With the Masterclass course Fitt has been putting on, shows how inept Rhule was

[run-run-pass-punt]

I think I mentioned it once before, but the tandem of Fitt and Reich just screams synergy to me. They both seem to genuinely want to land on best-consensus without the interference of heavy ego and drawing lines in the sand about :

That harmonious collaboration should result in good things.

Let’s not crown him just yet. Wins will tell the story. I’m too gun shy after the past 5 years to give anyone credit until they earn it.

 Look at the body of work Fitt has done in one off season versus when he has to deal with an imbecile who had final say on personnel

Rhule had a mysterious sway over him.He was some kind of football spingolly...

Celebrating small victories in player management.

The fact we went into FA without having to guess how many former Rhule players would be making the roster this year was a relief.

I like the moves being made on paper but we gotta see how they translate to the field.

This all day. Folks have been hyping Fitterer from day one. That's all well and good but now is his time to validate that. It's going to take 1-2 seasons to truly assess the results.

[Icege]

It will be interesting seeing how many people give credit where credit is due to Fitterer instead of trying to tie the albatross that was Rhule around his neck. When Rhule signed it was made clear that he had total control (right down to what was posted on social media by the marketing department). Still, that didn't stop a lot of fans from trying to put that at Fitt's feet as well.

I'm very interested to see how much Fitterer adapts to this current coaching staff. We'll get to see what the consistencies are and be able to better determine what Fitterer values while also getting a cross-sectional look into what Reich is looking for as well.

Going to be a fun few seasons!

big fan of his

 

especially since he is a fellow nervous speaker and hes gotten so much better

 

all my fantasy team name is "FittMagic"

I sincerely just hate stubborn loyalty to where it becomes a fault. We saw it a lot with Rivera and (initially, honestly I thought Rhule was proactive) Rhule became masterclass of “the answer is so obvious but I won’t adjust”. Hopefully (and I think it’s probable) Reich makes sensible adjustments.

 

Also just realized our last 3 coaches last names begin with the letter R.

[FugginPoo]

I suspect internally Rhule was being told by others in the org on adjustments needed and since that didn’t come from him in his insecurity he refused to make changes.  We know this as fact on the defensive side and watched it play out with Wilks

I think you're a tad bit premature with this thread.

Let's see how the FAs do. Not to mention the QB pick - who absolutely cannot be anything but fantastic, or Fitterer should be fired. 

I agree. I am hoping we draft the right guys and I think we did a decent job of plugging holes but the Chark, Thielin and Hurst threads make me feel like we signed AJ Brown and Kelce.

We’ve gotta lot more to do and I don’t feel like any of the FA weapons are long term options and I’ll be honest, I’m not sold on Marshall. I’m not sold on a guy with 1 career TD that came when we were down 42-7 and Cincy cleared their benches.

We still need to do way better than Fitterer has done in the draft so far. Don’t give me the it was all Rhule either because even in this thread Fitterer is still getting full credit for the OL build, can’t have it both ways. He can turn me into a fan by actually hitting it in the draft. Iky and Horn were 6th and 8th and Horn’s injuries have really hurt us. Beyond that, we have one OK, but replaceable starter in two drafts, which is about as Hurney as you get. We need more from our picks.
