Steve Smith on the firings

Well they all seem to be in agreement and quoting defensive coordinators that Frank Reich has been painfully predictable and the entire league knows what we are doing.   And unless you have a roster of all pros you will simply lose in the NFL if that is what you are.

Wolfe makes a decent point about how it has taken a lot of owners a long time to “get it”. People forget that.  49ers fired 3 coaches in 24 months before Kyle Shannahan.  But they are used as an example of an org that “gets it” and people act like that wasn’t part of the path. 

Jed York was in the exact same situation before he hired Lynch and Shanahan, and told them that he would just let them do their thing but this only works if you hire the right pair. 
 

I would start with Adam Peters

And they keep circling back to just how trash Frank was.   So much tied to his poo and predictable O.  They essentially say everyone sees it that knows football.  Referenced when it was called out in the 3rd quarter last week during the game. It has a lot to do with the OL getting destroyed.  Frank sets it up for implosion.

Yeah, I think if Tepper actually hired a good HC….it would be much easier to stay uninvolved.    

I really hope he fires Fitt, hires a firm to go get him a HC/GM pairing for the 2024 version of the NFL with  a vision and stays out of it for a couple years.

Since smitty got on the payroll, Ive basically stopped listening. 

Dam shame cause I enjoyed most of his takes. I even remember he was on an island about some white WR named kupp being the best WR in the draft....

Well, 89 referenced that narrative.  So he is at least aware tha people view it that way.   Given the 89’s style and wealth (and present earnings)  I doubt a little check from Tepper has turned him into his lapdog 

I think it’s possible 89 doesn’t trash Tepper because he probably would behave similar lol and just agrees with that style of management.

Didn’t he flat out say he isn’t on their payroll in an earlier podcast?

    • The league would protect him.  The amount of poo Jerry Jones has had exposed and got away with?  The amount of poo Stephen Ross has got away with?  How long Dan Snyder got away with essentially fuging sex trafficking employees and poo???????  Taking down JR was a hit job.  You think the other 31 owners, especially the older ones aren’t blathering, blatant, ignorant ass, bigoted rich racists who have committed far worse things than Blue Jean Fridays?  The ones I named above have DEFINITELY did worse than what JR was accused of.  And do you think guys like Steve Smith would’ve been viewing him as a father figure if they felt that’s who he was?  JR pissed the league off with that last lockout situation and they made him pay.  They lined a new guy up to join their billionaire boys club in Tepper, and they prolly slid a pretty penny to Jonathan Jones to write the “expose,” to get JR out of here.  Again, all the owners I’ve listed above have been verified on record for doing worse poo, yet they’re still running their organizations, unquestioned.  They hand-picked Tepper long before JR was forced out, so he isn’t going anywhere.  Sadly.  fug the NFL.  (Also, to be clear, it’s always fug racism, bigotry, and sexual exploitation - not ever excusing it.  Just making the point that the NFL isn’t operating under this clear standard of justice applied to each and every case)
    • I was still in the throes of a contentious divorce and my job at the time had me work on Sundays.  At the beginning of the season I tried to still work around Sundays so I could see our games.  I think after Bryce came back from the benching, I said fug it.  First time in my life I intentionally didn’t watch our games, even through the Atlanta finale.  In the past, even if we didn’t live up to expectations, I would watch to still support and at least analyze player development, strengths and weaknesses, coaching, etc., but Bryce makes all of that a moot point, so I stopped watching. Again, this is asinine,  it if he is retained (still can’t believe this is even a possibility of a conversation due to how shitty our organization has become under Tepper), I will NOT watch next season until he is gone.
