Tepper and firing NFL coaches (trend)

Recommended Posts

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?

    • MORGAN ON PLAY CALLER FOR CANALES   "I think that's really his [Canales'] call," he stated. "I think if he wants to promote somebody into being the play-caller or bring somebody from the outside. We haven't really talked about that. But that is something that I'm sure we'll talk about. We talk about every decision together. If he feels like he needs to add somebody or promote somebody into being the play-caller, then I trust him."  
    • Dude, he cannot see the field, when his feet are not set he throws ducks.   What the fug are you watching?
    • I'm looking at the final drive, and that's where I'm laying the blame at Bryce's feet. Stepping up to the line, 38 seconds left, 3 time outs on the clock. 30 yards needed to attempt a FG. It's not Bryce's job to call the plays, that's DC's and it was terrible play calling.  It's Bryce's job to read what the defense is giving him at the line. The middle of the field is open. Rams are guarding against the deep ball and bringing pressure leaving the middle of the field ripe for the taking. Knowing his line not holding up for long, Bryce should have read the defense, called the audible, and thrown to the middle of the field for 6- 8 yards, like you said, quick slants would have worked. Then run either hurry up or call a TO. We had time. He has to make the adjustments. Any QB has to make the adjustments.  The pass Horn dropped hit his hands but was at his knees. Should he have slid and caught it? Probably. Was the pass a good one? No it wasn't. Both players were at fault, not just Horn. Let's not pretend that Bryce threw a beautiful pass that hit the receiver chest high right in the hands in perfect stride because that damn sure wasn't the throw.  The defense didn't choke away a lead. They never had a real lead. Choking away a lead is being up by multiple scores late in the 4th and losing. We were up by 4 and handed the ball back to a potential MVP with an All pro WR and potential future HoF WR2. One score games in the 4th are a slug fest. 28-3. That's choking away a lead.  I don't solely blame Bryce for the game, but you seem to solely blame the defense for the game because they went to prevent after losing Horn. You are forgetting the short field that the offense left them that led to the early Puka TD on one of our 2 failed 4th down conversions. Our defense has been given very limited resources over the past 3 years while we have tried to put everything possible around Bryce. We added a little bit to the D this year after giving up a NFL record in points last year. Our defense overachieved based on what they've been given to work with.
