Quote:This has got to be the third or fourth time I've seen someone compare an NFL team to a typical company. It would take too long to spell out why this is an illogical comparison. Seeing your posts throughout the years I can assume you really don't believe the comparisons are parallel?

 

Would it really? Seems like logical fallacy. It couldn't also mean the team needed growth, new players needed to acclimate, or they players just flat out played like crap? While I do believe Marrone may try to keep as many current coaches as possible, what is to say any would actually support him? It's pretty typical to see coaches and assistants jump like flees during a coaching change, that is, unless they are bottom rung.

 

At it's core, it's no different than any other business.  You're hired to do a job.  Succeed and you're rewarded.  Fail and you're done.  The NFL is a results driven business like any other.  Bradley has been given an EXTRAORDINARY level of patience in trying to succeed as a head coach, and here we are in year 4 still talking about the team looking unprepared and not playing up to potential.  I've been a defender of allowing things to play themselves out.  I think we've come to the point where that's happened, and it's crystal clear he's not the answer, so the team really has no reason to delay this for much longer.  If they lose in London, I would be surprised to see  him preparing another game plan for this team. 

 

Would it really?  You're the one who asked what would happen if "Marrone was successful".  If he was indeed successful in turning things around as an interim head coach, and the current staff contributed to that success, I'm sure he'd try to retain the guys who best fit what he wants to do moving forward.  There are always going to be changes, but so what?  We've seen that here even when there hasn't been a head coaching change.  That's the nature of the business in the NFL.
