What kind of head coach does this team need?

For the last 3 years I've been watching quietly, never vented about Rivera, never jumped onto the Huddle in a spat after a loss to call for his job. After week 2 in Buffalo I can whole heatedly declare that my position has changed. I think deep down since him being brought in we all had lingering questions as to, is this guy really savvy enough to run an NFL team? I know I did. He just doesn't seem that intelligent. You see the Harbaughs, Sean Payton, Pete Carrol, Mike Mcarthy. Unarguably successful coaches in the NFL, one thing you can attest to is all then being pretty intelligent guys. You can tell when they speak, you can tell by their teams on the field and the product they put on the field on Sundays. Does this team need to finally make a switch to a more control oriented, play calling coach? I know I'm ready to see a guy with a headset on with a huge play sheet actually asserting some control as to how this team plays on Sunday. I think it's time we found a scientist.

The only requirement I have is that he has been a head coach prior to taking this job.  I don't care what level:  College, NFL, CFL, Europe, whatever.  I just want the next coach to know how to manage a game, properly use timeouts, and not challenge insanely stupid things.

A coach that is accountable. A coach that directs criticism away from the players. A coach that can tailor their scheme to the players they have available. A coach that is able to make in game adjustments. A coach that is able to make calculated risks. A coach that is not a DEFENSIVE minded coach.

      Are the Panthers a "Trap Game" for the Hawks?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      The Seahawks won an emotional, divisional, overtime rivalry game vs the Rams on a Thursday night (Dec 18).  That gives them 10 days to prepare for the Panthers, but the Christmas holiday fell a week later--I bet they were afforded an extra day for travel-many coming back east.  Following the Panthers, Seattle plays at San Francisco for the division title (in all probability).   The Rams finish the season with games against the Falcons and Cardinals, two likely wins, pushing them to 13-4.  The Niners finish the season with home games against the Bears and Seahawks. Seattle finishes the season with the Panthers on the road and SF in California.   It is easy to see how preparing for the Panthers, during the holiday break and with the Niners waiting for them in SF a week later for (what could be) the NFC West title and #1 Seed in the NFC, could create the perfect trap game scenario.  The Panthers at home are 5-2.   In the past 2 weeks, the Seahawks struggled to beat the Phillip Rivers Colts in Seattle and then pulled off a miraculous, emotional victory at home vs. the Rams.  I am not convinced that they are as good as advertised. Seattle is a TD favorite in Charlotte.  I feel that Carolina by 3 may be more accurate.  While I am still not confident in this team's consistency and it never seems to dominate, it sure feels like a trap game for Seattle to me.  How could they NOT be thinking of San Francisco right now?  They are not used to being in this position (current players) and it is human nature.  Carolina 27, Seattle 24.

      Robert Hunt Practice Window Activated

      It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.

      Chad ‘Ochstradamus’ Johnson and Shannon Sharpe on Panthers

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Shannon was sued for $50 million (settled out of court, I believe) for forcing sex on his girlfriend during a two-year relationship.  He denies it, but ESPN let him go last April.  Chad Johnson's wife filed a police report because he head-butted her in a car and was put on probation. I had to google it.  I watched the Ray Rice video and when you see it, you realize just how vile and cowardly abusing a woman really is.  But for the same point Aussie tried to make, these women are defenseless, and being phyiscally bigger and stronger does not validate your actions.   I can't even stand to watch Steve Smith.  I can't normalize this kind of behavior--again, I do not think R-P had that in mind when he posted this.  When the reason was exposed, we should realize that we are talking life (quality of) and death (in some cases) here.
