The Next Head Coach


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

After reading through all this I'm thinking it may just be easier to move back to Pittsburgh where I lived for a few years and just fully jump off the Panthers bandwagon and jump on the Steelers bandwagon and hold on with both hands.

Speaking of the Eagles, Pat Shurmur is a guy with some cred. He's a highly tenured QBs coach in a system that gives QBs coaches some power.

But that he didn't get the OC job might hurt him a little. Other young guys have gotten a chance around him.

Remind me. Is he any relation to Fritz?

Fritz passed away a while back, didn't he?

He'd have to promise not to pick up Pac Man :lol:
lol

there are a few decisions he made that i don't like and a few lack of moves that he should have made.

i just don't think that he put the titans in the best situation to win. the team needed to move on from both him and fisher when they did and probably earlier than that.

titans should have made a clean break from the oilers and that includes a break from reese and fisher.

Fisher and Reese were, for a time, the same sort of hand-in-glove that Fox and Hurney have been. That one ended rather badly though. Wonder how this one will end.

Might be another topic, but I wonder if there's a realistic scenario that would involve John Fox losing his job but Marty Hurney retaining his.

I personally can't see it, but I suppose anything's possible.

hurney deciding between his job and fox's and pulling the plug himself.

that would do it. it would show that hurney is capable of moving on and forward.

i don't really see it happening, though. fox/hurney/jake seem to have their futures tied together.

hurney has to decide between loyalty to the team/organization and loyalty to his friend. i like being loyal to your friends but that isn't what he is getting paid for. he is getting paid to make the team competitive and winning. his job is to make sure the right people are in the right jobs to help this team achieve it's goals.

a huge part of that is having the right head coach in place to help that happen. if that coach isn't winning then that coach needs to figure out how to or be replaced with someone who can do it.

he needs to have fox on that hot seat or his own seat is going to be a bit toasty.

    • Yeah, Dave doesn't seem like a "muh scheme" type of coach where he wants plays drawn up for his QB to robotically go through a preprogrammed process. He seems like more the type of coach that just wants his scheme to produce opportunities for a QB to be a playmaker. It's a scheme you'd love to play in as a QB and it's the type of scheme that should work really well for the "point guard mentality" QB they tried to sell us on Bryce being and the type of QB he was at Alabama but at the NFL level all of those physical shortcomings that seemed plainly evident to many of us on the college field are showing up in a big way. Even with his bad decisions I honestly think a lot of it is that he's struggling to see the field. I don't mean that figuratively in that he's misreading the defense or missing open receivers, I mean that literally in that I think he's struggling to see the field over the lines of 6'4"+ huge men in front of him. Reich used to talk about creating throwing lanes for Bryce to see through and holy poo... if you need throwing lanes now you've massively shrunk your opportunities. Now you're trying to play QB through a picket fence. If you watched him play at Bama, you saw him routinely drop back 10-15 yards behind the LOS to gain depth so that he could see over the scrum. You just can't do that routinely in the NFL. NFL pass rushers are just too good. Your OTs can't create that deep of a pocket.
    • This could be a breakout game for Kyle Pitts. I'm hoping for a miracle just so we have something to talk about besides the team sucking poo.
    • I don't remember a 2018 tear down. I remember the failed 2019 failed build up of the 3-4 switch which is still stuck in the 'working on the foundation' stage. I thought 2020 was closer to that but really it was just an idiot behind the wheel doing what idiots do. Poor drafting and free agents is the main problem IMO. This team hits so little on talent it's actually amazing they don't stumble over more just by accident.   I still don't think there is anything to tear down. Just a ton of easy to dump people that should happen. It's a bottom of the roster churn that reaches 2/3s the way up this roster.
