Tepper

 

Because he held onto Hurney after firing Rivera instead of starting clean

Went with Hurney to hire Rhule

 he is the one that hired Fitterer 

 

he’s the one that hired Reich (remember the reports going back to late last fall that Tepper liked experienced HC and why Dan Quinn’s name came up)

he’s the one that was so QB horny that was chasing Watson relentlessly even to the point where he didn’t want to spend the money for guys like Reddick because we needed that money for Watson.   Only to ultimately balk because the price tag on what Watson wanted money wise was too much.

Obviously, I think not having David Tepper as the owner of the franchise would have avoided the most short-term pain. However, as I have said before- I think he is the right guy for the long term once he has the right people around him.

The right decision was to keep Wilks and build off of the success he managed to whittle out of clay and wheat. A full off-season with him would have given this team some success. It has been at least 8 years since I saw a team support their coach as he was by the end of the regular season last year. Now, the emotion is bland and empty again. 

Sure, there were questions about Holcombe leading the defense and everyone on key about having an "offensive minded coach", but you don't fix what isn't broken. I have watched the air leave the team in the past 10 months.

I voted 'other'.

Initially I was ok with not trading Burns after trading CMC but hindsight has me rethinking that.

We should have fully committed to the rebuild with all the picks from that trade. Im still good with the coaching hires and still good with Young, but had we made the Burns trade we probably would have kept DJ Moore and that might be the difference in our record right now.

I don't think Wilks was the magic fix. I think defensively we are better off with the guy we have at DC over Wilks.

I do think Wilks would have not been at 0-4.

      His physical attributes aren't going to change on a new team so I have no idea how he would pan out elsewhere but I can logically assume those issues he has had with processing which was supposed to be his key selling point before the draft would follow him. He was also supposed to be someone who thrives when the play breaks down but he has been inconsistent at best on that and at times horrific. I think where we each take a fork in the road on the determination of Bryce Young currently is you seem to still be treating him as a rookie and not a third year QB still repeating the same mistakes while showing that he has no arm talent to overcome even the slightest bit of adversity. I've said all along his rookie year and his sophomore season that I would be willing to overlook his interceptions if he was pushing the ball downfield consistently and even if he turned the ball over forcing a pass here and there to keep defenses honest I would accept it. But he has nothing. There is no deep passing game here. He threw the ball 55 times in Arizona which was 30 more times than Kyler Murray and only had a little over 100 more passing yards than him. Legitimately you should read that again and ponder it. That is embarrassingly atrocious. Circumstances here are not ideal with the WR's and OL but we cannot normalize this. It is horrendous. And we need to swallow our pride and begin scouting QB's for the 2026 draft. In the meantime this cannot continue on much longer for the sake of the locker room. And the upcoming schedule isn't going to get any better. If there is a silver lining to any of this we are going to find out just who Dave Canales really is throughout the rest of the season. He isn't getting a pass either.
