How to fix it (Coaching)

Blow up the coaching staff and start over again.

Fox has run his course, for whatever reason he's unable to get results from the talent on this team.

There's a good reason why there was a mass exodus of assistant coaches last year, some of the guys took demotions because they were no longer willing to stake their profession reputation on Fox's inability to get results.

I've heard people suggest Davidson for interim HC, which I think is retarded even before his horrid playcalling for the past 2 weeks in the 2nd half. I honestly don't know what to do about the coaching but it's obvious it's their fault. Can someone tell me why they broke camp early when clearly all 3 phases of the game needed work?

i was thinking about him getting fired midseason and decided it was incredibly unlikely because all those other coaches are yes men so who in the world would take over?

just go ahead and get the next coach in. get started with the new regime. consider the rest of the year to be an evaluation of the team.

if cowher is who they want....just go ahead and make it happen.

right now i just don't care.

Because they didn't see it that way.

(and that was clearly a huge mistake)

When we went into halftime up 7-0 last night, I had a nasty thought.

"Phillips and his staff are going to jump on the Cowboys" I said, "and make some adjustments." For whatever you think of Jason Garrett as a leader, he's been fairly decent at making adjustments.

What worried me about that? The thought that over in the other locker room, rather than trying to anticipate those things and counter them, Fox might be comfortable and reassuring. The fear that instead of harping on the fact that the team could still wind up 0-3 if they didn't step on their opponent's throat right now, he'd let them coast.

Word came last night that Fox told the team to consider the score as being 0-0 at halftime and to go out and play that way.

My first thought: "What?" :sosp:

My fear was based on a history of this team under Fox. And sadly, it turned out to be a valid one.

I was thinking the exact same thing. That last drive let them think they were doing things right. I imagined the halftime speech being 'just keep doing what you're doing' when they clearly had to improve.

Anyone who's read the beat writers this morning (I haven't yet) know why Everette Brown was deactivated last night?

Unless he was hurting, seems like an odd move to me in a game where you wanted more pass rush.

He got hurt at some point during the week in practice. He didn't practice for the last three sessions or something and was listed as doubtful on the injury report. I guess he could not go.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By LegioX · Posted

      Bryce has been in the NFL 3 years and still looks like a very mediocre QB. Most games are nothing but mediocre plays with a highlight reel every now and then.  He is a very INCONSISTENT QB and it’s very fustrating. He does not deserve a 5th year option, even though the Panthers and all the dumb asses in the front office will give it to him.

      If they lose the last three......

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      I’ve rarely ever been more sure of anything than losing out — but how can anyone say with a straight face “Bryce hasn’t improved, but Canales has and he’s masks his flaws”. You have to be so out of touch with reality to put one way above the other when discussing those two.

      Last night was the classic example of a visiting team just holding on through the wave of emotion a home team has at the start of a big time game. Bama’s first two kickoff returns really set them back as far as playcalling and allowed OU to dictate field position. The emotion of the home crowd fed into what OU was doing at that point, and it felt like Bama would not be able to overcome that.     Once the kickoff returner was told to fair catch every kick, the game shifted, as Bama wasn’t starting each drive inside their own 15. It was then that Bama was able to make some plays, outscoring OU 34-7 the rest of the way.  I think the last 3/4 of the game proves Bama was the better team. OU was just able to ride the initial wave of emotion to a big lead, but Bama held on just enough.  However, had OU blocked the punt on Bama’s second drive and scored a TD (vice a FG on the ensuing drive), things likely would have been different.  Anyway, Roll Tide!
