I'm being very much tongue in cheek LabyaMynora posted:Engineering is about applying math. Engineers are stereotyped as being dumber than scientists. They apply the things that scientists discover. Stereotypically, not literally. Holy poo poo. Now that I think about it, I'm totally crossing scientists and engineers in my head when it comes to critical thinking. It should be obvious, as it's called the scientific method for a reason.

Darth Brooks posted:The defense being putrid makes more sense that what's going on with the offense. The defense has the most hope of being better next season assuming everyone comes back and the rookies turn out decent after having a year under their belt. It's the listlessness on offense that confuses me. The O-line is getting no push at all. I wish there was a way to get Mike Tice out of retirement. Stefanski was a big deal. The only times that offense has really looked competent during the Zimmer regime was under him.

ghosthorse posted:Zimmer or at least the defensive coordinators are going to have their seats warm up a hell of a lot if the vikes go 0-4 but absolutely it's the offense's fault not theirs. Kubiak and especially Dennison as the oline coach are probably the first to get fired if this season keeps trending south. Nah, he's safe. They just extended him and now they are in a mini rebuild. My worry is they somehow lose out and get Lawrence.

For McCarthy to be fired, two things would need to happen. 1) Jerry Jones would have to pay McCarthy $30 million for one year of service. 2) Jerry Jones would have to admit he was wrong

tinstaach posted:Stafford's had a pretty pedestrian 2020 so far, which could be due to a number of things: COVID, breaking his back last year, missing his best receiver for most of this year, being coached by a dead man walking/egomaniac, or just being 32 years old. Technically, Trent Green's got a ring.

Parallelwoody posted:Based on the past results of the Lions on-boarding process we can at least conclude the background check will go by fairly quickly and without issue, no matter who is chosen. This is the most hilarious ineptitude of the whole thing. The beat writer who broke the story didn't even do an intensive investigation. He just put dudes name in a database and it came up rape. But the billion dollar franchise that is supposed to be doing an extensive background search couldn't be bothered.

It's always a bad sign when your better players are traded away for legitimate grips. I also suspect that Burrow being on board is more the product of being a rookie. Dude's a competitor and if he doesn't see this team improving, he's going to become a lot more vocal. Of course, good management would recognize that they have a window of three years to win a Super Bowl and not waste a year with a bad coach. I suspect Taylor will have a contract extension announced any day now.

SKULL.GIF posted:I can't imagine quality candidates are falling over themselves for that Texans GM job. No draft picks until the third round this spring and a messed up front office structure. One year without draft picks is a small price to pay to have Deshaun Watson. Franchise QB solves a lot of problems.

YOLOsubmarine posted:Recruiting well is the single most important factor to sustained success in college and it’s a skill that is completely useless in an NFL coach. I think you're understating a lot of the traits that make up a good coach at both levels. There is 100% a recruiting aspect for NFL coaches. Free agency is a thing and coaches and GMs work hand in hand on that stuff, just like Athletic Directors do at the collegiate level. And how you run the day to day operations are critical to the success of all football teams.

Some of them seem like bullshit, but the poo poo that went on at Colorado when he was there is more than enough justification for him never getting a head coaching job. Frankly, I don't understand why people seem surprised he isnt getting hired.

Grittybeard posted:This part isn't quite Patricia bad since he was just the slimy coach involved in recruiting not particularly interested in looking too closely if I remember right but yeah. It's real bad. The difference between Patricia is that his poo poo came out after he was hired, which showed its own problems on the Lions hiring process, but they could at least claim ignorance. Imagine the first time a player beats up his girlfriend after hiring Bieniemy and the questions you'd field. As a GM who will only get one chance to hire a coach, why would you take that chance?
