Dick Vermeil  comes to mind... Situation sounds similar.. Frank ain't no Vermeil tho... of course he coached St.Louis and Kansas City...

"Vermeil began his NFL head coaching career in 1976 with the Philadelphia Eagles, taking over after the team went 4–10 the previous year.[6] Due to past trades by the Eagles, Vermeil's teams did not have a first-round draft pick until 1979"

Vermeil built a hell of a staff in Saint Louis. He had a good number of former head coaches working for him.

This is why I don’t think we will fire Reich until about a month into next season.

Young coaches know this, they aren’t going to bet their HC career that they’ve been working their whole lives towards, on Bryce and this awful roster.

Why fire Reich to just hire a 3rd rate option to replace him?

You have to wait until after next season, when we have our 1st round pick again and a new coach can replace Bryce with their own guy.  It’s the only way we can try and get someone with potential to be a quality long time HC.

For being such a fan of Tshimanga Biakabutuka, you'd think you'd wanna have at least some semblance of patience with a first-round pick.

Biakabutuka’s problems had nothing to do with his skill or ability, which he regularly would flash when healthy enough to stay on the field.

Bryce just isn’t good, he has had literally 2 or 3 plays where he showed even above average potential, but don’t think I’ve seen a single play that said “he could be elite” because he flat out doesn’t have the physical traits needed for that.

he’s a bust, the sooner people accept it, the quicker we can get past him

      I have more faith in XL improving than I do in Tmac being a true number 1 recuever

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.
