Coaching Interviews: Round Two

[vorbis]

if you believe Rapoport has legit sources within the building, he indicates it's a two candidate race at this point. Wilks and Reich. no Moore.

Yikes. I guess we hope for Reich and that he builds out a coaching tree under him.

I wonder how much longer he wants to coach for?

Wilks will play a boring, pound the football style offense that doesn't work in today's game. He will have a solid defense and a terrible offense. Go 10-24 in his first 2 years and get canned. Save this. Bookmark it. Ya heard it here first. 

Close.

The defense got worse when he took over

[Krovvy]

I'm so disappointed that both Ben Johnson & DeMeco Ryans want nothing to with us. Beyond Harbaugh, they were my top two. Steichen, I suppose, being number three.

I guess out of the bunch that's left Reich would be the next man up. However, it doesn't really excite me and I just don't know how much he has left in the tank.

And the fact that his offenses were good under 3 different QBs

And as Bad as Wentz was there.  He got more out of Wentz last year than Doug Pederson did without Reich.

The Jaguars hiring Doug P seems to have worked out alright. If a retread is all we have to look forward to just hire Reich I guess.

I don’t know if you’ve noticed but it’s already a losing combo. Time to play a different tune. 

Actually you dont have proof yet.  Wilks was 6-6. That’s .500 and not losing.

I take it you don't have old family members who get turned down in the workforce because of their age.

They do this all the time in warehouse jobs like Walmart/Amazon/etc...

 

They choose the younger worker over the older worker every time. They look for longevity in those companies. I know this because my aunt is a supervisor at a WalMart warehouse. They most definitely look at age in warehouse jobs.

I know a amazon manager and he told me the 60 year olds work much harder than the current 20 year olds. Said he looking for more and already got 3...

That’s easy to believe.

This is sort of misleading. Our offense was so bad under Rhule that the opposing teams didn’t need to score more points. Wilks at least had this team scoring more points. Wilks and Snow were both horrible in situational football. Times when the defense could get off the field, we failed miserably with both Snow and Rhule. A good defensive coordinator should get the right personnel and call in for down and distance. You know whether to blitz on passing downs and whether to run blitz on short distances. Wilks should send more corner blitzes if he coaches defense again in the future. We could not get pressure up the middle and our corners could not stick long enough, if your zone fails to get pressure then the zone fails.

To Wilks defense there though.  What else was he supposed to do.

He had what was reguarded as the worst QB room in the NFL 

probably the worst TE room 

and a Below avg WR room.

With a OC off the streets that was about the only one willing to work for Rhule.

 

Did you actually think he was going to sling it around 50 times a game with that?

 

That May be what he wants.  But we never know.  What we do know, he adjusted to his strengths/weaknesses and got it done.

lol no one is turning anyone away from a Walmart/Amazon warehouse job. Those companies hire anyone that apply. You only have to have a pulse and no drugs in your piss.

Well, it's not like it's unheard of to retire in your 60s. Though maybe it's personal bias, coming from my own personal experiences with family slowing down or passing around Reich's age.
