Todd Haley and Raheem Morris...

...have both made themselves into lightning rods.

If their respective teams have trouble, both are going to face a fair amount of questioning over their decisions to fire their OCs right before the season.

For my part though, I don't find the situations equivalent.

Morris has explained that he believes Jeff Jagodzinski essentially just wasn't ready for the OC position. Longtime Panther fans should be able to relate to that, as it mirrors the situation we once had with Bill Musgrave.

Haley on the other hand? From what I've read, he just sounds like a guy whose ego won't allow him to trust anyone else to do the job he used to do.

Rightly speaking, I think Haley should be judged a little more harshly here. Morris is trying to make the best of a bad situation. Yes, he's partly responsible in that he hired Jagodzinski, but given his resume it was a reasonable hire (same deal as with Musgrave).

But Haley? He seems to be digging his own hole.

Obviously, both guys get a mulligan for at least this season. But each has to have made positive changes within 3 seasons. That's how it goes these days in the NFL, and sometimes the fuse is even shorter.

Regardless, I think the timing is garbage. If there is a difference of opinion between the coordinator and HC as far as philosophy, then that needs to get hashed out before week 3 of the preseason! Yes, you can't truly understand a "philosophy" until you've seen it on the field, live, against another team. So, I can envision why these coaches made the decisions- they knew their coordinator's philosophy did not jibe with their own and decided to do it sooner, rather than later. In KC's case, at least, I think this will work out for the better. I think that Haley, coming off of being an OC, will be best suited for just taking the reins of the offense and moving on. I think that this might actually turn out to be a great move... say, by week 7

      I try to keep up and project the roster with color-coded charts.  You can see priorities and gauge who has the best chance of making the roster--you can see the priorities as well.  Here, Yellow is a 2025 draft pick, green is an undrafted free agent, and orange is a free agent. The depth chart will obviously change and I am not sure about roles (positions in all cases), so that is not the real issue at this time, but yellows and oranges show how the team focused on which aspects of the defense:     In the front 5, there were 3 draft picks, 3 free agents (not including players we re-signed), and two undrafted players signed. In the back 6, there was 1 draft pick and 2 free agents (LB, S), and four undrafted free agents. The undrafted free agents are always long shots, but by identifying them, you can tell which longshots might make the roster.

      The rise of analytics in sports goes back to the use of sabermetrics in baseball.  The ironic thing is that the whole point of Bill James work was to objectively figure out each players contribution to to a team's wins throughout the season.  This is possible in baseball because each at bat is essentially a 1v1 with an objective outcome.  Applying statistical averages also works a lot better with hundreds of plate appearances over 162 games a year. PFF grades plays subjectively, and then puts them into buckets.  They then create different statistics based on those buckets.  That's all well and good and I'm not saying it's useless.  But calling it analytics like it's some kind of objective science is a far cry from what is actually going on.
