So, a guy who probably is going to suck, because a quality HC candidate will understand that he's still at the top of the stack next year with a lot more appealing job, and he's likely going to be a coordinator at a top tier job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call it a gut feeling, based on past circumstantial evidence as well as current standings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanwhile, David Culley is getting a free pass because people are more interested in blaming Bill O'Brien for the current state of the Texans. (And nobody is talking about Jack Easterby anymore...) Celebrity coaches really don't benefit anyone, do they? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a celebrity hire in Jacksonville could be great. They need a guy who's fresh, but established, and ideally poaching someone off a rival would be good. Thankfully Jeff Fisher is a special assistant to the Titans right now. Meets every qualification. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notthatbluestuff Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Too early. Yes, it seems bad now, but the Jags were a 1-15 team. You can't just expect a new hire to turn it around immediately. What's the point in firing him in week 3? Is it really that much worse than the end of Marrone's tenure? They have a rookie QB, terrible defense, new coordinators across the board. They're supposed to be bad now. Lawrence will be fine - and when he improves, Meyer will look better by default.

I mean...is Doug Pederson an awful hire? Eeeeeeeeeeeek...I mean...ugh...I don't like it, but i don't think it would be "awful" and I don't know that he flat out sucks.

And that would be a silly reason to fire someone. He’s their supervisor. Some people aren’t going to like him. And there’s so many examples of beloved coaches being terrible and disliked coaches having great success. The character of what's being said is important. They all point to him not really having a grasp of how coaching grown men at the pro level differs from coaching college kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didnt come out of the womb a lawyer, I am sure he has had poop jobs like the rest of us. Just now, Apparition said: How am I wrong? Ive never heard of a single US based large scale employer that does not allow for a transitional period. Most of them, especially those nation wide, dont have the ability to just fire someone because they suck the first month of a new job. Not unless they want to get sued. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
