Three things that I really hope we get in the next coach

  1. Be as good a leader as Fox was. You might not like his approach, you might not want another conservative guy in here, but his guys played hard for him to the bitter end. Neither of our other coaches can say that.
  2. Hire and keep good people. That's one of the biggest aspects of being a head coach, and one of the least-discussed. Want to know why Smith is doing great in Atlanta? His staff is great, that's why. Remember why Payton finally won? He hired Williams. We need someone who can go out and get the best coordinators out there, and make them happy.
  3. Go for the jugular, on defense AND on offense. There were times under Fox when it really seemed like our defense wanted to just put the hurt on the other guys. This is why everyone loves Cowher too--his defenses played like that. I want someone who's fearless like that, and fearless on offense too. We've gone low-risk for long enough, and while there have been rewards they haven't been high enough. It's time to let the pendulum swing in the other direction.

You cant argue with the fact that Fox's guys love him and will play to the end for him but I wonder about his ability to "rally the troops". With a few notable exceptions it seems like once a game starts going south Fox was never able to get things going in the other way.

Not trying to turn this into a Fox bash thread, Id just like the next guy to be a better leader than fox was/is.

I think that kind of rests on the coordinators, which is what I think Fox's biggest flaw was. Fox can rally the troops, and he can get his coaches pumped up, but if his coordinators don't have effective "plan B" plans in the first place, then there's not a lot that can be done.

    • Yeah not taking that Burns trade was infinitely stupid. We seem to be finally righting the ship but, imo, our biggest issue since Tepper bought the team has been coaches and management having a poor understanding of where our own roster is at. Starting with that idiot Rhule drinking his own kool-aid and thinking he was going to come and take the NFL by storm with Teddy freaking Bridgewater. Could have just kept Cam on the last year of his contract and gone from there but noooo that fat slob had to feel like he was the big man on campus. First round wizard Marty Hurney who, for whatever his faults, has a freaking HOF track record with first round picks, wants to trade up for Hebert but fat fug Rhule says no. Then we kept Rhule for 3 years which is absolutely unbelievable to me and every single year he treated our roster like it was just one player away trading our draft picks for Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield who have proven since leaving that Matt Rhule was an even bigger idiot of a coach than we thought. We finally seem to understand we are a ways off and trade CMC, but then we don’t take the actual good trade for Brian Burns who was never better than a run of the mill situational pass rusher. Then we botch the self scout of our OL (and team) after Wilks, even though they were bad before Wilks simplified the scheme, thinking they can execute whatever the hell Reich and Brown were trying to do. So we win a couple meaningless games playing dummy ball and Fitterer thinks we’re a player away again. And nobody even considers that having the slowest receiving corps imaginable with Damiere freaking Byrd, who can’t even make it to the season before being injured and cut, as your only hope for speed, coupled with the worst pass blocking OL I’ve ever seen, might lead to titanic levels of disaster. The way Canales and Morgan have been adamant about constantly bringing competition at every position has been refreshing and made a huge difference. I was kind of worried that we had fallen into our old ways leading up to the draft with all the talk of defense only and worried that they might feel the offense was set. Very glad to see they were not complacent on that. My big thing now is I’m still wondering why Evero is still here. I can’t think of a single player who has gotten better under him, and the Broncos defense got better once he left. We’ll see.
    • really good interview that gives some insight into their decision making process in making up the schedules and the issues they run into with so many people broadcasting games now. also some interesting discussion on what they have going on and where they might be heading in the international games. vikings have 2 of them, btw. we might be seeing more of that.     
    • wow i absolutely LOVED watching that.   will watch again...and again...and again.
