OT: Coaching firings around the league

[Sciz]

Potential direct impact: The Titans hire O’Brien as their new OC. (I’m not sold on that fit.)

Potential less direct impact: The Titans promote Tim Kelly, already on their staff, which would mean he isn’t reuniting with Bill O’Brien wherever he ends up. (He worked his way up under O’Brien, from graduate assistant at Penn State all the way to OC with the Texans.)

They better leave Groh and Wolf alone.
Kraft please keep these two.

 

[Love The Drake]

Bill better not be relaxing he needs to rebuild this staff.

 

[Love The Drake]

It’s a race with other teams to grab top talent.
That’s my biggest issue with Bill and co.
Just waits and thinks he can find coaches anywhere.

Any discussion here regarding BB's 'Kraft is cheap' (paraphrase) statement today or his utter lack of conviction regarding MacCorky's starter designation for '23?

Actual quote: "...over a three-year period, we are one of the lowest spending teams in the league.”

 

[RobertWeathers]

Interesting, I never knew that. Explains a lot about these guys.

If you look back at the many of the founding owners of teams in the 40s, 50s and even the 60s, they were big time degenerate gamblers influenced by their local mafia.

Good(ell)fellas: The NFL commissioner’s, team owners’ mob mentality

Roger Goodell's title is "NFL commissioner," but he's more like the head of a mob. And thanks to franchise owners, the NFL's quality is in clear decline......

How about letting people discuss freely on eigher side, as long as no insults or threats

My $0.02: Whiney might be fun for the whiners themselves, but not for people wanting "better discussions".

Who knows, maybe the site owner shares this opinion.

Tennessee apparently just ****-canned their offensive coaching staff


Edit, per Field Yates:

Vrabel kept his job after that massive choke? On November 17, the Titans were 7-3 and the Jaguars were 3-7. All they had to do to secure the division was win one more game and instead they went 0-7. That's brutal.

Does anyone expect a similar announcement to come from the Patriots? I don't.

and I suppose you unilaterally decide what posts are whiney? That seems fair. ? Too difficult to have a discussion without arbitrary labels

The Patriots staff is so small that they can just shift all the "failures" to other spots, with the probable exception of the current ST coordinator.

 

[zipster9]

I'm waiting for Matt Patricia. Demote Judge back to Special Teams. Fire Achord.

If it doesn't happen then at least half the forum membership will convince themselves "it's in the best interest of the team."

Please

Demote Judge back to Special Teams.

It would be a promotion

Fire Achord.

Please

Bill just seems to slack off and then hires retreads or yes men stating point of time best for team logic. If I were Kraft, I would be forcing bill to make at least few moves with regards to rehires.

After a dumpster truck of a season, the entire staff needs to be working overtime to get some balance back.


Worst ST of all 32 teams and the ST coordinator is not fired yet .

I do not accept the premise.
The rebuild occurred last year ($170 mill in FA spending)
Drafting your allotted draft picks (plus a couple extra 4th's) in 2022 is not a continuation of a rebuild, it's simply NFL business as usual

Note: The rebuild failed

LOL. So we both think there's a rebuild afoot. I think it's to a degree actual and ongoing. You think it remains purely theoretical. We agree , I assume, that the rebuild certaiinly isn't complete.
