This.

How are things in Detroit, Matt Patricia? Deer in the headlights, you say?

I do not get the love affair with Reggie McKenzie at all.  He's had one good draft in five years.  He's been through four head coaches, and the most recent hire was Jon Gruden.  This is the guy we want running our team?

Pass.

At this point of the season. Tepper, Rivera, Hurney, all the staff. A meeting has to be made. Tepper needs to let Rivera know if he's out or not. So things can progress accordingly. 

 

Cam is hurt, he needs to be rested the remainder of the season. They need to take a look at everyone in the roster, Heinecke for example. Once Rivera knows his fate I think things will transition much smoother. Whether he's gone or if he's got until his contract. 

 

One thing I would like to see is a New GM take over. Evaluate everything and everyone. Then move accordingly. 

 

But for gods sake, just don't let cam further damage himself. 

Capitalize “God”!

And Tepper needs to bring a pocket full of pink slips with him to this meeting.

I think there's a very good chance Kahn will be the choice at GM if a change is made.  And from an offensive standpoint, McDaniel would also make a lot of sense.  IMO, he's a masterful OC (and also lucked into having Brady for the bulk of his career), and would do wonders with a healthy Cam, CMC, Moore and Samuel. 

However, I'm not sure if he's a very good leader.  He likely learned a lot from his mistakes in Denver, so I wouldn't expect a repeat of that situation if he's hired here.  But I just don't have confidence that he is the type that can take charge of the team the way you need your HC to.  IMO, the biggest problem he had in Denver is that he was trying too hard to be like Belicheck, and that only works if you ARE like Belicheck,  otherwise it comes across as disingenuous.

Gruden wasn't McKenzie's choice.

Heck, coaching changes in general probably weren't McKenzie's choice.

Does anyone know who would be a coach connected to Omar Kahn if he were named GM?

Probably someone on the Steelers staff already would be my first guess.  Who that would be I have no idea because I don't follow Shitsburg.

Dennis Allen was certainly McKenzie's choice.  Obviously Sparano was interim, but you'd assume he was involved there too.  I don't know for sure about Del Rio.

Also - those drafts.

Let's just hope Haley left a terrible taste in his mouth.

A Lake Dawson and Eric Bieniemy combo is what I’m pulling for

I can definitely see why fans would want wholesale change but I don't know if Tepper being from the Steelers organization is just going to clean house in an already above average franchise. His fellow Steeler owner who bought the Browns has changed and changed coaches to no avail. He went opposite of the Steeler way. If Tepper absorbed anything from the Steelers is that to maintain their "way" they promote and hire from within. Ron is a good coach but for the first time this team has the capability to hire from within and not skip a beat,  offensively at least. My gut says Ron will get the opportunity to turn things around with the new ownership. Tepper will build and not necessarily destroy.
