I think the only charitable explanation for the Titans is ownership is big mad and petty that Vrabel won the power struggle over the previous GM and then posted a 6-11 season. Now they look bad for firing a GM mid season and got dunked on by other owners in the group text.

Dutchy posted:When they were 10-1 I feel like a lot of people (self included) thought they weren't really playing the level you'd associate with 10-1, but were also capable of playing better, so it was kinda like "The Eagles are 10-1 and aren't even showing how good they are yet." And instead they got thrashed by SF and DAL and spent most of the last month failing to crack 20 on offense and ended with the 30th ranked scoring defense. Yep the entire season was agonizing frustration to watch because you're thinking this team was so close to another super bowl win, but every week was a strugglefest and you're thinking well they're getting the wins, once they finally figure it out they'll be amazing. But instead of getting it all together, the jets happened. Then we got to the backend of the schedule with actual teams and the team completely collapsed. Getting worse every week, making patricia DC, getting WORSE. Sirianni is a nobody, he brings nothing of value in terms of x and o's. He was hired as a no brain yes man as a response to the power struggle pederson firing. It's all the coordinators and this year he picked the worst loving coordinators, with a loving midseason panic move of making matt fuckhead patricia DC. Absolutely no reason to keep him unless the locker room absolutely loves him for some reason which I'm gonna go out on a limb that this is not the case considering the team gave up weeks ago. He needs to be thrown the gently caress out and we give one of the many talented coordinators out there a shot instead of having a guy that runs a high school offense. It's a barry switzer with the cowboys scenario Asproigerosis fucked around with this message at 00:41 on Jan 10, 2024 |

It’s funny seeing all the stuff about Sirianni being a product of his coordinators when I’m pretty sure Colts fans were also saying that Reich was a product of HIS coordinators based on the Colts offense falling apart after Sirianni left.

Reich called plays though. I do admit that my manic hysteria hinges a lot on who was making decisions with respect to patricia. If it was sirianni, loving fire him immediately, dump him in camden. If it was howie or lurie, I will be sullen.

Oh I meant that Steichen was the secret sauce behind Sirianni. I was just joking that it's been a nesting doll of "starts hot then fizzles out" with that specific Philly to Indy back to Philly chain they got going on.

Reid leaving Philly is, like, the platonic ideal of an amicable breakup where nobody's mad and nobody's the bad guy, it was just time, and everyone is better off for it. Eagles were clearly never winning the Super Bowl with him as HC, his time was up, so he goes off and the Eagles get a new guy and wouldn't you know it, a few years later both Philly and Reid have won Super Bowls, hooray, the end.

Yeah, that worked out as well as it could have. Now and then someone talks about the decision to move on from Reid as though it were a colossal error, but it's always coming from a position of ignorance because Reid was so, so clearly checked out and done with Philly. Every single press conference was just him saying "we've gotta do a better job" over and over again, the team was listless, it was just sullen vibes all around. He wasn't coaching poorly by any stretch of the imagination, but his heart clearly wasn't in it.

It's less stupid than keeping Eberflus and Getsy at least Also that guy is talking about how the Bears are going to draft a QB in the top 10 while still keeping Fields, so I am leaning towards not trusting his sourcing right now. (Even though I think keeping Eberflus and canning Getsy is and always has been the most likely outcome)

the only reason i want the bears to keep eberflus around is because instead of firing him they plan to hire arnold schwarzengger to throw him off the sears tower and then yell "illegal man downfeeldt!!!!!"

One of the Bears reporters was going through the press conference after they decided to keep Pace/Nagy after the 2020 season and there are some hilarious quotes from there, but this is particularly relevant: https://twitter.com/JasonLieser/status/1744922431473566160 The idea that they literally went out and held a "Look, I know everyone wants us to fire these guys, but we're just not gonna do it" presser and are on the precipice of doing the same thing three years later is incredible

Belichick has still had a very good defense despite losing all the notable starters. Like half?, at least the two rams super bowl victories two decades apart, were more on him than Brady. He may not be the current Greatest Ever but he’s still a very attractive hire
