A Coach HAS to be the next casualty

Aah! Reaction time

It may be just a scapegoat at the moment but this game was on the coaches and someone needs to go.  The bad thing--This organization does not have the gall to make it Shula (yet)  

@KB_fan or a stat junkie needs to somehow find out rankings for teams when they are leading because we flee the second we get one, it's been like this since Ron took over.  Something like an opponent's scoring % after an own score.  I guarantee we are in the bottom-5 the last 4+ years running in that category.  Even when our D plays a great game (for 90% of it) this still happens.  

As much as a gambler he projected himself to be, we deflate as a team when we should gain freaking momentum.  Ron and Mike have not learned and it's year 5 with these two as HC-OC.  I'm done.  6 with Ron.  We have no ability to capitalize on momentum and only did last year bc of Cam and the defensive turnovers.  

I understand DA played awful and we were missing a whole lot but honest--the OL was formidable, the RBs great, and Olsen was unstoppable minus the drop, and the safeties rebounded.  

The culture they care so much about has melted away and teams like the Vikings and Raiders clearly got the itch we had last season.  You can visibly see how upset Luke, TD, Shaq, and Fozzy have become and they seem to be the only ones giving a f*ck.  

Undisciplined and uninspired football falls on coaching.  They need to start falling on their own swords.  I'm not waiting for a turnaround, these are things that they should have learned and not resurface annually.  

Final note: Good teams don't let things fall apart before making big changes.  I hope we learned from Foxball.

I'm at the final straw with Ron.  I swear we've been a game or two away from firing him twice in his career.  

I'd give Ron an ultimatum by the end of quarter 2 in the season.  If this continues after Cam returns, fire Shula, then Ron.  Promote Wilks to HC (the true heart of the coaching staff IMO) and promote Dorsey/Proehl/someone who gives a f*ck.

I don't want to win 5 meaningless games at the end of the season to save him this year.

Exactly.  We're not at the juncture of his tenure where this is acceptable.  We are defining a SB hangover to a tee and then some.

That doesn't sound too bad. Our scheme isn't whats bad. It the coaches coaching the scheme. Right now we have poor scheme coaches at the helm. We need the good ones. Nothing drastic. Just ones that are actually competent and know what the hell they're doing.

again me wishing mike shula accidentally takes the wrong exit on the interstate and ends up at a pottery barn and falls so in love with kitschy crafting he has to resign as OC because he wants to commit full time to selling furniture made out of recycled wooden pallets on etsy

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
