Guess we starting early. When do people start asking if maybe it's Elway?
https://www.milehighreport.com/2018/12/20/18150633/broncos-vance-joseph-to-be-fired

Between Elway's inability to find a coach/draft a QB and Pat Bowlen's entire family about to tear each other apart to see who gets to run the team, that next coach is a dead man walking.

Can't believe I'm saying this, but is Cleveland the most attractive opening? Because whoever goes to GB is going to be expected to immediately get back to the Super Bowl while Rodgers still has some good years left.

i have said so many times -- imagine the turmoil had Peyton chosen Arizona or a different city?? Elway hasnt displayed any sense whatsoever on drafting good players or evaluating QB talent.

that Cleveland game sort of cemented it.

Pagano in Indianapolis:

- Handcuffed one of the best QB prospects in the last decade and told everyone their goal was to "pound the rock" with Trent Richardson

- Came from Baltimore as a defensive coach and never fielded a good defense in six years at Indianapolis

- Called one of the worst fake punts in the history of modern football (https://twitter.com/PeteBlackburn/status/947601456152174592)

so what exactly from his half-decade in Indianapolis showed he is going to fix Green Bay?

First season on a rebuilding team with a rookie QB, can't really hold it against him.

this was an 8-8 team last year and 13 win team in 2015. Arians brought a culture to the team. practiced super hard.

this is just a different team. unprepared weekly. always outplayed. always outmatched in the trenches.

Rosen is getting worse game by game. playcalling is still terrible even after firing the coordinator midseason.

this team is a flatout dumpster fire, and compared to recent years, its pretty clear theres a coaching issue here.

why are Fitz and the gang riding for him so hard? You think it's more just Fitz trying to be a good dude, but most players would be fine with him Wilkes being gone?

literally like the best human to ever live on Earth. he would never show disrespect to anybody like that publicly.

theres a lot of local reporting saying its the other way. ive watched every single game. this team played with a "fire under its ass" every single game in the Arians years. this team is just embarrassing, effort wise, this year. that has to mean somethin.

And maybe they could do better. It's just always weird when a coach gets fired after one season, on a team that nobody thought would be any good this year.

i would rather see Keim (the GM) go and give Wilkes one more year, and an off-season, with Byron and Rosen to work together. Keim made like 2 good decisions in 2014 and he acts like he's fucking Jesus now.

cut Honey B, signed BRADFORD TO A DUMPTRUCK OF GOLD, let go key o-linemen, signed terrible linemen. didn't resign Tony Jefferson, just a few minor things ive thought about in the last 30 seconds.

I think there are two things that Wilks has to be responsible for directly: 1) Hiring McCoy, who has been consistently terrible before this season, and 2) Bringing a style of defense that relies on Keuchly and Thomas Davis-level LBs and being unable/unwilling(?) to adjust to what Arizona has on the fly.

Since they aren't going to fire Keim, he deserves another year to figure out what the OC situation is going to be and see if they can fix the O-line.

I also think they are probably too high on Rosen, though hard to gauge that with the O-line being so awful this year.

I almost want it to happen so these assholes can get what they deserve.

>I almost want it to happen so these assholes can get what
>they deserve.

Please fire Mike Tomlin....




















































































So we can hire him in Cleveland. I'll take Mike Tomlin over Gregg Williams and Mike McCarthy any day of the week.

I want him in Washington.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

but then again, Tomlin has been coach for how long now? more than 10 years. the tale of the 2018 Steelers has basically been aging, and personnel troubles

and hasn’t won another SB with Ben so clearly he sucks.

I would love to have him in Atlanta in some capacity

Funny because Dirk was supposed to be THE GUY who could turn Jameis into a star, to the point that it's supposedly why they fired Lovie Smith. Honestly surprised this guy was an NFL head coach as long as he was.

He was okay to solid in Tempe for ASU but I didn't think he would have been an NFL head coach

https://twitter.com/AdamSchefter/status/1079552906012082176

I could see him actually working out as an NFL head coach, he's maybe taken Northwestern as far as anyone could expect.

Steelers brass seems reactionary and misguided

.

Either Adam Schefter pulled the tweet or I got got by a fake. Probably the latter. I didn't look because it was retweeted by major sports media personalities and had been retweeted hundreds of times.

https://twitter.com/RapSheet/status/1079740921925767168

despite whatever players were saying in the public, this dude is a TERRIBLE head coach.

like, you don't even have to know anything about him - it's written all over his face every game that he has no business being a head coach.

He's going to be on his third contract and will still be "kind of an unknown quantity."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

.

I'm pretty sure Brown will be looking a Vance or (gulp) Hue though

I thought there was legitimately nothing he could do to get fired.

I posted the same thing last year - lol

but Brown convinced him to come back. After the first Pitt game I felt like he didn't want to be there anymore. I'm willing to bet he really didn't want to coach this season.

https://thumbs.gfycat.com/VigilantCreativeArmedcrab-max-1mb.gif

love marv but this has been a long time coming.

Like why?

The end of every season is an embarrasing loss seems like.....

Bruce Allen needs to go first.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

He's extended through 2020 and Snyder (and Allen) are focused on finding a location for the new stadium in 2028.

I think Jay stays until the team secures a location for the stadium. At that point, they'll probably be even more motivated to build a winning team because they don't want to open a new stadium into a declining fan base situation.

If the front office can execute (big question), they've got the time to still build a consistently winning team before they start selling tickets to the new stadium.

They could find a real GM in the next couple years and relieve Allen of all football duties. That GM could then replace Jay either in '20 or '21. Hell, the GM could replace the replacement in 2025 and still give the new guy a couple years to build some momentum before the new stadium opens.

It’s his fault his top 2 quarterbacks got hurt? No one does more with less talent.

Team come unprepared to play and he's slow to make adjustments. And they are heavily penalized. I hate undisciplined teams and every season shows me that he's smart, but doesn't have a handle on being a consistently disciplined team.

but is there anyone out there who'll do better with this shitty team?

I think he's a great offensive coach and a mediocre head coach.

Unless there's a great candidate out there who is a masochist and for some reason wants to work for Allen/Snyder, I'd keep Tommy Boy for now.

Guess it also depends on the QB situation. If they draft a new one, is Gruden the right guy for that job?

But until Allen (and Snyder) are gone, this is all window dressing.

So I would have him stick around for that. But they gotta draft a QB that fits a West Coast style of play. That's gonna be a tough one for Bruce to do.

I guess he's not in the awful territory. Just painfully mediocre. Like Ernie Grunfeld.

Dan Snyder rosters don’t have top to bottom talent. Two receivers and a tight end shouldn’t fool you.

they easily had one of the best offensive lines in the league.

The roster wasn't the Saints, but it wasn't the Raiders either.

Kirk's uniforms were clean most games. He just couldn't pull out a W.

Sark is terrible.

dude made in game adjustments, ran trick plays, kept balance with the run game and attacked Tampa's defense all second half. if he would have done that all season we'd been at least 12-4.

Nagy is COY and it's not because of Trubisky. He is, right now, probably the worst QB in the division.

Aaron Rodgers is at home.


QB matters but it is not everything.

Fuck it, I'll be happy

>Fuck it, I'll be happy

..what has Hue done in the past 3 years to warrant this reply?


*skatin' the rings of saturn*


..and miles to go before i sleep...

please defend that absurd stance

And I don't know if he can possibly be worse.

the Browns literally had to TRADE Hyde so Hue would play their first round pick RB

one example of dozens

.

and partly me REALLY not liking the 2018 Vikings trainwreck of an offense.

They could obviously do better than Hue as OC, but he would absolutely be an improvement over the guy who lost his job because he refused to actually try and gain yards in a close, must-win game.

Head coach would be a different ballgame than hiring him as OC (though I'd settle for someone who doesn't try and play to the team's biggest weakness.)

for a second. As soon as Defiliznavidad or whatever got fired, he started running wild.

.

..the fact that this is even being discussed is the very definition of hilarisad.

Hmmmm

that dude shouldnt be an OC let alone a HC

He says he's the guy to get Rodgers (who can eat all the dicks) going right.

But the Titans only scored more than 20 6 times in 2018 and scored 17 or less 8 times.

Hmmmm.

NFL coaching is a scam industry, lol.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

but there's certainly nothing that showed dude should get a HC gig

This makes me psyched. Bitch ass Arians joining another team whose main color is red.

Can't wait for him to get mad and chameleon right into his hoodie.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

sadly, the Cardinals are enamored with him and will most likely sign him

https://twitter.com/RapSheet/status/1082728765426462720

Dude gets fired from Texas Tech for having just two winning seasons in 6 years. And his next job is an NFL head coach position?

I see people arguing that he is an amazing coach, and it was recruiting that held him back at Texas Tech. Nah. Not buying it. Tech was pulling in some decent talent.

NFL is a whole different thing than NCAA, so maybe he's more suited to it? We'll see

I don't think he even expected to get another college HC position for some time, because if he did he would not have signed so quickly with USC.

I'm always amazed at how certain people can fail up. Hell, we have one as POTUS now.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

He seems to have no idea who he wants on staff. Planning to find an OC that can help him merge his ideas into a traditional offense.

Dumpster fire inc.

And they are going back to a 3-4. Which is better in the short term, but why did they hire a 4-3 guy if short term was their thinking?

smh

https://twitter.com/AdamSchefter/status/1083046454657191936



Like I said, this year was our window, we have a 1st place schedule next year and zero defensive continuity to face it with.

if he fucks up another draft, really curious to see what the Bowlens do about it (probably nothing)

No defense with that roster will be bad.

And finishing in first place only applies to two of the 16 games next year. Depending on the division, it may not even matter.

Fangio's scheme is very particular, and we don't really have "multiple" players in this defense, everyone has the play their role

if management tries to mold this scheme for a different DC next year, we are absolutely going back in the dumpster

and let the talent keep excelling at what it's good at.

There may be a drop off, but unless they hire Jim Zorn the defense will still be very good.

This dude has been around forever....lmao. Good luck to him.

Gregggggg Williams got played

i am for sure rooting for the Bucs this year

..I'm not exactly excited about Arians, but admittedly, I've been intrigued about Leftwich and his approach to coaching.

Should be interesting to see his impact on Winston.

Let's see how this plays out, but he will want things his way, which means natural regression as the scheme changes.

.

not only did Gregggg Williams not get the HC job, he didn’t get to stay as DC.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

dude went from bragging about how many HC offers he's had, to getting the interim spot (and the team looking pretty good), to unemployed...in a matter of a couple months.

You know they will ask him.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Assuming Zac Taylor doesn't pull a Frank Reich and ditch the Bengals

interim at least

although yes, this McVay 2.0 thing is turning losing college coaches and position coaches into the hottest commodities

in so many teams faces.

49ers also hires Singletary who was their LB coach but also was the assistant HC and interim HC before being hired as their head coach.

Guarantee they take a bruisin zone runner in the draft.

im still hoping garrett is gone too but if they get a good OC then whatever.
