Surely not… That was not just a beat down it is a sign your entire team are done with you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure the decision to let him go was finalized last night if it wasn’t already. If there’s nobody to evaluate as a potential HC candidate on their current staff (like LV is doing with Pierce) I’m not sure what there is to gain from firing him now vs. 23 days from now other than for the GM to send a message to the locker room (though I imagine he’s gone EOY too). Speaking of Pierce, curious for thoughts about how he handled last night’s game. Running a WR pass up 42-0 and passing while up 7 TDs half way through the 4Q is a pretty dickish move and one I’m sure those Chargers players who remain next year will remember.

Al and Kirk were talking during last night’s broadcast how they’re 29th in yards allowed and passing defense, and that was before last night’s beatdown. I’m thinking when Staley gets let go he’s gonna have to work his way back up to a coordinator role for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude is trying to get a job from a bit of a meathead owner…I have no doubt Mark Davis will have loved that… Usually I would say save it for a close game but I can see why Piece felt the need. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raiders have looked much better under pierce than they did mcdaniels, and pierce is surely shooting for the full time job. Why not blow the doors off a division rival and make your owner giggle like a school girl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmike90 Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 Staley out in LA…no shock… A bit more surprised they fired the GM mid-season though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id say the mess in LA is more Telesco's fault than Staley's They are clearing the decks to make LA look like the most enticing landing spot for someone who wants all the control Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dll2000 Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 This is why a lot of NFL coaches play not to lose. Blow outs get you fired quick. Close games keep you until end of season at least. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dll2000 Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 John Fox did a masterful job of keeping games respectable with Trubisky at QB. Did nothing to develop him and never threatened to actually win the game - but kept scores respectable. I hate that actually. I'd rather risk getting blown out and try to win games with bold game plans against better teams. Sometimes that blows up in your face. But so be it. But it is different when it is your livelihood on the line. I get it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dll2000 Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 Notice difference with Sean Payton game plans even when they were being blown out. He has job security though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
