Quote:Take a step back? How?

I thought we were bad when we averaged 12 points a game. I didn't think we would step backswards to 9 yesterday.

Quote:Mularkey is available.

So you don't have faith in Khan + Caldwell choosing a replacement?

Quote:Just give him time, they say.

It'll be better by year 4 they say.

 

I don't recall seeing anyone say give him year 4.  The consensus has been that this is a make or break year for Bradley.  Nothing about that has changed after one loss.

Quote:So you don't have faith in Khan + Caldwell choosing a replacement?

Didn't they choose the guy the majority of this board is ready to run out of town?

Quote:So you don't have faith in Khan + Caldwell choosing a replacement?

It would be hard for them to find one. No proven coach would want to come here.

Quote:Yeah, and that's really going to create the kind of environment where a replacement is going to be eager to step in knowing that the owner has a hair trigger, right?

 

If Gus gets fired, it won't happen mid-season.  To the chagrin of you and many others here, he'll be given every opportunity to save his job this year. 

 

Because a prospective coach would think that Gus wasn't given a fair chance after being fired with (say) an 8-31 record?

4 coaches in 5 years.  You'll get the bottom feeders who are trying to get any kind opportunity.  Quality coaches?  Not so much.

You don't know any of that so let's maybe add an "IMO" to your statement.

Lets be honest, no coach that has a great standing ground will come,we can get an up and comer but an established guy would choose a better situation before this

Khan will have to grossly overpay for one. Not my money. Do it Khan!!

Right.  We haven't already seen this with recent coaching hires.

Money talks.

Exactly, but you should put an IMO in there somewhere or you'll get a finger wag from SuperJ.

Keep dreaming.

At this point theres no need, you can only sell yourself the kool-aid for so long before you realize you are just drinking sugar water.

Quote:Money talks.

Tell that to Randall Cobb (I know its not a coach, but still an example of someone taking less money for a better situation)

Spin. This would be Khan's third head coaching hire, and only Caldwell's second, well after giving the first a reasonable chance.


 

Tucker was never more than an interim coach. Marrone would probably fail after taking over in midseason, but maybe he would do a great job. We can't know if we don't try. We know what we have with Bradley.


And it appears that age has finally overtaken Sullivan.

We kept coughlin and JDR for something like 15 years and were the epitome of a patient organization. Look what that got us.

I'm not counting Tucker.  The owner was in place for the end of Del Rio, hired Mularkey and Bradley, and would be moving on to head coach #4.  You can dismiss that all you wish, but it will have an impact in what happens with the next hire if they move on from Bradley.

 

It's idiotic to suggest firing a coach mid-season hoping you might see something different from another guy.  Change for the sake of changing is just not a plan that leads to success.  Ask Washington.

Clearly you prefer the raving success of the Redskins model.
