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

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.

 

Yeah completely understood but sometimes that growth does take time to manifest itself. Of course it's a balance with no exact answer -- no team these days is going to give a coach 5 losing seasons and a .500 season before finally winning (like Tom Landry) on that extreme end of the long leash spectrum. But 11 games is really just too short of a time to properly evaluate a coach. I didn't like the idea of getting Reich in the first place and obviously he's sucked so I'm happy we're moving on, but sending a message to candidates that the leash can be that short just isn't good. Maybe it won't wind up mattering and we can land Ben Johnson or whoever but we probably should've waited until after the season. I'd also have considered just keeping Reich and Bryce next year to give them a last chance to turn things around or alternatively (more likely) be some excellent tank commanders for our '25 pick. '25 would be a better time to hire a coach for this franchise too.

 

This team since Tepper took over has been simultaneously rebuilding and trying to compete and flip flopping between the two, which has us in this terrible limbo of suck. In years where we should be rebuilding we've traded away draft capital for win-now players like Gilmore, and then Tepper decides we have huge expectations and want to compete immediately this year, after having just traded away DJ and McCaffrey -- who would probably be our 2 best players on the entire team right now if they were still here (maybe Brown has an argument over DJ, but no other player is in the discussion). Just further evidence of Tepper having no idea what he's doing

      Not sure who said it first, but Tepper is the correct answer. Still, I'm gonna go with Kasay keeping it inbounds. If, you subscribe to the butterfly effect version of time travel consequences.... When we win SBXXXVIII everybody's lives change: Moose never breaks his leg, We win it all again in 05. Tommy Jone is unknown and Peppers stays home, Champs once more 2008. No artificial pig heart turning JR into a creepy weirdo, no lockout, no Clausen. Fox and Jake ride off into the sunset on their own terms. No 2-14, no #1 pick. But, no laptop, no Blinn, 3 years behind The Golden Calf of Bristol, we still get Cam. JR let's him grow his locs like he always wanted, Smitty sees Cam in a new light. Dreads swinging, (and Smitty with his 3 Lombardis behind him) Cam is old enough to get those calls. No Manning narrative, Cotchery TD, PI against Talib on Philly Brown, 10,000 RTP calls and Kony Ealy SB50 MVP. No Jeans Fridays, no Tepper. KB doesn't slip on his own meatsweat mid-route in SD, Cam becomes the 1st QB to win 10 straight SBs. Retiring after being elected 47th president of the US of A, Cam ushers in the Permanent Proletarian Revolution across the globe, Xi Jinping bows in awe. "ẄøŘƙƐṛ§ őF ŧĤə ŵØRłð, ŮŊÏŦƐ!!!"

      I mean not surprised the Patriots took him in and aren't trying to push him out. They've been the most morally bankrupt team in the NFL for a long while. Wouldn't be surprised if Vrabel has his own dirt on Kraft/Brady and other assholes from that organization over the last couple decades.
