Serious question: what HC candidate in their right mind would want to come here?

This idea of him being too impulsive is overplayed around here and a narrative that really isn't born in fact.

Tepper was arguably too patient with Ron, too patient with Hurney, too patient with Rhule, and probably too patient with Fitt.

The one football coach that he fired quickly won one game out of this first 11.  Also has an offense that is ranked 29th in the league and defense that is ranked 30th. NFL Football Stats - NFL Team Points per Game | TeamRankings.com

Any coach that doesn't want to come here because he expects job security after being that bad isn't a coach that we need.

Why?

He fired the coach.  The report was leaked to media before the front office could meet with the  players.  They were on their phone and saw the reports.

This doesn't mean anything.   Tepp has sucked as an owner but this is nothing.

It means he's unprofessional.

That's on top of all the things we already know.

What was the alternative?  Tepper didn't leak the report.

 

A)  Fire Tepper in front of the team so they both find out together (Hell no)

B) Tell the team they are firing him before they tell him

 

There is nothing unprofessional at all.

I get the sentiment but sometimes it does take time to implement systems, get players on board and most importantly, get the right players on the roster. Whatever HC takes over next year is inheriting a group of largely mediocre players without a single legit "star" on the team. No one on this team on either side of the ball is irreplaceable. I can't think of another team for which that is true. A good HC should be able to do better than Reich has done with whoever the players are, yes. But that said this team needs a full rebuild and there will need to be lower expectations because of that.

Would anybody be surprised if whatever coach we hire next year is fired because of a 3-11 start to the season? Or a 2-15 season? Andy Reid started 3-11 his first year in Philly and Jimmy Johnson went 1-15 his first year with Dallas. Plenty of HC candidates understand the reality that it takes time to build a team that will have sustained success. We've seen a handful of coaches come in right away and start winning/make the playoffs but many of them fizzle out. Most of the HCs that have had staying power had some early struggles. Sure there are some exceptions but those are mostly guys who took over for highly successful teams where the HC retired rather than crappy teams where previous coaches were fired, like our situation.

The issue was not the winning/losing IMO.  It's that there has been 0 growth.  It's actually gotten worse as the season went on.  No potential to build on.

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      This draft is 2023 all over again, it's not hard to see. QB's who don't grade out as high first round prospects while at the same time, the following draft class looks to be loaded with elite QB prospects. Drafting a QB just because you need one (or making a bad trade to make said draft pick), when there isn't one worthy of that draft pick, is how you ruin franchises, just look at us right now.

      I upgraded to the S24+ a few weeks back. Very happy with it.

      LOL... Yet again proving you can't look below anything than what you see on the surface Mock drafts ARE NOT draft grades They are what people think will happen.  They are mocking teams taking QB's in the top 5 of the draft because that's just historically how drafts go regardless of the grades on the QBs.  Almost every draft expert, even those mocking QB's going high, have said time and time again that none of these QB's actually grade out as those type of picks. This is again, where I say you don't like to actually read what I have to say, because I already explained it. 2022 the exact same thing happened, mock drafts had guys like Pickett and Willis going in the Top 5 because that's just what teams usually do, but GM's listened to their prospect grades and knew they weren't worth taking that high, so they didn't. It's not to say QB's won't go that high this year, but it's to say that they aren't graded out as elite QB prospects.   And yes, I've never said I'm not a T-Mac homer. But me being that doesn't change that he will be the highest graded offensive player in this year's draft, at a position we haven't been able to solve since we lost Smitty.  Taking him makes all the sense in the world, my bias aside.
