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

    • I’m not mad at Moehrig.  He’s great at what he does.  And to be honest, a lot of my favorite safeties in our history were box-first type guys - Maxie, Minter, Mike Mitchell, Chris Harris…  they’re first and foremost objective was to put people on their backs and coverage was secondary.  There is a place for that.  There is a definite need for that.  Physical guys that set the tone.  So cool, we have that in Moerhig. But what we have lacked for the vast majority of our existence is a true free safety that cleans everything up on the back end.  Sometimes they come in the form of a JOAT, like Peppers.  I think he would be a fantastic compliment to Moehrig’s strengths and weaknesses.  If we don’t go after him, I certainly hope Ransom is given the chance to grow and develop in real-time with real game reps, because what he did in preseason was very encouraging to see.  I hope he can grow into that roaming center fielder with a little bit of an edge to him as an enforcer as well.  He has the tools.  In the meantime, adding Peppers would only help.
    • Option 1 is most likely. Even if he kills it this year, it wouldn't be prudent to rush an extension for one good season. If you have to pay him more because you waited another year, then he earned it. And that's OK. Adjust accordingly. 
    • Cam had the advantage of having a very strong supporting cast his first 2 seasons. Things definitely worsened later on. But those first couple of years can kill a QB. Some never truly recover. If they do recover it takes years, and usually with another team. Trying to learn to be an NFL QB with TEs and WRs that are trying to learn too is a recipe for disaster. Imagine if Cam's rookie season was that 2014 offensive squad. Changes everything! I said it when they moved up in 2023. This team wasn't ready for a rookie QB yet. Anyone that thinks Stroud would have been a lot better is delusional. The correct formula is to build a strong team and then you go get your rookie QB. Not the other way around. BY is going into his third season and we're still trying to put a respectable group of WRs and TEs around him. I think they have the right personnel now. Unfortunately they haven't developed into actual NFL players yet.  This season we should expect consistency and aggressiveness from BY. Mostly for his development but also to DEVELOP his young cast.
