game tapes and practice tapes to review I am even more confident that the staff is collectively making the right call. .
