Fitterer setting low expectations.

[Mr. Scot]

As to expectations, if you're going into this season having any at all, it's probably a mistake.

This is a total reboot with a new staff, new quarterback and everything. Who knows what the first season will look like?

Me? I don't care.

I just want to see progress that builds toward next season.

That's when expectations can really start.

He may not have earned the head coaching job here,

But he did. What exactly did he do that was not positive?  He didn't get the job because they wanted a younger offensive mind from day one. He was never given an actual chance to get the job short of blowing out every single opponent he faced. Like I said, giving him false hope was another stupid Tepper move.

The only reason he is DC in SF right now is because Tepper gave him a chance to show what he had. The guy isnt HC material, I didnt even care for him as our DC under Ron. Before he was brought onto Rhules staff he had been out of the NFL since 2019 and was a DC at missouri, not quite a dream job.

For one, he was committed to a DC who was more of an old friend than a good coach.

Wilks did a great job in the short term. I'm not convinced he would have worked out long term though, especially after seeing some of those late season games against better teams.

I don’t know if they gave him false hope. They liked him but wanted to see who else was out there. I think that was made clear.

Regardless, Wilks with Holcomb and whoever else at OC was not the best plan for developing a rookie QB. Frank came in with specific names of coordinators he’d bring in (according to Fitt) which ultimately is what won him the job.

Just because it has never happened does not automatically mean it can't. Peyton was 3-13. Well Peyton was on a crappy team. This is not a crappy team.

 

If Bryce even sniffs OROY, this team is fighting for the Playoffs.

 

What I'm hearing is a bunch of people that would rather be "Realistic" and right. Then "Optimistic" and wrong. Play scared and you lose. What does a fan lose by being optimistic? And why does being optimistic seem to scare so many of you?
