The only reason it's logical to promote an assistant or coordinator to HC is if the system in place already works great (See: Colts, Jim Caldwell), otherwise, for the most part it's like replacing a system that doesn't work with its slightly different and potentially uglier bastard child.

Recent examples? Oakland's trying it with Tom Cable, and they aren't getting anywhere. Seattle tried it with Mora Jr, failed miserably, took them only a year to figure out he wasn't the guy. San Fran is a 3 ring circus and Mike Singletary is a ringmaster on mescaline. Tampa Bay is average at best and only started 2-0 because they pretty much had the easiest schedule of any team in the league from week 1 to week 2.

A new coaching staff is like a fresh slate. In most cases, the last guy was fired/let go because the old system wasn't working. Just bumping up one of his subordinates is a half-assed effort and in most cases just gives you more of the same.

Besides, within our coaching staff we have nobody who's impressive enough to take that spot. None of the units look really good, even defense.

i think we need a new coaching staff top to bottom. even the commentators of the last game talked about how simple our defense was. no disguising blitzes, etc.... QB's know what they are going to get each play. makes it too easy to audible at the line so as much as i liked meeks, he's really nothing special when you break it down.

fire fox, hire new head coach, let him evaluate who he wants to keep but most likely he'll bring in his own guys.

We need to purge the entire coaching staff and start from scratch if we really want to start the rebuilding process. Get some fresh blood in there and a change of philosophy that the players can believe in, kind of like Fox did back in 2002.

All new coaching staff and new philosophy!

Wouldn't it be nice to have an offense that carries the team just once? An offense that can outscore the other team no matter what the defense does or doesn't do?

not gonna happen, but it would be nice...

Meeks is a fine DC... the problem with the complexity of our defense is that we have a slew of young players playing positions that helps with that, so the defense isn't very complex atm. It will improve as time goes on, just as last year I think.

No Meek's defenses aren't complex ever. They rely on people being in the right place making plays and flying to the ball to limit YAC and big plays. he relies on the line to get pressure and the linebackers to limit the run and DBs to limit the passes. It is a very simple defense which isn't disguised at all. When we got better last year was when Harris came back and we used more cover 1 rover. Problem is that Godfrey is improving but he still is no Chris harris in terms of knowledge and understanding.

Just because they are a coordinator for this team doesn't mean they wouldn't be successful as a head coach..

Also, what makes you think that coach would run the same system as Fox?

Sure, Meeks will most likely keep the defense in tacted but could bring someone over from Indy to help offensively.

      A lookback at Morgan's first draft

      By toldozer · Posted

      Tepper makes the wrong decision in literally every case. It's laughable at this point. It is as hard as getting every single decision right. Give me one example of one thing he's got correct in 8 fuging years. It's no surprise that promoting the assistant GM that worked for the worst GM that I've ever seen was a mistake. This goes all the way back to insisting that Ron run a 3-4 and the defense goes to complete poo and we suck. That decision in my opinion cost us 3 or 4 more seasons of the greatest middle linebacker to ever do it.

      Highest rate of incompletions due to WR error

      Currently Cam and Bryce have the exact same career completion percentage at 59.9. The differences in their play/career arcs are immense, however.

      Dan Orlovsky on Bryce Young

      By bandu · Posted

      LOL we have been talking about fixing Bryce Youngs footwork for almost 3 years now.if his footwork has shown little to no improvement in that amount of time then you might have to come to the realization while at the same time using a little common sense it's not natural to Bryce Young with his small stature/ size to step up in the pocket plant his feet & drive the ball from the back leg to the front leg while remaining stable.no instead you see BY becoming easily overly excited & then as a result starts alot of unessary scrambling & hopping around & maybe it's not necassirly he is scared all the time & it has more to do with his height & he is trying to find the right angles for visual purposes whatever it is he  puts himself in a position where he cannot stay balanced when he throws the ball & anytime you throw the ball unbalanced it not only effects your power but it also effects your accuracy/ timing point being the real problem with Bryce Youngs bad footwork is his small size ...just saying
