well earned.. wonder if it is related to any specific issue ?

in the video Larry mentioned they thought he was going to move to the scouting department but now is retiring.

Have you seen him over the last few years? He has not aged gracefully. I would take a guess that health as well as not having a place with the new offensive staff, are the reasons.

I wonder if it is due to health as the timing seems a bit odd. Maybe he just realized he doesn't have much of a role in the new regime.

Edit- Seems my inclinations are the same as RR's.

The last time I attended camp was about 3 years ago and he looked extremely fragile then. The guy is in his late 60's so I think he is just ready to hang em up.

Always sorry to see the old guard go, hopefully it's just time and not a serious issue.

Always sorry to see the old guard go, hopefully it's just time and not a serious issue.My thoughts exactly. Wish him the best. Will always tie him to Gibbs.

I was just thinking about him this morning - wondering if he was still on the staff. I wish him well. Wish I could retire!

Well said by all! Wish him well, Thank him for all of his years of service and counsel to Our Beloved team !

Don Breaux was always regarded as something of an offensive savant, especially in the run game and play design. Tom Landry, mhbih, had a similar reputation as a guy who could design plays for a particular defense that just worked.

I am sorry to see a guy with that reputation go, but since he has no history/influence with the current staff and no position to coach, I could see why he would want to hang-em up.

Good luck and good health, Don. We will miss you.

he will be missed but i didnt expect him to do much under zorn anyway

[joethefan]

he will be missed but IMO and provided some great years to us




but


it may work out for zorn cause their is one less cook in the kitchen...

Not a good day when an experienced quality coach leaves the ranks but ones health always has to be considered a major factor. Don will be missed no doubt.

As one door closes at the Park and another opens. This is a great opportunity of some young upcoming coaching talent to step up and make a name for themself.

Let's hope for the best what ever direction the Skins take!
