Their names must not sound like successful assistant coaches.

Was Bradley my 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th choice? yes or no? 

 

No. He was my 6th choice. 

 

After Reid, C. Kelly, B. Kelly, O' Brien, and McCoy. 

 

Yes, at that point I was pro Bradley. He seemed like he could have been the best of what was left. That said, I didn't want them hiring Bradley until they interviewed a few more candidates first, namely Roman & Armstrong. Instead, they went and hired Bradley off of the first interview they gave him. I had a problem with that, and also said ahead of time - that a key for Bradley's success would be the level of assistants he was able to fetch, particularly O Coordinator & D Coordinator. When the assistant hires were underwhelming, thats something I took issue with. 

 

But keep trying to paint a slanted view. Thats what you usually do. 

 

 

What a bunch of crap.  You were so anti-Roman it was incredible.

 

 

This

 

I remember TMD saying things like "looks like Caldwell is going to just hire his friend."  Something of that nature. 

 

 

How, exactly, have the assistant hires been underwhelming?

TMD, I think that it's best for you to just keep your mouth shut from here on out. As the old saying goes: "It's better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid, than open it and remove all doubt."- Mark Twain

Yep, typical you (and others) - more half truths....

 

What I was against/ concerned about was Roman being hired (as the result of being Caldwell's friend). Wasn't against hiring Roman after due diligence of a good number of coaches being interviewed/ and then Caldwell deciding that Roman was the best candidate. Also, I warmed up to Roman during/ after the playoff games as that made consecutive years of the 49ers offense doing well in the playoffs.

How exactly are hires of Bob friggin Babich who sucked with Chicago as DC despite having quality defensive talent, and Jedd flipping Fisch - who had trouble staying at one job for more than a year or 2 during his pre Jax days anything BUT underwhelming hires???

 

Are you serious??

 

TMD every assistant coach hire is underwhelming. 

 

Is it not?

 

No. 

 

Had they been able to secure Carmichael for OC, that certainly would not have been an underwhelming hire for OC.

Who is he OC for?  Serious question. 

 

I wouldn't have minded if they took a look at Wisenhunt, but regardless it was never that big of a deal to me.

If you'd ever been promoted in your lifetime, it would be easier for you to understand. 

 

Why don't you give it time to play out rather than jump to your constant, abrasive black and white opinions?  You're wearing this board out with your non-sense.  You need to get out of your mom's basement and get a hobby, seriously.  Over 41 thousand posts!?!  Imagine if you had used that time to do something constructive with your life rather than argue endlessly on the internet with strangers over something you only have a 50,000 ft view of and no real insight?

Currently with the Saints. Jax tried and failed to nab him when Bradley was hired. 

 

I agree about Whisenhunt, that would have been a fine hire too. 

 

Hiring top notch Coordinators is significant especially when you are a green coach like Bradley is. Look over the years at some of the coaches that have gone on to have a lot of playoff success, you will usually find top notch Coordinators there at that time too.

Oh that's right, I forgot.

 

You were against him until you were for him.   :wacko:

It wasn't as cut & dry/ black and white as you are trying to portray. Sorry the facts don't jive with your agenda.

No, I remember it absolutely.

 

It was another flawless execution of the now famous TMD flip-flop.

Don't even get me started about how ridiculous that is coming from you.

Yeah, I've done it in the past, so I guess that means I can't call others on it when they do they same thing??

What exactly is his "agenda" here?

Never argue with idiots. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Better watch it or DragonFury will lock this thread and accuse you all of being 12-year-olds.  He's such an ugly snot face.

Pfft, DragonFury?... he ain't got nothin' on Daenerys Targaryen, I heard she's his mother.

Everyone knows that had Caldwell hired Roman, TMD would have been the very first one to say that he ONLY hired him because they are close friends.

I, for one, am very happy with coach Bradley as the hire.  I think he definitely has the "feel" of a very good NFL head coach. 

He needs a lot more talent to be successful, however.  Here's hoping that Caldwell drafts really well next year and picks up some very solid starters.

Not necessarily. Depends on the circumstances. If Caldwell would have hired Roman after doing a "Gene Smith level head coach search" the year he hired -his- buddy Mularkey, then yes, I would have....

 

However, Had Caldwell done extensive due diligence and brought in say 6 or more really top notch head coach candidates and then at the end of the process, (which should include 2nd interviews for the finalists) chooses Roman over the others, then no, I would not have made that criticism.
