I’ve always been of the opinion, and said before that not much will change until the scouting department is overhauled. The number of draft picks that we’ve missed on is inexcusable. I know that a few of those scouts are holdovers (Cole spencer, morrow). Not sure how culpable they are/were in the terrible drafting but we couldn’t have been much worse in the last few years.

One of his players in the comments singing his praises. Someone else pointing out how grown men address him as sir because he commands respect. Dear Nicole Tepper, please tell dave to choose the best candidate, not the one that makes him giddy.

When you get a coach who doesnt have true leadership qualities, you open yourself up to poo like the divided locker room fiasco that we experienced this season. Sure, it can happen to anyone but you best believe that the Wilks, Campbells, Tomlin types are shutting the Chit down and making for damn sure that he doesnt lose the locker room. Youre dealing with testosterone filled, 20 something year old alphas like Smitty, Ray Lewis, Aaron Donald etc., who have to WANT to go to war for you, and not just for a paycheck. They are looking the coach in the eye and evaluating him the same way that they’ve been evaluated athletically. The Reich & Rhule types aint it.

Shout out to redditor “Danofthecloth” for the find! Seems well respected, knowledgeable and thorough in his approach. Also has a good track record of hires. We shall see. “In 2015, the NFL’s Philadelphia Eagles brought Forde in to take a look at their organization; soon after, they decided to move on from head coach Chip Kelly. Forde said owner Jeffrey Lurie and general manager Howie Roseman approached him about helping find a replacement. “I don’t know whether we could help you,” he told Lurie, “but I can probably tell you the mistakes I’ve made when hiring coaches and that could be of some value to you,” a nod to Chelsea’s having run through nine managers in Forde’s seven years with the club. But first he called up around 15 friends from the sports industry to gauge their thoughts. “And to a person,” Forde said, “they all told me, ‘Absolutely, you should do it, you guys are perfect for this.’ And that kind of gave me the green light.” https://www.theringer.com/nba/2021/4/14/22380676/nba-general-manager-mike-forde

In a heartbeat

I somewhat agree. I also feel that guys like Demeco, Tomlin, Dan campbell, Sirianni all possess a certain hard nosed quality that shapes the football culture. I do believe that teams take on the personality of their coach to a point. Yes Mike McDonald is an offensive savant. His team also tucks their nuts when they get hit in the mouth. The 9ers always play Shanahan football, even when McDonald was on staff. Leaders of men is an overused cliche. BEING a hard nosed leader is not. Knowing football aint enough. Reich knows football too.

All great points, most of which I actually agree with. My personal hope is that we chose the best LEADER that guys will want to play for. Probably won't though. FML

Smfh. To be such an astute businessman he would make a god awful poker player.

Thomas Brown: ok guys here we go, lets run behind Nash jensen and whoever TF our left guard is. Theyre due for 1 successful block”

So was Seifert at the time.

Bro fug this fugging team. All of em.

Fug man. This bs is so unacceptable, at every level

Bro…WHAT THEE FUG WAS THAT

Throw a fade to Mingo on second and 1 from the 2? Got it Thomas Brown

Lmao

Dave not doing a bit of damage to that cooch either lol. Guess you dont have to with Billions

I said it in the game thread and I’ll reiterate. We will suck ass until and ONLY until we overhaul the scouting department. You CANNOT miss on high first rounders consistently and sign awful free agents all while trading away assets. Its fugging nonsensical and frustrating af to be perfectly honest.

This franchise’s fortunes wont change until the scouting department does. way too many misses.You can go hire Parcells, it wont matter.

This is legitimately one of the worst teams that I have ever fuggin seen.

Teams take on the personality of their coach. Demeco Ryans. Dan Campbell, Wilkes, Sirriani, List goes on. It starts there. As an owner/gm, define wtf you want your identity to be and hire accordingly. Frank had to hire Deuce because he’s not a motivator himself. That shouldve been red flag #1.

5 wide with a line that cant block anyone. Seems like a great idea

Simple poo. On 3rd and medium you motion miles sanders out instead of keeping in an extra blocker to help your POS line and your rookie guard. Frank the offensive guru

3rd and 1. Yea yall enjoy the game. Im out

Colts allow 38…Pts…per…game
