Ron is a good guy with bad timing on ownership changes. That’s probably 75% of the reason he’s on the hot seat like that.

I'd say being 22-27 as HC in Washington has a lot to do with it.

He's 98-90 overall as a HC. Prime Cam and Luke were the sources of most of his success. In the games he's coached without those guys his record is basically hideous.

Or he kinda sucks as a head coach

I can't say that he sucks, but I can say that he's been his own limitation for a long while. Hiring Bienemy was something that I'd have never expected out of Ron.

Can't help but wonder if he's looking at this season as potentially his last one if things don't go well. Surviving cancer, making it to the ranks of head coach, and making it to the Super Bowl is a successful career by any stretch (let alone earning x2 COTY awards). He belonged in the NFL as a head coach and I'm happy to have seen him achieve it. At this point, the only folks that hold any type of ill will towards him from what I seen are people that were fans of specific players on the roster rather than the team itself.

It'll be interesting to say the least. That Washington roster is a lot stronger than folks might realize.

Ron seems like a legitimately good person. Anyone holding any ill will against him as a person is being ridiculous. But as a head coach? Let's be honest, there's plenty to critique. Dismissing that by questioning the fandom of others is just being dishonest.

Yeah I’ve seen no one wishing ill will towards Ron. He can stabilize a franchise and get them mid-tier with periodic playoff appearances. That appears to be his ceiling. A lot fans just want/expect more from the HC of their favorite team which is definitely reasonable. Ron is a great DC and as you already mentioned a great person.

Ron had an MVP QB and a DPOY on the other side of the ball and couldn't manage back to back winning seasons. IMO, Ron was basically an average coach with some generational talents on his roster. His track record without those generational talents is pretty bad.

Raiders can't afford to fire McDaniels. I mean that literally. His contract is too much, from my understanding the Raiders financially can't fire him until the 24-25 season. 

also, Shanahan should be much higher on that list than he is. Saleh too.


lastly, based on some of the Huddle ... Reich should be at the top of the list for not winning a game this preseason.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By strato · Posted

      I was watching a YouTube and it was said that scout and GM insider types were saying the NIL had killed rounds 4-7. I don’t know that I buy it, seems like it might for a year or maybe two but then those guys have to move on.  NCAA is apparently about to give 5 years of eligibility. It is gonna skew those entrants older maybe.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that.

      I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
