Why don't we make mid-season coaching changes?

But others do? Will this continue with Tepper? 

Cause if so, I do see it being a problem especially when it's warranted. Never forget Ravens fired their OC and went on to win the SB. Why does this organization wait until the building burns down to make changes?

It all honesty it'll be wrong to fire Washington because he shouldn't even be our DC. You mean to tell me nobody up top can force Ron to take over the defense, let Washington go back to the DL for the rest of the year? They're just going to allow this to continue? If the standard up top not set, it's not going to trickle down

Other than that one example, usually when you fire a coach or coaches midseason, the season is lost. While we pretty much believe the season has now been lost, there is a glimpse of possibility they can right the ship. But firing someone would pretty much be sinking the ship. Also, who do we replace Washington with at DC?

I’m guessing (hoping) Tepper is more of a scorch and salt the earth kind of guy and will likely clean slate with his franchise at season’s end. 

It’d be nice of Tepper to send a message, but like you pointed out, Washington is another of Ron’s poor decisions bearing no  fruit and with Norv being a first time OC the likeliest of candidates who should be fired is Rivera.

Just an unfortunate mess all around

Most teams won’t fire a coach if they’re mathematically still in playoff contention, it makes no sense to. 

Why Ron doesn’t take the playbook from Eric is a mystery to me. He has to know his job is on the line but refuses to take over the defense. Maybe he knows there’s no fixing it and will make himself look worse by calling the plays.

The increase in blitzing against the Seahawks make me think Rivera at least had a hand in the gameplan this week. It was working early on but the Seahawks adjusted, which made those early red zone failures that much more painful.

We are still above .500 at 6-5 right in the thick of things for a wildcard playoff spot. 

I don't care how sick of your head coach you are, you don't fire them under that situation. 

Mid season firings are for the dumpsterest of fires and teams who have no chance of making a playoff push. 

Like it or not, we're stuck with Ron until the end of the season.

I can live with that.

If we're stuck with him beyond that though, that's when I have issues.

    • NEVER FORGET!!!!   Canales was on no one's radar. Tepper couldn't get anyone to come here. He was all in on Ben Johnson. Nobody wants to work with Tepper, however Canales tenure may prove important for the next guy. This guy still has no idea what he's doing. 
    • The 4th down play was poor execution by Chuba. He didn't want to get physical like Rico and cut North South to lean on his blocks from Tremble and Ekwonu for half a yard. Also, the 3rd down play before that Bryce audibled out to a QB run and almost got the 1st down was on Chuba for not knowing the play call leading to poor execution. You can see Chuba's confusion when Bryce had to realign him. Then Chuba thought he was getting the handoff and was slow to develop his double team on the DE with Tremble. Then Chuba hesitated on pushing the block and just ran to the sideline making Bryce have to loop around him. This pulled the DE away from Tremble forcing Chuba to chip on the DE late and leaving the safety as a free defender. Chuba was suppose to double down on the DE to let Tremble peel off to the safety. This allows Bryce to set up his run to the inside or outside after the safety commits. You can also see Tremble walk over to talk to Chuba after the play and Chuba shrugs which tells me he didn't know what to do. The audible would have worked on 3rd and the dive would have worked on 4th. The plays were good calls and drawn up well. The question is why was Chuba unprepared for those plays in two critical back to back plays? I like Chuba as a 1st down RB and passing downs, but I have always seen him lacking the power and vision to be a short yardage power back. Chuba didn't come prepared for the Saints game or he was thrown into a position at the 3 spot that he was never prepared for.
    • Yeah man, that was a catch. I like to imagine the game isn’t rigged but it’s well known sports betting is ruining the sport. Unfortunately, most coaches plan for 3 phases of the game. But there is really 4, offense, defense, special teams, and special occasions. on special occasions the refs can influence the game, leaving you in positions your actively planning to stay out of and how you respond in those special occasions make or break the game. Other times it’s other reasons. But I like to hope that the right team, or right player can extend past those types of setbacks and still find a way. anywho, probably a pipe dream. But it’s how I see it.
