I’ll take a retread with proven success over a guy that’s done absolutely nothing in this league. He’s actually unqualified for the job, just like Rhule and Joe Brady were. Let’s call it what it is, another guy they “liked”. And we both know what the fug that means. 

I understand your apprehension due to this being a Tepper hire. But while you're being dramatic let's not pretend like pairing Bryce Young with Mike Vrabel was a guaranteed recipe for success. Either way whomever was hired was always going to have their work cut out for them because we picked the wrong QB and now we're left to salvage what we can.

Well thats kindof my gripe with this hire.  We needed to hire a head coach not someone that can fix bryce.  Can canales do both, maybe but its clear as to why he was hired.

 

I truly hope though that tepper gives him a long runway because I think next year could be brutal

As we've discussed previously the number of highly qualified candidates willing to hitch their wagon to Bryce Young for the foreseeable future was few and far between. They all saw the same things we did regardless of contributing circumstances.

Our best hope is that Canales can channel some level of McVay or Shanahan. I'm not saying I expect it. But for this to work that's what it's going to take.

Yep, that reality hit me about 30 minutes after the announcement.  The timing clearly gave it away.  Not many folks were going to risk their careers working for tepper and being saddled with a historically small qb.

 

Going to be really interesting who he hires as OC

For whatever else you may feel about the hire, it's cool that he's embracing the fanbase.

I will give him until about the 3rd Monday morning sit down with Tepper for that enthusiasm to disappear.

It's more than others have done.*

Seems to be a positive, and recognition by someone in charge aware of needing to win over/back fans.

 (*cough, vs former player keeping the wrong team image on social for months,cough*)

I honestly hope it works, but you do make a point.  A brand new green head coach that was hired to "fix" an undersized qb that had a historically bad season has the potential to go south pretty quickly.

And you can’t even fire him early. This is why once I figured out Bryce probably isn’t the guy that we were going to be 2 head coaches away. The next 2 seasons are already over for us.

You’d be excited to if you talked an old fool into setting you up for life and giving you a job you’re not qualified for

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By rmoneyg35 · Posted

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
