Tepper and firing NFL coaches (trend)

David Tepper now oversees his 3rd coach. Both prior to Reich were fired in season.  Both fired after home losses. 

Next game up is a home game.  Against a team we should get blown out by.  Stadium always is full of Dallas fans even in a competitive season.  Tepper is going to look down from his box seat and see a sea of Cowboy fans cheering. Loudly.  They will be disruptive when we are on offense.  And he will see Frank Reich booed and booed loudly.  I said last year I thought BOA would be the barometer in determining when Rhule would get the axe he was destined to get.  If next game goes poorly, I think Tepper is unable to fight the patience he is attempting.  BOA will seal Frank’s fate.  Tepper won’t be able to handle it.  That’s my guess. 

*I think Frank said he hasn’t talked to Tepper yet in his presser.  Only coaches in.  Players a long weekend.  Still wouldn’t be shocked for some small Tepper influenced shakeup to some level happening.

The only person it makes sense to fire right now is Fitterer.  You fire Reich now and you greatly damage your ability to bring in coaches.  It says to every coach - "You get half a season and if it's not working you're gone".  Coaches aren't dumb.  They can see that this is becoming a bad place to be a coach.

If you want to fire Fitterer, do it.  Clean it out.  And then hire a consultant to find your next GM.  No Tepper involvement at all aside from writing the check.

After the season, let your GM and another consultant decide if it's time for Reich to go.

If this is just Tepper doing Tepper things, it's pointless.  It won't change the course of this season.  It won't make us look any better by the end of it.  Even if our problems are schematic and coaching, you don't fix that mid season.

My man HCs where turning us down this past off-season. Firing Frank does nothing. We suck as a franchise that will turn HCs off.

 

Tepper needs to offer Jim Harbaugh full control. It's the only correct hire. He keeps hiring yes men and this is why we will continue to suck. Wilks was not a yes man and Tepper let him go despite the players vouching for him.

Why would you bring in an interim coach before Dallas?

no one is going to accept a blindfold and a cigarette. 

The post says the blowout loss to Dallas and the vibe in BOA will make Tepper fire him like everyone else.    So after the Dallas game.

Tons of guys would be willing to be interim.  It’s actually not a bad spot to make yourself look good.  See Wilks last year.  Nowhere to go but up.  And frankly it shouldn’t be hard to instantly go to a traditional rush attack and play action game and make the team better then they presently are. Play to the OLs strength.  Your RBs strength.  And it would help WRs get open.

Does firing a GM send any better message when the league wide perception is that you influenced the top draft pick?

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
