RB Coach Duce Staley and QB Coach Josh McCown fired

[Daeavorn]

I see this as a good thing. Young has been regressing, badly, so of course McCown gets the axe. Im more concerned with Reich in that he didnt see as big of an issue with this as they did.

Staley is most likely just to get some chefs out of the kitchen.

Chuba isn't really improved over last year. He just seems better because of how bad Sanders has been, but I haven't seen any development from Chuba. He's our best RB but the cupboard is pretty damn thin.

I disagree.  Chuba has looked much improved, particularly in hanging on to the ball both as a runner and as a receiver.

That’s a damn shame. Like salt in the wound if true.

I mean I kind of get it, but the OL coach should have been first if we are firing position coaches. 

I've been saying this for a few weeks now. He's the one that should've been fired by Reich let alone now.

My eye test tells me a lot different.

Hell, people were talking about Chuba being one of our best offensive players yesterday.

You have to throw in Blackshear as well.

Look at our roster and tell me who Chuba being better than is an impressive feat. He could be our offensive MVP this year and it doesn't mean poo, and it definitely doesn't mean he's better than last season. He was very solid last year, decent vision and good at picking up chunk yards. Nothing has changed this year and the stats are no better, maybe even worse, than last year. He has very little flash or big play ability/ability to create yards or positive plays out of nothing, which is why he's at best a backup. I don't know why you're dying on this Duce hill right now, yeah he got a lot of hype for some of those videos coming out of Lions camp. But our RBs have not improved at all with him as RB coach.

My guess is this is to reduce the number of "cooks in the kitchen" and let TB do his thing.

Perfect answer. How about posting where I’m wrong? What about 2023 has he done better than 2022? If you think Staley improves our running game, please point to where Chuba is better. Not hard.

Staley's not the offensive line coach, nor is the offensive line coach the guy that decided to play a scheme who didn't fit our personnel.

Waiting for Fitt to be fired. Nothing else matters at this point.

I get what you're saying, but what would matter is Tepper removing himself from football stuff (just a dream at this point).

I'm betting Fitterer stays then. He seems to be Teppers Yes man.

which is why this is all window dressing...can't get rid of dipper but at least get rid of the wart next to your testicles....if fitt doesn't go...nothing is changing...

Why did we bring in Thomas Brown as OC if hes not capable without help.  Reich called plays for him, now Caldwell has to help him call plays.

Are we sure they let go of the right "cooks" though?

[Martin]

It will be interesting to see what Thomas Brown does now when he has the full freedom to do what he wants. Obviously there are a lot of limitations based on personnel and scheme, but it might actually be a game worth watching.

Wasnt Staley the assistant head coach?  Thats why he had to go.  Too close to Reich to keep him, just like Snow last year.
