In order to regain some success in the coming seasons...

...we need to basically hire a coach that is out of the norm for Richardson's past hires...

We need someone that isn't afraid to take control of a press conference... We need a coach that isn't going to tolerate crappy performances and play favorites with more experienced players...

Think about it... Dom Capers, George Siefert, and John Fox... Basically all carry the personality of field mouse, in that they are quiet, reserved, and offer nothing of real insight and drive as far as motivation goes... Sure, Foxy showed some promise early on, but it fizzled out about the same time as Jake Delhomme did...

If it isn't obvious to anyone at this point that clapping your hands and chewing some gum while basically not lighting a fire under anyone's ass is counterproductive, then you need to find something else to do on Sundays...

I don't know who our next coach will be, but I hope it is someone that will yell when he has to, grab a facemask or two to get some attention and respect... bust some heads, while at the same time making players want to win, and make the most of their talents... no matter how little they have...

I don't care if he cusses like a sailor or gets irate at press conferences over stupid questions, I just want someone to light the fire... Sure, players can do that on their own from time to time, but they can also only try so much and, if they don't get any support from the higher-ups in an organization, then what is the motivation?

Richardson needs to bring in someone that has a fan's desire and passion for the organization, and a professional's ability to lead and make decisions without fear of failure... Again, I don't know who it will be, but I do know that that is exactly what our front office needs...

Agree to hire me as a general assistant and I'll campaign for you ;)

That said more than an in your face type I want someone who will construct as good a staff as humanly possible to develop our young team.

A Tony Dungy type or a Cowher type doesn't matter to me, it's about the result they get with their method instead of the method itself.

I think your assesment is way off. Just because he keeps the media in the dark doesn't mean he's that reserved with the players. I think he does a bad job of keeping the players consistently motivated due to the lack of back to back winning seasons, not because of his demeanor with the press. That's an awful gauge of someone's coaching performance.

I had a small convo one time with the guy that worked the headsets and he said Fox is a maniac like most coaches.

I understand where you're coming from but I just want something new in this organization. It doesn't have to be someone that loves attention. I want someone that will put a fire under the organization, that will start rookies or young guys if they're better then a 5 years starter. Fresh air is what the franchise needs and I think that Richardson will keep his word in that he will spend the money to make this a winning organization again.

    • Jake in his prime was a gutsy QB. But just like with even someone like Cam. Father time is undefeated. It's very unfortunate we have a guy who is only 24 years old that has an equivalent arm to that. Absolutely blows my mind that our brain trust lacked the basic common sense to value arm talent when making a massive trade with ramifications for years to come. Unforgivable incompetence.
    • Jake, to me, will always hold a special place in my heart.  I really feel like for his era, he deserved way more love than he got, and should’ve had more than his one Pro Bowl.  He was a gamer with an underrated rocket arm. but let me tell you, after his Tommy John surgery, when he came back, I can’t remember who it was against, but it think it was a division game, he threw a ball that was supposed to be a throw away, as I think he was under pressure, and that poo floated forever and died right at the boundary where a defender ran over and picked it off.  One of the worst throws I ever saw.  His arm just wasn’t the same after the injury and surgery.  All that to say, that’s what almost every Bryce throw to the sidelines looks like to me.
    • And again, when watching him in college he had one distinct trait that I feel makes a franchise QB - on those plays when everything breaks down around him, he creates one on his own.  He doesn’t rely on or need everyone else.  That play last night on the final drive where he was getting sacked and threw it to Diggs before his knee hit the ground?  He does similar things all the time.  Mahomes, Allen, Lamar, etc., they all do it.  It’s what made Cam so special. but we picked a guy that’s the opposite of that.  He desperately needs someone else to make a play for him because he can’t.  Even that play yesterday on 4th down to Horn.  That wasn’t a great pass.  The defender was late and came down to make a play in the ball and Bryce threw it high and outside where Horn had to leave his feet and really use strong hands to catch it.  We relied on a 5’9” rookie playing in his first pro game to make THAT catch at THAT time bc of the early turnovers and a not great throw.  Crazy.
