lets hope Mike does not hire another crony. I not sure Ward is the ansewer as Wr coach but they need a coach who the young recievers can learn from.

If that's the case, then every head coach in the NFL hires "cronies", if the only qualification is that they previously worked together...
Rob Chudzinski hired Norv Turner = crony
John Harbaugh hired Juan Castillo = crony
Jim Harbaugh hired Greg Roman and Vic Fangio = cronies
The list goes on and on...
Swanny and Stallworth might be too old, but wonder if Lipps or Thigpen would be interested in coaching?
If you were going to look for a former player to be a coach, I would try to find somebody who got the job done without great physical tools, and instead somebody who outperformed their measurables. An offensive equivalent of Deshea Townsend.
The nostalgia of the old stars is great, and they certainly have some gravitas, but it is rare that you have a really good play become a really good coach. I think Carnell Lake is more the exception than the rule.
"My team, may they always be right, but right or wrong...MY TEAM!"
