Impossibly Perfect Sphere posted:Belichick should retire if the Pats don't make a wildcard. His drafting and free agency work has been a disaster the last half decade. He's about to reach the tipping point where his coaching acumen no longer makes up for his poor GM work. Bill isn’t gonna stop coaching until he breaks Shula’s record or drops dead.

fsif posted:Manning was 35 and Montana was 37. Rodgers is about to be 40 and was coming off of his worst season. FWIW, Manning and Montana were more injury concerns than anything. Peyton had the neck issues that cost him 2011 and doubts about how he’d play/hold up when he did come back, Montana had various injuries that cost him all of 1991 and then all but the last half of the last game of 1992 (Plus his injury history back to the mid-80s). Brady and Favre to the Jets didn’t have significant injury history, and even then Favre got hurt like mid-season with the Jets but just wouldn’t break his streak, and then came back playing amazing with the Vikings.

Kull the Conqueror posted:Lol it is September. Denver's a trainwreck but we already knew that and it's year 1. Also the offense is showing signs of life despite a weathered line and blatantly mediocre receiving corps, which is why Payton was hired in the first place. Giving up the most points in a game since the days of the Gemini program will put a bit of heat on anyone.

There was also the question of how much credit Bieniemy was due since he was working with Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes, although both were very vocal in supporting him and saying he should have gotten a chance to be a head coach. If Washington's offense and/or Sam Howell make consistent noise over the course of the season, that'll probably be a big boost for him for potential openings next season. Hell, depending on how the season plays out, he could potentially replace Rivera.

a neat cape posted:Even if it's a race thing, I still wonder why guys like Vance Joseph, Demeco Ryan's, Robert Saleh, and Anthony Lynn got jobs before Bienemy There has been some talk in the past about the racial issue particularly with the offensive side of the ball. Joseph, Ryans, and Saleh were all defensive coordinators before being head coaches. There aren’t a lot of minority offensive coordinators, and the only one I can think of from recent memory who got head coaching chances was Hue Jackson.

Dexo posted:Especially considering that loving Nagy of all people got one. I posted this back in the offseason thread and I’ll repost it here since it’s relevant. TLDR: He has a better resume than Nagy or Pederson when they got hired: fartknocker posted:It looks even worse when you look at Doug Pederson and Matt Nagy's resumes when they got hired as head coaches compared to Bieniemy's. Pederson had been the Chiefs OC for Andy Reid's first 3 seasons, where the team was good but not great and mainly had Alex Smith checking down all the time. Nagy was the OC for just a single season, 2017, where Alex Smith had a better year throwing to Tyreek Hill and Mahomes was sitting on the bench. They were OC for a combined 4 seasons, while Bieniemy was the OC for 5 seasons and still can't get a head coaching job and limited interviews, and that's even after Reid and Mahomes and other players have publicly endorsed him basically anytime the subject comes up (Hell, I remember Adrian Peterson speaking highly of him as a coach way back when he was the RB coach in Minnesota, which was the first time he got a little bit of attention in the coaching ranks). And all of that is before you get to guys from other teams who got head coaching jobs with far, far lesser resumes. The “he’s an rear end in a top hat!” argument barely holds when, as previously mentioned, you look at basically every Belichick assistant who’ve gotten chances, among various others.

The Giants o-line has been bad for almost a decade (They started falling off after the second Super Bowl when guys started getting hurt) and the current group may not even be the worst iteration of it. The 2015-2016 teams were still trying to force Erick Flowers to be a standalone left tackle that he very clearly wasn’t, and frequently included guys like Marshall Newhouse and Bobby Hart.

Febreeze posted:Daboll isn't going anywhere till next year at minimum after this year they are probably gonna draft a QB, sit him behind Jones for a season, and then see what happens I agree that Daboll is probably safe this year, barring some catastrophic meltdown that would require both on and off the field insanity. For non-Giants fans, it's worth pointing out the last three coaches were all fired after 2 seasons or less (Judge and Shurmur got two seasons, McAdoo was fired during his second season), and I don't think ownership wants to extend that particular streak. Benne posted:They're not firing the guy who literally just delivered their first playoff win in like a decade. This isn't a serious conversation. Also, everyone knew last year was a lot of smoke and mirrors early on, and they struggled down the stretch. It also doesn't help that this season has been hosed up since about 7 minutes into the first game, when Andrew Thomas got hurt, and it's snowballed from there in various ways, particularly on offense.

He’s been a bad GM for the last decade~ and it’s coming back to destroy them now, but as a head coach, he was outstanding for a long time, although I’m not sure I’d call him still brilliant in 2023.

Ornery and Hornery posted:Could Rivera succeed as a coordinator or something? Players do seem to love him. Maybe? He was the Bears DC when they went to the Super Bowl in 2006, and then was the Chargers DC for a few years, including the previously mentioned 2010 team that allowed the fewest yards that year, before going to Carolina. The thing here is that he's been a head coach ever since. I'm not sure he'd want to take a step back to being a coordinator. Plus, he can use the "I worked for Snyder and he hosed stuff up, I just never had the chance to get out of the holes he dug" excuse (Valid or not), and there may still be teams interested in him if he becomes available. I wouldn't be surprised if the Bears made a run at him, since he'd hit the trifecta of being a former player (On the 1985 team to boot!) and coordinator for them.
