Mr. Scot

He did all last year, and did pretty well when we had the run heavy scheme under Steve Wilks.

The OL personnel aren't the problem. They were arguably the best line we'd had last year. The offense was changed to a zone blocking scheme that didn't fit their skill set, especially from center left. Corbett and Moton could do it. If he were healthy, Christensen could probably do it. Everybody else? Not so much. The only thing I'd recommend with the O-Line is to move Ekwonu inside to left guard. He's much better suited there for going to keep a pass heavy scheme like this. Also more ideal to have a really strong interior line if you have a shorter quarterback. Yes, that'd leave us needing a left tackle (again) unless the team believes Christensen can handle that job.

One point I would add... While I don't believe you can proceed without firing Scott Fitterer at this point because of the mistrust the story will create, I don't put it past David Tepper to try.

Don't drink, but I do pizza (granted, anymore most of what I take in is diabetes and fibromyalgia meds)

So yeah, Joe's getting blacklisted from future pressers

Jamal Adams...

Fair...

But hey, this didn't happen to us...

FYI: Bad news for Harbaugh fans if true... (Fowler is a pretty reliable source)

I agreed with your original assessment that temper should have fired the first coach that came to him talking badly about Reich. A good leader doesn't want somebody like that in their organization. But apparently Tepper does

I think we picked pretty good OL talent If we wanted to be a smashmouth running team. Zone blocking WCO? Not so much.

I think if you want employees going around stabbing each other in the back, then yeah, you're a sh-tty leader. I agree with the take that if somebody came to me doing that crap, I'd probably fire them.

Him being smart enough to realize that he's the problem would be even better. (not holding my breath on that, though)

No argument... Just don't go back and rebuild the same damn house.

You do if you're a sh-tty leader.

I'd say he might be out forever. (and nobody should blame him if he is, that's insane)

From today... Guess we might be saying goodbye to Chuba Hubbard as well

If you'd spent years building up to it, would you want your first head coaching opportunity tied to this toxic organization? I'd say his smartest move is probably to get far away from here. (and chances are, he'll have an opportunity to do that)

The story as it came out today was that Reich wanted to spend this year getting Young comfortable with NFL playcalling and wait until the offseason to try and correct things like his footwork. The more I read, the more I believe Reich really would have preferred to sit Young in favor of a veteran for his rookie year, but that doesn't appear to have been an option.

I'll take Option B

You realize that even if we did all that, we'd probably also hire Marty Hurney back as the GM and thus, screw it all up

Yeah...Not "the way", and not happening.

Didn't talk about the player level because that's really subject to who the coach is... But DJ Chark and Brad Bozeman were both quoted in Person and Russini's article. Bozeman specifically confirmed the long-held speculation that the blocking scheme were using doesn't fit his style, as well as that of others. I like Bozeman a lot and what's happened this year isn't his fault, but I have to wonder if he hasn't just written his ticket out of Carolina. Chark probably doesn't give a sh-t. Pretty sure he was on a one-year contract anyway.

Again, Tepper doesn't give a sh-t what the players think... Well, unless they want to complain about the head coach
