Comparing this to the Seifert era...(yeah, it's that bad)

Those first two years, Beuerlein was playing well.  In 1999 he was great, had decent targets around him and he started slowing down in 2000 with an average year. The thing was, we were competitive and right on the cusp of the playoffs both of those seasons.  

 

2001 comes along...Steve is gone and we end up having to play our 28 y/o 4th round draft pick at QB.  We're not necessarily as terrible as the record showed, were competitive, and the only major blowouts that year were the last two games of the season once we were 1-13.   

 

Where am I going with this? That team at least seemed to give a sh*t.  Sure, we had a grey statue on the sidelines but never truly were ill-prepared as we've been this season.  We showed promise despite obviously not having a competent QB and supporting cast.

 

Fast forward to this season...we have been blown out 5 times in 9 games by more than 18 points.  Game planning, clock management and situational coaching/playcalling is awful and it just doesn't seem they know how to use the players they have.  

 

Regardless of our $$ situation and whatnot, this is the worst coaching I have ever seen in the franchise's history.  Honest to god, worse than the Seifert era.  I began with this team in Clemson and from my perspective, our coaching has never been worse.  Not in Fox's last season, Seifert's, or Capers.  They at least were able to get the team to stay competitive even though we were losing left and right.  We almost got Clausen to beat the Saints in the dome for pete's sake.    

 

This staff is far too limited from an in-game awareness standpoint and restricting the team from winning games. If DG doesn't see this and advise JR to make moves, we are in for a very long remainder of the year and offseason.  I really hope DG and JR can come together to see the coaching staff's ineptitude.  We spent enough damn money on Accorsi and a GM search committee to bring in a guy who notices not just players to bring in...but terrible coaching and I hope we can make the right move.  

 

So is this worse than Seifert?

      Dan Morgan on the Rich Eisen show

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.

      Well, seeing as we play the Lions at home this year, pretty sure that rumor isn't true.

      Totally possible imo, I also caught that snippet from Morgan where he said “If” we sign him. The lack of competition says otherwise tho 🤷‍♂️
