The Giant Fire Gus & Dave Thread (MERGED)


Caldwell is not the problem. We just need a good coach to polish these young players correctly

The talent is there. Caldwell's had some whiffs, but no more so than any other GM. Coaching is the problem. It's the responsibility of coaches to develop that talent and put it in position to succeed. How well has Bradley developed and utilized that talent? McCray is the fourth corner, that's how well.

Uh probably because most people have use of the brain and critical thinking capabilities and are able to see the team has some really promising talent that is getting hamstrung by what seems to be abysmal game planning.

Because you can't really say that the Talent isn't there.  The talent is there.  


I was wrong about Trent Baalke.

This. SO many times on ST and defense where guys are just flat out not in position. THAT is on coaching alone. We have talent on this team. It is pretty clear at this point Gus was a product of that insanely talented Seattle D.

It may not be fair to say Gus was a product of the talent on Seattle's D. Gus may be an excellent DC. So was Buddy Ryan. So was Dick LaBeau. As great of a DC LeBeau was, he sucked as a head coach. I just think Gus isn't a good head coach. That is clear.

Unfortunately I highly doubt that Dave fires himself.
Respect the game.  Play with a sense of urgency. 


1.)  Take care of the ball.  Win the turnover battle.

2.)  It's all about 3rd down.  Win on 3rd down to win the game.

3.) Playmakers make plays.  The only reason that you put your uniform on is to make plays. In order to EARN your paycheck, you must make plays.  

Learn from the great collapse of 2023.

Khan should meet with DC.  If DC doesn't recommend to Khan that GB be fired then Khan should fire both of them himself for a lack of leadership and courage to make the right call.

Blame Gene Smith. Honestly whoever tells Anger to punt it straight downfield needs firing, you just gave up a huge punt return, don't kick it straight back to the guy.

 

Caldwell is doing fine. He's missed on some guys but he's filling positions with talent.

I think the talent had a LOT to do with it.  Plus, look at Seattle, they continued to get better after GB left.

Dave's acquisition of Bradley seems to be his downfall.

Nearly every player? So Telvin, Cyprien, Yeldon, Linder, Cann, Thomas, AR, Hurns, Miller, Colvin...ect. I could keep going. So you are saying to get rid of "nearly" all of them?

 

Stop drinking. Lay down. Sober up. Then come back.

Name me another GM that could get a 6th round pick for Gabbert and another 6th rounder for Scobee...

 

 

You can't.  You are dum to even think it's time to let Caldwell walk.  I can see 15 teams jump at him if we fire him..
