I remember him. He used to stand on the sidelines like a corpse emotionless. I was young but I called him zombie coach. It appeared they wheeled him out on a lift like a statue and then wheeled him back in when the game was over. That guy truly did not give a crap and was just standing there collecting a paycheck. I thought he was a great coach with the 49ers but apparently he was riding some coat tails with someone else's roster as he was bottom of the barrel bad and cared not one bit about it. What an ass he was. I think a dead body was more animated than that waste of space.

Fox and Company....Skipper Henning etc were pretty good at situation management 

It was between Fox and Rivera because they took us to the SB. Fox gets my vote. 

Rivera did nothing at half time to help our offense.  We could have won that game had Rivera/Shula made some adjustments.  

Dan Henning changed our entire gameplan at halftime since the Cheatriots knew everything we were running.  That move by Henning gives my nod to Fox.  While Henning was responsible, Fox gets some of the credit.

That's gonna be a tough one.

Rivera either couldn't or wouldn't adjust in the second half so we always faltered there.

Hard to say Fox because he pulled that bullsh-t against the Cardinals.

Capers? 🤔

I was gonna say Capers, but he wasn't too far off from the cautious defensive guys Fox and Rivera were. They all were "play it safe" guys at their core. When we were down I never expected much in the way of an ability to adjust and come back. Rivera had a little moment where he tried but the reverted back to his cautious default.

I might say Rivera because he had that "riverboat ron" moment but then turned back into "paddle boat ron".

So there not really anyone that has stood out. None were all that great.

We've read stories about guys like McDaniels, McVay, Reid and others making crazy on -the-fly adjustments in games that turned out to be brilliant.

Be nice to have someone that could consistently do that sort of thing.

Fair points on Seifert, I forgot how terrible he was on the sidelines.

i just remember Capers writing in his stupid notepad after every play.  Updated rankings:

1. Fox

2. Rivera

3. Capers

4. Rhule

5. Seifert

I feel sick 🤢

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.

      If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
