With this coaching staff...how many game would have we won last year?

Coaches don't win games for you. They can factor in to it, sure, but it's about the players. I know you blame Fox a lot for last season, LP, but you need to wake up and smell the coffee. Jimmy and Matt were awful last season and it wouldn't have mattered who was calling the shots or coaching them.

Here's a poster who has no idea what he's talking about

probably 4 or 5. there was going to be struggles no matter what, just too many spots populated by learning, growing players. maybe if moore had stayed healthy he could have gotten it together but it probably wouldn't have meant more than 6 or so, IMO.

fwiw, jonathan stewart just tweeted about meeting rivera. good stuff.

Just met coach rivera at the galleria mall in Dallas feelin real #pumped

it's a mix. I don't think Fox caused the injuries that really hurt the team, but I think you can blame the coaching staff for some of the boneheaded play design that was hurting the team early on in the running game and throughout in the passing game, and once Moore went down, we had to start someone who just wasn't ready to be a starter. At the same time the guys never quit and I do think they fought as hard as they could through the season.

I think ultimately we would have gotten maybe another 2 to 4 wins, but I think that the general atmosphere around the team would have been MUCH more positive because it was a building up year.

On the other hand, if we only win 2-4 games next year, people are not going to be very happy I think.

With the coaching staff we have now, I'd say we win 5-7 game's. Fox just did'nt seem to care anymore. I saw in several interview's with Fox and he just seemed to be sleepwalking. He knew he was done here, it was easy for me to see a change in his attitude and how the team responded as well.

If davidson had vacated the booth, his half diet pepsi on it's own probably could have called better plays for us. So with chud I think we could have won quite a few more. I'm so looking forward to not seeing someone clap during a fumble or facepalm during an interception. Coaching had a lot to do with our struggles, especially combining that with our lack of experience...

If you guys haven't checked out cyberjag's blogs on how our coaching changes could affect our offense and defense, do yourselves a favor and check that out!!!

I doubt it would have been much different. Great players make coaches look good far more often than coaches make players look good.

Just look at the two Super Bowl teams. Yeah, they have pretty good coaches, but they are both loaded with talent on both sides of the ball.

Not true at all. Both team's have very iffy O Lines and no one's RB's are scaring anybody (Mendenhall is good but not elite). Steelers WR Corp is average.

The only parts of these teams that are LOADED with talent are GB's WR's, Pittsburgh's D. Also both starting QB's are elite.

    • Holy poo... we have allowed the fewest goals in the playoffs, total. Including the teams that lost in the first round... lmao
    • It was nothing. It was a nice run in an easy schedule that did nothing but lose us DJ Moore and a lot more. We were 2-15 in 2023. Based on your logic, that winning finish should have been a launching point. For as much as you want to say we shouldn’t have taken a risk, you still can’t admit that the plans we tankers laid out were proven correct. There’s no revisionist history. We said we should have traded Burns to the Rams. We said we should have sold off anything not bolted down like Brown and Horn and even Icky because they were in the 5 year plan. There is no disconnect, we tried to keep winning and draft a rookie QB and we lost about 4 1st round picks of value that could have been given to the guys you think might be the right crew.
    • You’re assuming Fitt still gets fired at the same time. That’s the problem with all these hypothetical hindsight thoughts. If we had a fire sale so to speak I’m not sure the GM gets fired a year or two later due to a bad roster and bad record. Fitt went into win now mode, made it seem like we were only a QB away “we won’t drafting this high again” trading picks for vets etc and when he couldn’t show results he was fired. I’m sure this was all mentioned in his GM interviews. What’s his plan to turn us around and how quickly can he do it. Also you want last year’s CMC and Burns on our roster? At their price? Moving on from both was the right call, with Burns being the wrong time. If a team does a full roster strip down rebuild it can buy the GM more time as long as everyone is on the same page.
