Kalli posted:I'm saying the odds of Saleh succeeding at this point are astronomically low. Unless a clearly superior coaching candidate wants to inherit that sort of mess, then why can Saleh? Are you selling off Sauce & co and tanking? If not, then why dump the coach that has worked well on that side of the ball?

mcmagic posted:Obviously there aren't enough black coaches or GMs but Ryans got a job pretty quickly, no? I think there is something to EB not interviewing well. I hadn't heard him speak until recently, and someone shared a cool clip (I think in the AFCE thread?) of him gushing over the skills and awareness of a linebacker on the upcoming opponent's roster. Bieniemy has a sublime voice, loved hearing him wax poetic on that player (even if it's a dirty player). And I wonder if assholes in front offices hear him speak in an interview and let a combination of institutional racism & stereotyping about his type of voice/personality not being "a leader of men on the gridiron" prejudice them into looking elsewhere. Ah, here it is: https://twitter.com/JennaCottrell/status/1704940475331891279

If Bill really wants the record, and is self-aware enough to recognize that the clock is ticking and the win rate is slowing down, then he could come out with a statement of "I'm over 70, the mind is willing but the flesh is a bit weak, I'll coach til I die but will bring on an AGM who'll take on more responsibility over time" or something. Media will run with it regardless of what we know is actually going on, and history would laud him for taking that track instead of bitterly hanging on to both gigs while the team spiraled. Obv everything above is hypothetically possible but realistically improbable. Ah well.

Promptly issuing public call-outs of the guy you replaced, now that's the idiotic arrogance that blessed us with some fall schadenfreude.

I had to tutor someone and last checked the scores when the Falcons and Bucs took the lead late in the 4th. I thought that was a bummer for Dobbs & the Vikes, and an unfortunate result for Stroud after a fantastic performance. And then I saw this thread had a bunch of new posts...

a neat cape posted:I am completely done with both my NFL team's head coach and college team's head coach. It's a weird feeling. I feel bad for you & Chargers fans like the lady who went viral a few weeks ago. Especially in a game like that where both teams were really fun! Tons of going for it on 4th & Goal, creative plays to get WRs open or pull blockers for runs, it was a game where both teams would have earned a W. Arizona and Chicago would probably be open to trading their win for the Chargers loss and a day with Boltman.

For 20 yards I thought "huh I guess he caught it during the block itself?" assuming the old footage made it blurry. Then "oh, it's still bouncing like 40 goddamn yards away" and then he catches it on the sprint with barely a crouching motion!

What's the deal with Arthur Smith? This is an honest question, besides the gifs and the quote about Bijan contributing via decoy schemes, I'm not very knowledgeable about the Falcons this year. When Benne writes a one sentence snark quip for a coach's blurb though, I know something is up.

Sounds like it buys the new GM a few free years at the outset, the ol "I didn't hire that coach / pick that QB" gambit

mcmagic posted:I feel like he's trying even if he keeps loving up? I prefer that to whatever Woody Johnson is doing. This is lunacy. Tepper isn't some "aw shucks, I tried my best, golly gee, I'll do better next time" guy. He's a billionaire rear end in a top hat who's going to keep loving up in order to protect his ego & his investment in Bryce. Woody is a billionaire rear end in a top hat who signs cheques and gives his hires a few years to prove their worth. Why would you prefer the loudmouth idiot over the quiet fool? If the grass over there looks more vibrant it's cause they painted it in Scheele's green.

From the Athletic article on the Panthers coaching:quote:Reich, Fitterer and the offensive coaches decided the priority before Young’s first season was preparing him to call plays in the huddle for the first time and giving him time to absorb a playbook that blended Reich’s system with wide zone concepts Brown bought from the Los Angeles Rams. Any tweaks or changes the Panthers wanted to make to Young’s mechanics would wait until the offseason. quote:League sources said Tepper struggled with the decision to fire Reich. But the combination of Young’s difficulty understanding Reich’s offense, specifically the reads, timing and ball placement, as well as Young’s lack of protection, convinced the owner the organization wasn’t helping its quarterback, but ruining him. Put aside your personal assessment of Bryce as a QB, both pre-draft and now, for just a moment. Replace his name in those paragraphs with "1st-round rookie QB". How the gently caress could anyone down at Panthers HQ believe this approach would be successful while naming the rookie the starting QB? Letting flawed mechanics fester for a whole season? Knowingly putting a guy who's new to calling plays and new to the offensive scheme behind an OL that was specifically assembled for an entirely different blocking scheme? And then refusing to switch to Dalton once it became apparent that starting the rookie was only reinforcing bad habits re: footwork and providing very little in terms of 'useful experience running a well-installed offense'?  (aww, is the 'you dumbass' smilie gone?)

And had some success, at the coach and coordinator level. Rather than just joining the board of FedEx at 25 and doing nothing of consequence for the rest of his life. Hopefully when the revolution comes, Arthur will be in charge of commanding the bourgeoisie.

I have to imagine that if he likes Pierce then that's going to factor in. Mark may be a very pale imitation of his father, but I'd rank him among the owners who seem more likely to learn from past mistakes (Bisaccia vs Josh) than owners like Tepper and Haslem. Well, maybe not learn anything concrete, but simply not repeating the gently caress-up would be a win.

Harbaugh's putting the screws to Spanos (and anyone else vying for his services) in early negotiations imo. "Aw poo poo, it's Mark Davis, he's totally ready to offer Jim $120M/8yr & additional authority over personnel."

Simplex posted:So you've got Andy Reid in KC, Payton in Denver, Chargers supposedly all in on a Belichick or Harbaugh level hire. There's no way you can stay pat with your okayish interim if you're Vegas You don't dismiss the viable candidacy of a solid interim coach for such a nothing reason. If Harbaugh interviews and seems committed (unlike the Minnesota interview a year or two ago) then sure, he's a proven success several times over. But if he isn't keen on the Raiders then there is no legitimate headline-making hire, so... gauge Pierce on his merits and interview chops and plan for the future, rather than believing you need to win the off-season coaching hire showdown?
