Our play calling has been nothing short of idiotic. I wish we could hire and then re-fire Frank and Beans. At one point we had 4 receivers all running long hook routs at the same time, and this while it was clear the o-line was giving up a lot pf pressure. Frank was one of the dumbest coaches ever.

If I were a coach on the team I would have wanted to bench Young as well to try and keep my job. Dalton is clearly the better QB, and each loss pushes hot head Tepper closer to firing coaches. Yeah put Dalton in would have been my mantra.

Yup.  Reich couldn't win with the rookie and couldn't bench him either.  Frank was in a no win situation...as I stated numerous time.

Frank couldn’t win with the rookie because he did a terrible job. I think anyone else would have had a better record than 1-10 at this point. His scheme and personnel decisions were baffling to everyone. A lot of assumptions here that the dysfunction stemmed from Tepper, but I think even more of it was on Frank.

Question, would our record have been 1-10 if Dalton started the last 5 games?  Again, the man was in a no win situation.  Tepper wouldn't let him bench Bryce an Bryce isn't NFL ready.

Yeah Johnson isn't coming here, lol

Nor will any good HC candidates.

Sometimes the money isn't worth it. We have the most difficult owner in the NFL. Why subject yourself to that as a HC? Only guys like Reich who are on their last hurrah would be interested in one more cash grab. You aren't going to see good young head coaching candidates come here. You might see some Nathaniel Hackett's.

IDK if I would even say that Bryce isn't NFL ready. He just isn't ready to lead a team that is as poorly built and coached as this. Most rookies would struggle in this scenario.

I have been saying for a few weeks now we should bench him. There is absolutely ZERO benefit to rolling him out there every week to fail. We are just going to ruin the guy we traded all that capital for. 

Dalton will be marginally more successful and there is no downside to him being in a shitty situation. He's at the end of his career. We aren't going to ruin him.

100% agree and I've been saying this as well.  Dalton is collecting easy money holding a clipboard and while we would still not be a good team with Dalton, a win here and there does wonders for moral--the team and fans.

Yeah and we aren't protecting anyone's draft capital but the Bears.

This is about as much of a win-win situation as we are going to get at the moment.

Or otherwise...

Mentioned in another thread that I could see Tepper offering the GM job to Browns executive Catherine Raiche, not necessarily because she's the best candidate (she may or may not be, I don't know) but because it would make headlines and help him look like a hero. Hiring an analytics type rather than a traditional personnel guy could also be an option.

The same could be true of somebody like Eric Bieniemy. I don't really expect he'll be the best candidate available in the next cycle, but he could conceivably be one that would take the job. And then Tepper could crow about being the person who finally offered him the head coaching job people think he deserves.

Tepper absolutely strikes me as someone who'd be willing to take a short term "feel good" bump for hiring someone, even if it meant getting a person who wasn't really the best option 😕

      25-26 NHL Regular Season Thread

      By Stumpy · Posted

      Great article on all the Lil Canes attending their debutantes ball. Walt with a great breakdown of all the rookies, as always, and I'm a huge fan of his team coverage, he is truly a treasure, but as a fan of mixed metaphors and superfluous language which some might ignorantly refer to as a "run-on sentence" I never really understood what that mean or where to put the comma after a quote in the middle of a sentence, but holy poo Walt, this is a gem, "While there's a long road left in front of them left to determine whether or not they'll have that same success on the blue line again, the beginning stretch of the journey has been thrown a wrench, and the story on defense has been the emergence of up-and-comers forced into becoming lineup regulars." , bravo, take a bow, sir!

      Canes vs Rags 7pm

      By Stumpy · Posted

      When the broadcast showed the two benches side by side during the last TV timeout, it was pretty obvious the whole operation is a shitshow. If I was the owner, I would play that clip, with commentary, on the jumbotron at MSG as I fired the coach, GM, President, the whole lot. Bring in your AHL leadership team, wholesale, to finish out the season and start from scratch next year.  Can't fire all the players and fold the season. But, hopefully decapitating the zombie will light a fire under the body and burn out the cancer of the roster. (It makes sense if you don't think about it...) There are obviously issues on the roster. But, you can't have the entire coaching staff completely tuned out with 5 minutes left in a 2 goal game this early in the season. And you can't trust the people that hired them to hire the next staff. If you trust your AHL GM/Scouts, let them run the deadline firesale.   ...     Please don't let the owner read any of this. Because, this poo is hilarous!
