Richardson wasn't. He was ready to fire Rivera two years in before Marty fell on the sword.

Also worth remembering that we've got additional incentive to hope this stuff succeeds given that our head coach doesn't believe in firing assistants.

Hey

 

we are swinging for the fences. We are taking a big chance on Rhule, and if he hits, its going to be big. I think your motto of playing it safe has a lot to do with why you can spend so much time on a message board, having twice as many posts as the next guy. Im not exactly sold on what the message board guy thinks on how we should build a franchise. Ima go with the self made billionaire guy. I trust his opinion more than dysfunctional message board guy.

Other guys being Matt LaFleur (who you noted, went 14-4 and had a postseason bye) and Zac Taylor who, yes, went 2-14, but for a team that was clearly tanking and now has the #1 pick and in line to select who could be the next generational talent at QB? Who else is there? And to be fair, all of these guys, McVay included, are actually part of the Shanahan coaching tree.

edit: And if you include Kliff Kingsbury, he's also an NFL HC rookie that was working with a rookie QB. Bottom line, if you're expecting anything more than 4-5 wins this coming year (especially if Cam is gone), you're expecting too much, and I'm willing to bet that'd be the case whether we hired a college HC or a veteran NFL coordinator. There is simply not enough talent on this team short-term.

I'm not expecting much this year, and that wouldn't have changed no matter who we hired.

The main point was to remind folks that "new and different" doesn't necessarily mean it's gonna be great. We all hope it is, but I remember when Chip Kelly was going to set the league on fire, the Dolphins running the Wildcat all the time was revolutionary and everybody was gonna be running the read option all the time too.

There will be games where we really will suck. There will be games where we blow the opponent out of the water. New coaches, it's to be expected. There's just one request I'm making:

Please, please, please beat the sh!t out of Atlanta, New Orleans, and Tampa Bay. At least at home but I'll take away games too.

puss in boots please GIF

After noticing how nearly every other coach on the staff is at least an entire generation younger than he is, I envision Snow looking around the room at the first coaches meeting like flinty eyed Sam Eliot playing Sgt Major Plumley In We were young and Soldiers once:

”Any of you sumbitches calls me grandpa and i’ll @#$&ing kill ya.”

I’ve noticed this coaching staff is in my generation and even younger. This makes me sad.

Yup. I too am concerned because this is an area that we have struggled with and is in need of vision, talent evaluation, and putting a blueprint together to keep our QB clean and our RBs with alleys.

We supposedly had one of the "best in the biz" with Matzko, but I wonder why our OLs have been so awful for so long under his watch. 

Either we didn't provide the talent to him to mold or maybe he had better players to work with in Baltimore prior to Carolina, thus it was the players that made him succeed.

You sound like the guy in high school that went after the popular girls with loose gaping holes because collectively they are considered attractive and popular by everyone, yet you pass up the cute quiet girl with glasses that wears a sweater that ends up being smoking hot and a great personality, and didn't have 50 dicks pounding her brains out. 

oh god, why did i read this?    you've got to be able to come up with a better 'metaphor' than this.   this is fugging awful

    • Thank God DM used that #8 pick on a bona fide WR1 and not some bum pass rushing prospect like Stewart or someone else. I believe Tet is legit WR1 material and going forward will be our long term answer at that position since we desperately were in need of one once they traded away DJ Moore.  Tet could possibly end up even being better long term than someone who I respect a ton as a WR in Moore. Evans has been a pleasant surprise and great TE/FB depth piece going forward who could make the most of his opportunities.  Any good offense worth a damn in the NFL has 3 TEs that can do multiple things and being scared by Ian Thomas play for years should makes us all appreciate what Evans is quietly doing as a ROOKIE at one of the hardest positions to learn at the pro level.  Keep cooking DM. This season is not over obviously but seeing some growth out of young talent finally is a breathe of fresh fuggin air for once. 
    • Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
