With the exception of DC Meeks and OLC Magazu , we've got the most useless collection of assistant coaches in the league. Nobody's knocking down our door to steal these guys, and not one of them is cut out to be a head coach.

A good example is WRC Richard Williamson. How about this resume: Steve Smith, Muhsin Muhammad, Pat Jeffers, Rocket Ismail, Mark Carrier, Willie Green, Donald Hayes."

Name someone he's developed in the last 6 seasons or so. Only Smith and Muhammad were rookies under Williamson in that list. Also- Pat Jeffers? Rocket Ismail? Donald Hayes? Mediocre at best. We keep feeding this guy 1st and 2nd round picks and he keeps giving us guys that can't run routes or line up properly after 3 years under his tutelage. At some point, you have to start blaming the teacher, not the pupils.

completely disagree - and this goes back to the whole "Fox doesn't have a big coaching tree" argument. Jim Skipper's turned down numerous head coaching jobs in college to stay. Richard Williamson's been a head coach and OC. There's no doubt that Baker and Smith have made a difference at DL and LB, and that's at spots we were already well-coached. Magazu's top notch. Geep Chryst has been an OC and QBs coach - oh, and he invented modern statistical analysis in the league - obviously the mark of a terrible coach - and our TEs have gotten better every year.

Davidson's run offenses have been 12th at worst- his first year with Foster. Since then, top five. Top five is always a good indicator that a coach is terrible.

Jeffers scored 12 TD before he got hurt. Keep in mind - that was one year. 12 TD in a year? Only 12 TD? Guy sucked. I really wish fans would get their head out of their ass and at least attempt to look up what mediocre means.

i have no problem with davidson like most people here seem to. he had an inept QB that made the team 1 dimensional on offense. he had to call passing plays when the team fell behind because passing scores quicker than running. he is not a bad o- coordinator. the only game i felt that he called like crap was the buffalo game, all the other games, I have no problem with.

Would have been nice to hear Davidson-Fox tension brewing over Delhomme. That honestly would have been the best news during our sucky stint

Agree.

For all we know, it could have and may still be going on. The organization is sooo mum about team insider knowledge. It leads us all to this crazy speculation and Scott Fowler writing things. aahhh!!

This thread is a fail. I'll agree that Crossman and Williamson should go, but all the rest deserve to stay.

Skip - Mentoring Four great RB's and a top notch FB. No doubt he'll bring Fiammetta up to speed.

Chryst - We have the most underrated 3-man TE rotation in the league. Any of the three of them could start and thrive.

Gillhamer/Milus - Secondary struggled last year, but improved a TON this year (probably attributable to Meeks)

Magazu - His results speak for themselves. I hope we don't ever lose him.

Smith - We have had a stacked LB core for years, 'nuff said.

Baker - Our D-line was awful last year, improved a lot after he showed up.

Scherer - Too early to tell on him. Jake was too broke to fix. Moore looks good, but who knows if it's because of him? Not any reason to think he can't get the job done.

Both coordinators are aces.

crossman is the only one i think should 100% be replaced this offseason.

williamson...i'm thinking we can and probably should be looking to upgrade there.

everyone else, though...i'm not really crazy about replacing at this point (although i wouldn't be horribly upset at fox leaving as long as everyone else for the most part stayed in place.)

Our special teams have been atrocious for a long time. A much needed upgrade at both the coach and talent level would be appreciated. Especially considering how much we covet field position. Mark Jones was probably the slowest kick returner in the league last year but he got us decent yards which we worked well with.

      Okay gentlemen, REAL talk...

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      Here's the thing. You compared him to Jake. Jake was signed to the practice squad out of college. Bryce was the number 1 overall. Their expectations are wildly different and so are their contracts. You can talk all you want about what a player is and where they are now and all this other mumbo jumbo, but Jake never had a 5th year option and we weren't talking about the possibility of a top 5 QB contract extension at the end of his 3rd year. What he was expected to be matters because we invested heavily at a cost of future capital, including a 2nd round pick this year, for him to be that guy. The cost to add Bryce took value from the team. To be worth it, he has to add that value back.  Actually, I don't prefer yards, TDs, or only INTs. All those stats by themselves are misleading which is why I said you have to use a lot of different stats. ADOT - Average depth of target.  Completion %. Pretty obvious until you factor in ADOT. 0-5 has a lot higher C% than 10-15%. Hang time. If a pass is in the air for 4.6 seconds vs 3.1 on a 40 yards throw, that gives a DB a lot of time to correct. Is it a loft or is it a laser.  EPA - Expected points added. A way of measuring QB efficiency on every play.  CPOE - ranking pass completions based on several factors, not just the throw.  There's obviously more, but those are the more common.  Typical stats don't show everything. You need to look all over. Looking at a stat line is lazy. That's why I said, you need to analyze everything. Once you start looking at the numbers you start looking at the player. That's why you follow numbers. They lead you places. You look at what happening when the numbers show you patterns. That's where you start finding the problems that yards, TDs and Ints won't show you.

      ESPN guys talk Bryce fifth year option

      It's not relevant who wins or loses. It's about actually attempting to get better at the position.

      Bryce might be the most frustrating player we've ever had.

      Thank you. I don't understand how the Bryce stans don't see this. I've never seen a player get more hyped for doing so little. Honestly it's driving me a little insane.
