The coaching staff is a bust… we’re at our lowest point as an organization… but what do you do and who’s your building blocks?

[Waldo]

I see no real core peices, some maybes but nothing guaranteed.

Fire FO people and hire a consultant. Anything less will just be more of the same.

[raleigh-panther]

Great teams have great lines and depth particularly on the oline when drafting a midget.   That should always have been the focus 

EOM

[CamWhoaaCam]

Most of our building blocks are on defense.lol

 

The offense needs a complete makeover besides Bryce of course. Goal #1 should be targeting Tee Higgins in FA. Please do not make anymore foolish trades. If we can get Jeudy for a 3rd that makes sense.

 

Go into next year with Higgins/Jeudy now Bryce has something to work with. We can find a rb off the street that's an upgrade over trash Sanders.

So if I’m Tepper…

I probably fire Fitterer around the bye, have a very pointed conversation with Frank and the front office regarding expectations. Place Morgan as the interim. I instruct him to trade Burns for draft capital and halt any other trades trades that don’t increase draft capital.

I probably let Frank finish the season. It’s already to poo and I don’t think there is a replacement on this roster outside of many Evero. People keep saying Brown but he hasn’t even been a true OC yet. 
 

If Frank finishes the season strong and holds his staff accountable, and has the balls to give the play calling to Brown. Good,  but probably still won’t save him unless he has a hell of second half and makes the post season.

At the end of the season, I clear out the entire coaching staff. No hold overs, no exceptions. I interview Morgan for the GM role but no guarantees. I hire an outside group to help me through the hiring of a GM and Head Coach.

For GM I target somebody who understands the importance of a strong defensive core. Somebody who is committed to rebuilding our corner room even if it means moving Horn and Jackson. Who will go out and get some absolute head hunters at LB. I don’t care how athletic. I want them to be so mean they have to live in a cage and be in restraints on the sideline. I want somebody who understands the importants of a OL and it’s depth, and can find Stewart/Williams type running backs.

For HC I want somebody aggressive but not desperate. Somebody who can establish a physical run game and coaches on the importance of the turnover differential.

I really wouldn’t be opposed to a guy like Harbaugh. IF (big if) Tomlin were to be let go, or Vrabel I would view them as fits. 
 

Although it’s not as exciting we have always been more successful when we have a strong 4-3 defense and an offense dedicated to the run. For some reason, the heavy pass/3-4 defense never works out for us. 
 

 

[Sean Payton's Vicodin]

Yeah there's no real core pieces. This is the worst team in the NFL bar none

I’d be ecstatic with any of those three as HC lmao. Totally agree though. We have to get the run game fixed

Unfortunately these aren't "real jobs" we are talking about here. The owners invest MILLIONS into these guys. They aren't going to give up on them through 5 weeks into the regular season in their first year no matter how emotional this fan base gets. No one is going to want to come coach here and no free agent is going to sign here if that's how you choose to run your team. Give them time to figure it out that is literally the only option.

Except we just did that with Matt Rhule!

 

My goodness people we don't want to keep falling for hope. Frank had his day, the game has simply passed him by. We need to move on. He's had 8 games and still can't buy a win. These playcalls you see it, how do you defend that. The man was still calling underneath routes while we are getting blown out. We signed Chark who is a deep threat yet no deep balls. Bryce struggles are not only on him but the play caller. He's dinking and dunking and it shows with his stats.

 

Frank gotta go. No more longterm plan. He's not the answer now, he won't be then.

[Eazy-E]

We don’t have to pay a QB a huge salary for at least another two to three seasons. (May be longer if Bryce doesn’t work out) If Fitt, Morgan, and Suleiman can’t figure out how to put a competitive team together then they both need to be fired. Imagine if they had work around a 200+ million dollar contract.

Honestly at this point tear town down the entire front office and start from scratch.

[Waldo]

No one on the front office should survive this season.

I understand believe me. Being 0-5 through the first 5 weeks is not a good look no matter who the coach is. I really do think they need more time though. If Rhule got to year 3 I think Reich certainly makes it to year 2 but beyond that will be a question to how we end this year and start next year. If we come out winless through this first few weeks next year I will be fully on board for a reset and I don't think anyone in the NFL would blame us. I just don't see any major changes happening this season. I could be wrong though we'll just have to see

So we hire a new coach and GM come out and lose 2 or 3 games to start the season next year what do you do? Fire them as well? Keep firing coaches until one finally has a hot start? I don't think moving on from Reich or even Fitt this season is a realistic option. Next season though? And we still look like this? Absolutely.

People here want us to be the new Browns where we have 20 different starting QB’s and coaches in a ten year period. It’s the gotta have it now mentality where if you don’t win NOW we just blow it up and keep blowing it up until we have a three game winning streak.
