KingTitan Posted January 2, 2018 Author Share Posted January 2, 2018 Seriously though....It's hard not to root for him, because I see what he means to the team. To me, that is one the most important things about a coach. The players support and being able to lead a locker room is just as important as being able to draw up some plays. Of course being able to find one that can do it all is ideal. But if he can't then being smart enough to find someone that can do it. I stated it somewhere in response to what @titans0021talked about. Robiskie was a good WR coach and hadn't been an OC since the Bo Jackson days with the Raiders, that was before some of you guys were born. I don't mind an older guy as an OC. But someone that has had documented success as an OC in the last 10 years would work better for me. Even when Robiske was an OC, it wasn't that great. It was middle of the road. My philosophy with hires and signings is give them a chance to succeed and if/when they fail replace and move on. I rooted for Robskie, i wanted him to succeed but I've seen enough. Murlakey is going to be back, baring some epic sideline meltdown Saturday. He has the pulse of the team and I'm hoping he feels the players aren fans of what they are doing. However, they also haven't helped by not executing the simplest of plays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitanSlim Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 (edited) Mularkey, hire Tom Clements or Greg Olson and let them run the offense. That's all I ask for at this point. If need be, demote Robiskie to WR coach. Edited January 2, 2018 by TitanSlim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingTitan Posted January 2, 2018 Author Share Posted January 2, 2018 If he fails to make any changes, I'll be VEEEERY disappointed and frustrated. But I'll write this year off as a down year and hope he gets it right. But only get 3 years from me. Beyond what some think, I'm not ok with floating around the 9-7 mark with a struggling offense. Detroit got rid of the coach after 3 out of 4 winning seasons and 2 playoff appearances. But it didn't feel right and felt like it wasn't going anywhere.

I honestly got Bill Musgrave and him mixed up...lol. Looking at it now, Olson's career is weird. He's played a role in the development of young QBs like Bortles, Derek Carr and now Jared Goff. However, QBs seem to play great the first year under him then regress. Marc Bulger, Josh Freeman, Blake Bortles. It's strange.

titans0021 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Well, if I wasn't already positive that Mularkey would be back, the fact that JLC says it's a possibility he is let go pretty much guarantees it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Book it. Probably getting an extension too, since Canfora is reporting. Surprised if he didn't say Murlakey was "Living On a Prayer."

Whereas I'd much prefer a younger head coach, I'm fine with an older OC. With the requirement that they've both worked with and helped develop good or great quarterbacks and that they've had something resembling recent success running an offense that isn't based around three tight end sets. Robiskie was a bad hire from day one. Not only because of his age, but because we should have been looking for someone that had a track record of working with young quarterbacks, not a relic that's only success in the last 25 years came as a WR coach.

Will have to go back and look, but does anyone remember what stage he hired him as OC? What were the choices at the time? Just trying to rationalize the decision and put hope in the fact he might change given more choices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, in between the divisional and conference championship round, which feels pretty early. Looked it up, it was also two days after Mularkey was given the full-time job. So he was definitely the first choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coordinators hired that year: Clyde Christiansen (Miami) Todd Monken (Tampa Bay) Mike Sullivan (New York Giants) Ken Whisenhunt (San Diego Chargers) Frank Reich (Philly) Curtis Modkins (San Fran) Now....it's not to say this was the only people we could hire...but it's not exactly a who's who of hot OC's. Frank Reich would have been great, but that was a package deal with Pederson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose it makes sense that a group of bad HCs hired a group of bad OCs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guys like Clements was in Green Bay when Murlakey was hired. And hard to argue with keeping Robiskie after last's year success. But now that someone like Clements, Musgrave, Norv Turner, Greg Roman and possibly Rod Chudzinski are going to be available, Murlakey might have a bigger pool of old guys to choose from..lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
