sean10mm posted:The key to understanding the Titans ownership group is that they are catastrophically lazy and completely disorganized. There are stupider owners and more evil owners, but no owners want to do less work running their team than Amy Adams Strunk et. al. It's bad enough that the league is actually kind of pissed about it, apparently. The Titans ownership may not give a poo poo about who's head coach, but their new GM probably will if (let's be honest, when) Mike Mularkey demonstrates how awful he is. Also, good news! Amy bought a house in Nashville finally! http://www.tennessean.com/story/money/homes/2016/06/01/check-out-titans-owners-125m-green-hills-home/85267568/

If they give their new GM unlimited power they will probably be fine, he actually looks like he could be the rare ex-Patriot who isn't incompetent human garbage.

FizFashizzle posted:Dan Quinn is trash and the Falcons are staring down a rebuild. If Ryan continues to fall apart this year, they should think hard about pulling the plug. They should fire their GM first and look into bringing in some new scouts. They may be one of the worst teams when it comes to drafting and evaluating players and that will handicap any new coach they bring in. sean10mm posted:Do we have any evidence that Jerry Jones is finally getting sick of Garrett's run of infinite mediocrity and wants a real coach? Because it sure seems like he has a blank check to He was apart of the early 90's Super Bowl teams.. he wont be going anywhere.

Quinn hand picked Vic Beasley and he's one of the least effective players I've ever seen.

It doesnt help that they're trying to run that hybrid 4-3/3-4 that was hot in Seattle a while back. I thought Beasley was supposed to be the LEO pass rusher and now he's been moved to OTTO and wont be on the field as much as the LEO. I also noticed they've moved a few linebackers to defensive end as well. The Falcons are hosed.

Do the Seahawks even run a LEO anymore? I don't think that's been a thing since they got rid of Chris Clemons. I was always under the impression it was just a stopgap gimmick scheme to paper over roster holes, and they've mostly been doing traditional pass rush concepts after signing Avril and Bennett.

Nope they dont run it anymore. I think that was something they ran due to lack of talent on the defensive line. The Jaguars and Falcons have been trying to replicate it and have failed at doing so.

Joe Lombardi brought the Saints playbook to the Lions and called it a day, so much so that Drew Brees could recognize every play. I think it's a very bad sign when a coach just tries to do what worked for his old boss.

I don't know, when he was fired by the Jets after three straight 0.500 or below season, I feel like he was treated like the top coaching prospect available. Maybe they've cooled on him a bit, but it's hard to argue he doesn't deserve it.

troofs posted:Even if the whole O-line gets injured again? A lot of national media types are chalking up the chargers 2015 to injuries. You think there's no way he gets a pass? Injuries played a big role as to why last year sucked so badly for the Chargers. That being said, there were a LOT of games where the team either looked listless to start games, or just straight up quit except for a couple of players. Both of those home games against KC and Denver were the most gutless performances i've ever seen from a Charger team. And i've seen a lot of 'em over the years.

I want Rex to be fired if only because the idea of him and his brother going to a college team and having to recruit is hilarious to me. Texas A&M Head Coach Rex Ryan make it happen.

Toaster Beef posted:... are you seriously boiling it down that way? Because yeah, Chip Kelly had a winning record, but he also a) stripped the team of talent; b) lost and was hated by the locker room; c) was also hated by Lurie; and d) got ten of those wins in his first season, with almost everything after that being an on-the-field and off-the-field clusterfuck. Doesn't it feel dirty buying into the Eagles organization's bullshit like this? This is the same group that leaked stuff about Desean Jackson having gang ties before cutting him. At the end of the day the Eagles organization decided to give Chip Kelly full personnel power, no one forced them to. I mean how loving ridiculous is it that the Eagles ended up hiring a cut rate version (lol oc who never called plays) of a coach they fired just 3 years before Adun fucked around with this message at 00:59 on Sep 7, 2016 |

Before you get too excited about that, it was supposedly Pederson calling that baffling last drive where they just let the clock run constantly in the Patriots playoff game.

I'm more than happy to admit the organization has done lovely things and made horrible decisions over the past few years. My point is just that Chip Kelly getting let go wasn't as simple as "he won 27 games and Lurie wanted more." I'm not wild about Pederson (I don't know how anyone really could be), but if you can't honestly see why "guy who has worked with and under the most successful coach in your organization's history" holds at least some appeal, I dunno what to tell you. It's not like Reid had any playcalling experience before getting to Philly.

It's more that it's pretty funny the Eagles hired a guy whose best case scenario is the coach they fired three years ago instead of you know ... just not firing Andy Reid. And just points to how short-sighted that organization seems to be.

He had too much personnel control and he eventually realized he just wants to coach and not mess with that stuff (although I'm sure if he really wants a guy he can convince Dorsey to go get him). I do think it was probably the right time for him to leave. I don't know that I think Pederson was the best hire though.

In Pederson, the Eagles are looking for a mid-2000s version of Andy, which is to say Andy before he was extremely burnt out and over Philly. Is that what they got? I dunno. I doubt it. But we'll see.
