I'm all in on blowing up the coaching staff, but I actually really like what Fit and Morgan are doing. 

I think he has been hamstrung by the fact he was hired after Rhule and the final decision goes to Rhule but I love they way he approaches the draft and how he continues to look for value. 

I think he should be given the chance to hire his own staff and make the accountability start from there.

I think our roster is built pretty well, with a few exceptions (QB obviously, giving up draft capital, etc.) so I'd give them a shot to stick around with a new HC. However, if we want to go after a Sean Payton or Jim Harbaugh and they want full control and/or to handpick their own front office then by all means. I suspect either of them would be fine with Fitt/Morgan staying initially and if it wasn't working out after a year or two then they'd be replaced but for proven NFL coaches like those 2 I'd give them whatever they want.

The one thing I wish Fitt would do is value early round picks better. A 3rd round for CJ Henderson, a future 3rd rounder (which will likely be a top 5-7 pick in the round) for Corral...these are premium picks that shouldn't be wasted on marginal talent. Other than that, I do like being aggressive and trading mid-to-late round picks for proven vets like Gilmore and Shenault.

Agree with T96.   The roster is a pretty good unit with some young guys that could also become stars.  The glaring problem is obviously QB.   

 

Fitterer deserves his lumps because he was involved in Sam and Baker deals.     But I think he has built a roster that's worthy of having a shot with a real HC.      

 

I say let them both stay.

Fire Fitt and promote Morgan to GM.  Look at the Eagles or Lions OC as our next HC and I will be happy.  Harbaugh would be great, but I don't want any more of the full control bullshit so if that is a requirement then it's a hard pass for me.  

Fitterer is the reason Morgan is here.

With Rhule having final say and without knowing really how much input they've had on personnel decisions it's pretty much impossible to say for sure. I lean pretty heavily toward no unless inside info says this is Rhule's clown show, they've tried to provide good guidance and he's ignored it to do clown show poo.

The trade for Henderson was excellent value. If we had drafted a starting CB in the 3rd round you'd call that a success right?

do we really wanna lose another rising star executive prodigy to another team, especially one with such fond homegrown roots

 

scott fitterer was with Seattle for a while and nobody but us sniffed around him

he was willing to be a subordinate to Matt rhule

he was the battery behind the Sam darnold trade

just clean house

Who was the real trigger man on the Darnold, Mayfield and Henderson trades?  Remember Rule has more pull on the roster decisions than Fitterer, which is crazy.  Even if Fitts didn't like the trades, could he have blocked them or all he could do was try to get the best value out of them when told to acquire these players?

    • Would Morgan or Beason have been HOFers' if injuries hadn't derailed their careers?  I was not a close watcher of the game when Morgan was in his prime but I thought Beason had a few seasons at close to Lukes' level of play.
    • Franchise QBs feast when things are rolling and the tide that raises boats when things are going sideways.  Bryce isn't that. He's a complimentary player, that's it.  When the defense and STs are on point, he plays loose and it shows.  When we are in a dog fight and things haven't gone our way, he struggles.  It's that simple. He's not a horrible QB, but he's not top tier either.  So the question begs, is this worthy of a second contract?  The answer should be no.  It definitely is my answer. Bryce will never be a QB that can produce wins largely on his arm.  That's a FRANCHISE QB, any other QB is simply a placeholder at the starter's position until that guy can be found.   At some point the excuses of lack of weapons will be a straw man.  Heck, it's nearly there now.  I mean if he doesn't look even better than last year will we blame it on the TE position?  'Well if Bryce only had a player like Kelce, Kittle or Gronk on this team...'  Are we really going to do that?  
    • When I arrived at college, I was 18, not too much younger than some of these draft picks.  It was not a huge school, but there were guys on the team who were 21, 22, 23....playing ahead of me.  I was seventh on the depth chart.  Those guys have been through a few seasons, were stronger, more knowledgeable.  I was a better raw player than some of them, but those other factors matter.  As I grew stronger, more familiar with the playbook, and learned what it was like to play in college, I gradually improved and with that, I rose up the depth chart.  It took most of my freshman year for the light to come on.  Had the coach thrown me into the starting lineup day 1, I would have probably failed.    And that was college.  So I agree with you based on my experience on a much lower level.  Frankly, I think that is why so many kids drafted to fill huge gaps bust.  The teams are desperate.  Anyone who looks to fill vacancies in the starting lineup through the draft is desperate.  You draft depth to develop.  For this reason, I say, "Let Walker start for a while."  Maybe Brazzell can be our WR 4.  Throw Hunter into a rotation and ask him to do one or two things.  Freeling needs some strength and he needs to work on run blocking.
