What advantages are there to firing RR quickly?

Once we’re mathematically eliminated what reason will there be to keep him? Hell you’re doing him a favor by firing him early. Let’s stop with the “it’s disrespectful” to the coach narrative. We haven’t given a damn about the players even when one of the best players in franchise history was shown the door y’all didn’t care about the disrespect. He still gets paid. His family won’t be hungry or starving. You don’t perform you get fired. That’s how the world works. fug his feelings and if anything it sends a message to future coaches that if you come here you better come to win. 

The Rams fired Fisher in the middle of the season, who was a well respected coach around the league similar to Rivera and still got Sean Mcvay 

The Bills fired Rex Ryan mid season. How’d that turn out for them? 

The Eagles fires Chip Kelly with one game left to go in the season and then won a Super Bowl. 

So let’s stop that silly stupid narrative please. 

Hard to argue with this.

I’m not as convinced as everyone here that Ron will be fired. I think Hurney is definitely gone. 

This would be a very bad decision. I can't see a reason to keep him. We've seen everything there is to see. Anyone actually think he can get better? He's been given top tier talent and a plethora of resources. He's been given guidance from his boss. He had every opportunity to prepare for the QB situation we find ourselves, without the starter. He's supposed to be one of the best defensive coaches in the league and still winds up with the worst run defense and a losing record and this was after the off-season was spent building the defense and securing talent via free agency and the draft. 

Seriously, I can't believe that Tepper would be sitting there going, "maybe he's in the cusp of getting it. Maybe he just needs one more shot at it and it will all come together."

If it hasn't by now, it won't. You find out what a coach has in the first 5 years of his tenure. If they haven't created a consistent winner in that time, they aren't going to be able to do it. 5 years is ample time to get it figured out.

    • Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that. 
    • I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
