His history with this franchise is not done.  I think he'll end up in the ring of honor one day

Imo the only thing that would suggest he should is coaching the team to a Super Bowl. If that criteria gets Ron in, it should also get John Fox in as well, and not to insult either man, but I really don't want our team's Ring of Honor to include two coaches whose records were mediocre overall but managed to come up just short in the big game as their highest acheivement.

This maybe a dick thing to say but a lot of people in the media are acting like we just fired bill belicheck. I totally get Ron is a great dude and all that but he is literally the definition of mediocre. It’s very odd to me. Maybe a weird place to post this but I really figured Ron would just say a couple things to some reporters and be on his way. Presser is a little much tbh.

I'm not tracking media reaction, do you mean local media, national, or both? Just curious.

National media I just watched on NFL network. People are acting SHOCKED. Keep saying how highly respected this two time coach of the year is and how quickly he will get a job and why we couldn’t wait until the end of the season to fire such a decorated coach.
 

6-10

7-9

12-4

7-8-1

15-1 With one of the greatest single season qb performances in nfl history

6-10

11-5

7-9

5-7 with two of the worst losses in franchise history to seal his fate. 

I just don’t get it.

Despite my issues with his on-field decisions, again, I appreciate and respect him as a man.  I'm pretty sure I might have some dust kicking up in the room watching it.  There was a few good times, but there were a whole lot more frustrating ones.  Regardless, classy gesture by Tepper and Ron.

I'm inclined to chalk it up to the way the national media tends to ignore us. They don't pay attention to what's going on here ESPECIALLY when Cam is not playing, so to them this is out of left field, wheras anyone actually following the team is somewhat less shocked.

I think a lot of people are conflating who he is with how he coached.  I don't.  I think he is an outstanding human being, a great example to others, a leader, etc.  But, he has not been a great coach.  I had several teachers and mentors in life that I looked up to and appreciated, but that doesn't mean they would make great strategists or coaches.

      Option A:  Pay your starting QB starting QB money. Option B:  Look for a starting QB for 4-10 years (or longer) while wasting the talent at every other position.    How many of the top 20 QB's do you think are worth what they are being paid?   When you factor in the last year of his present deal his contract is really an average of 45 million per year which in today's QB market is a very, very good deal. I wish we'd had found a Brock Purdy to pay 50+ million a year right after we parted ways with Cam.  Ya'll go ahead and live in fairy tale land where good to great (much less elite) QB's are available to pay. Just the fact that they had the chance to pay Brock after the disaster of trading up for Lance is a testament that when you find a quarter back you can win with, complete in the playoffs and superbowls with, you pay him.

      They will still be a playoff team but they aren't contenders anymore IMO. They won't be able to spend like they have when they went to a SB and proved he couldn't carry a win at that level with a really good team around him. Now he is going to have to do it with less to spend around him. They just locked in to being a playoff bound team that's going to be a known speed bump for whoever will represent the NFC in the SB.

      Hmm. I think he'll live up to it. Last year, about half of his team was on IR it seems, at one time or another. Year before, Super Bowl appearance. Year before that, playoff run after being third on the depth chart and being pressed into service. Is he one of the greatest in the game right now? Nope. No chance of that. Is he in the top 10 going into next season? Pretty good chance of that.  Would 20 or more teams in this league love to have the guy as their starting QB. Most likely so. He's a good QB who can implement his coach's game plan to a T and has both the confidence of and confidence in his teammates. That'll take you a long way in this league if you've got the right cast around you, and he does.
