Firing your coach midseason


AceBoogie

Recommended Posts

There has been a lot of talk about there being no reason to fire your coach midseason. So I dug up this article that actually shows there is a slight increase in winning percentage when a coach is fired mid season.

Mid-season firings are relatively uncommon in the NFL. If an NFL team fires its head coach, it's a pretty sure bet that it wasn't going to the playoffs anyway, but on average, teams did win just a little bit more often. That might mean a difference between 4-12 and 6-10. That difference matters to fans.

You can read the whole article here

I don't think there's a point honestly

I think the moment you know that your going to fire him then you should go ahead and do it. He still gets paid and you send a message to your fans that you aren't going to put up with his bs anymore.

If the season is over in damn October again then as a fan and season ticket holder I shouldn't have to look down on that sideline and see stoic Ron trying to save his job by actually coaching the way he should have all season. That's what he always does.

Two years now we have been fooled by the late season push. No wins going into the bye week is unacceptable.

It completely depends on how much JR is actually involved in the decision. If he has indeed gotten older and is wanting to further detach himself from the personnel decisions and he's given Gettleman full control- something he has never done with previous GMs- I wouldn't put it past G-man to shitcan Rivera at the bye.

 

If JR is still calling the shots from on-high, I doubt seriously we have no choice but to agonize thru yet another brutal season of coaching ineptitude. JR is simply too old school and conservative to make such an aggressive move.

untill the players stop blowing assignments or making huge mistakes............I'll stick w/ my HC.

 

there's a little truth to your comment, but I think what it comes down to is that the HC and FO aren't putting players in situations to win. 

 

that blown coverage at the end of the game still doesn't excuse the fact that a rookie QB marched 80 yards.

If 4-10 and 6-10 are my only choices, I'll take 4-12 and the better draft pick.

 

lame. 

 

Better draft pick? the first 4 picks of the draft are probably going to be 3 QBs and Clowney. 

 

I'll take 6 wins and drafting 8,9,10. We still will be able to fill one of our needs.

ohh, you mean NOT BEING PREPARED....bring on a new HC....

You can't give a HC slop and when the slop can't get it done....blame the coach for it all.

Gettlemen deserves blame for not upgrading at OL and CB positions.

Talent issues still exist

The real blame is JR (bargain hunting at the dollar general, to include our HC that was passed over 9 other times, hmmm) and "Hurney magik", this is Gettleman's 1st year in this mess (he gets a pass this year).

    • Bryce just didn't maximize Hunter Renfrow's skills. ***rant incoming*** But this isn't just about Bryce Young mistiming passes to Renfrow so bad that he's going to get Renfrow killed or hurt, this is also about incompetentence by Dave Canales. Renfrow can still play. He's putting DBs in a blender out there---making them play twister at the top of routes to keep up with him, and dumb Dave has the nerve to cut him. How about putting Hunter in the best position to help the damned offense by appreciating his skill set, DC? You're letting Bryce's apparent inability to make an accurate throw, or at least his timidity to push the ball down the damned field cloud your judgment and miscalculate talent---or maybe just miss on talent just as much as Bryce misses passes due to playing pussified football. It's fúcking unacceptable.  Speaking of misjudgment, I don't know if it's Dan Morgan or Canales, but Eijiro Evero is not the business at DC. I have said a few times that his scheme is not conducive to run-stopping efficiency. Hell, and after watching some clips of plays, now I absolutely know why. The gaps are at least half open before the play even fúcking starts. You are setting the opposition's RBs up for success with too much damned space at the line and in the second level. If our guys are taken out in these areas---at the line and in the second level---then the defense is screwed because it must rely on the safeties to cover too much ground to make the tackle. At least put Ransom in who is motivated to seek and destroy if you're going to effectively leave the safeties on an island.  And speaking of rookies, get our two new defensive ends more snaps to see if we can't generate more of a pass rush. For all the good the continued sorry display of defense that you're putting out for fan's to see (Ejiro, Dave and Dan), you may as well get the rookies generously involved. Fúck that money we gave second-rate (maybe second-rate) vets, we need a damned spark getting after the QB. Watch it, it's just another breakdown of the sh¡t we were subjected to last week. I say this with all respect: Fúck you, Dave! Fúck you, Dan! Learn how to run a fúcking franchise. Maximize the players, regardless of what you think you're supposed to do by the book. Cut the dead weight before another season is lost and fans lose interest in September. EE is "Ew!" Or for emphasis "EEw!" /end rant
    • But nobody is saying he is a good deep ball passer.  But the facts are since he's returned from his benching, he has been throwing downfield.  Whether you want to credit the scheme, Bryce himself, or whatever, he has been pushing it deep.  Not to any positive results mind you, but it has been happening.
