According to Ralph Vacchiano of the New York Daily News, the Sentinels have found a new head coach. 60-year-old Chris Palmer, now former quarterback coach of the New York Giants, will be the new head man. Palmer had been a coach for 20 years in the NFL, with the Oilers (now Titans), Patriots, Jaguars, Browns, Texans, Cowboys and Giants under several positions. He has worked as the wide recievers coach, the quarterbacks coach for some, the Offensive Coordinator for others, and the Head Coach of the Cleveland Browns for two seasons. Although his two seasons in Cleveland were failures (5-27 combined), he still proves to have head coaching experience.
Palmer has worked with quarterbacks such as Doug Flute (USFL), Drew Bledsoe and Eli Manning. He has also coached under influences like Bill Parcells, Tom Capers and Tom Coughlin. He has also been to 3 Super Bowls with three different teams.
Expect the Sentinels to start the 2010 season with a new quarterback, more than likely an undrafted one fresh out of college. My hope is that Palmer can actually work with what he is given and maybe give us our first win. This also most likely marks the end of the reign of Ted Cottrell, unless he is named a to a lower offensive coaching part.
Vacchiano is also reporting that the Sentinels will be moving from New York to Hartford, Connecticut perminantly. I really hope this isn't the case, mainly because the driving distance for me to attend home games in Connecticut would be further than for me to go to Giants Stadium or Citi Field.
