He seemed very irritated about this because he brought it up multiple times but kept saying that’s not a reason you let a coach go. Then proceeded to talk about it again. Sounds like it struck a nerve of his

I watched it too, I didn’t get the impression Fitterer is on the hotseat. He seemed to be indirectly blaming the personnel problems (probably mainly the QBs) on Rhule. And the irritated tone at the end came from Fowler asking if he just rolled out of bed that morning and decided on a whim to fire Rhule [“on a whim” is my addition]. Definitely made it clear that he is familiar with Fowler’s work and doesn’t appreciate either his past words or the implication from the question.

One thing I want to mention, which I haven't seen mentioned here yet, though I haven't read through all the threads yet, Ed Foley was also fired, who was also another of Rhule's guys.

Yeah, there was a thread but it wasn't clearly stated in the title.  But yeah, it seems like Wilks was just sitting back biding his time and watching these idiots falling over themselves pretending to be coaches.  I know he couldn't wait for the opportunity.

I dont think player wise, the team is that far away.  They have been forced into a college vanilla playbook and never bought into it because it was dumb.  The same players playing an NFL scheme will play better because their skill sets will match up better and will be put into a position to make plays.  Also, Mayfield, doesnt fit Mcadoo at all.  Mayfield cant do the dink and dunk offense because hes short thus the batted balls.  Hes a gunslinger, he has better success when he has time to throw the ball down field.

Why not give Nick Foles a chance? He’s got at least 12” on Baker.

The more I reflect on this thread and his presser, I feel excited about Wilks' opportunity and what he can do with this roster under his leadership, but man, I feel really hopeless about Tepper.  The overall tone of the presser was angry and somber, and he transposed a ton of hopelessness himself.  It was pretty disconcerting.  When you take offense to answering for your failures instead of owning all of them (not some of them) and offering possible solutions, that doesn't make me feel very encouraged about your leadership.  Much of his answers for solutions were generic, throwaway, very disassociated statements...

Yeah why was he even bringing up concerts and a soccer team as "wins" or whatever? He's more concerned about constantly profiting off the stadium than anything

Well Tepper is a billionaire, most people he deals with probably bend over backwards to kiss his ass. This presser is probably the reason he put off firing Rhule for so long and hoping for something to magically click. 

He finally had to eat crow.

    • PFF has it's uses for certain position groups but it shouldn't be seen as gospel. Sometimes you just have to look at what you're seeing with your own two eyes.
    • Also, this post is EXACTLY what I wanted to move on from Bryce this offseason and sign Jameis. Because he'd be slinging the ball all over the field and it would expedite the growth of all our young pass catchers, which to me, regardless of our record, would have made for a "winning" season.  We all want our long term franchise QB, but if you can't get that, expediting the improvement of the rest of your roster is a solid consolation prize given the state of our franchise.
    • You are correct that context matters. Let's look at the timing of those six (I accidentally counted one of Etienne's previously) runs of 10+ 11-yd run | Q2 10:43 (0 - 17) 14-yd run | Q2 9:49 (0 - 17) 25-yd run | Q2 1:47 (7 - 17) 53-yd run | Q3 14:53 (13 - 17) 43-yd run | Q4 9:09 (20 - 17) 16-yd run | Q4 4:31 (27 - 24) Q1 the offense basically walked onto the field and then immediately off thanks to Bryce's turnovers, but that's the only quarter that Dowdle didn't rip off a 10+ yard run. I think that's also where folks are basing most of their frustration... because Q1 was straight cheeks. By the half though, it was 10 - 17 with the Panthers set to get the ball to start the half. That's not a situation to get desperate and start flinging it everywhere. Though not exactly related to the topic, I do have to give Evero credit where credit is due. There were halftime adjustments made that resulted in the Dolphins not being able to mindlessly abuse the defense over the middle. That's not even mentioning how they completely stuffed the Miami run game in the second half as well.
