When a player says we need a disciplinarian head coach, and he used to play for one until the Pegulas forced him out, and then played for the exact opposite kind of head coach who was an abject failure, the conclusion is obvious.

Probably shouldn't call a guy's bluff who is prepared to walk, then. That's no excuse.

Yeah, sure. Sammy may as well hold up a sign that says OBD has !@#$ed up letting Marrone go and hiring a loser joke like Rex.

It was Boobie over Fred and Boobie SUCKED.

Didn't we have a coach that was a total disciplinarian hard-ass who held guys accountable? Before the Pegulas?

One of Rex's biggest mistakes.

Not in hindsight, because I wanted him fired last year. Hence the "I was right," topic.

Depends on your perspective. Personally, I think they were a year too late. They wasted a draft and FA period on a lame duck coach I could see from a mile away, as well as another offseason to put the Rex scheme in place. The bandaid needed to be ripped off immediately and the switch to a 4-3 made swiftly after 2015. Rex was done, it was clear from the Redskins game last season he inspired no one on that defense and we saw it time and time again this year.

It would not, but that wasn't the OP's question.

I suppose. I look at Marrone who took a bad offense and great defense to 9-7. Yes offense was his specialty, but they didn't have nearly the talent level of the D. Meanwhile, they got Rex who neutered a very talented defense, unlike Marrone who played ball control and field position with a not so talented O. So basiclally, Rex took a high potential D and crushed it. Marrone took a low potential O and kept it there. Makes him way better, IMO. And that's on the Pegulas.

EJ would need to play the game of his life, like 20-24 with 300 yards a couple TD's and no picks. More importantly, he'd need to stand tall in the pocket, not look skittish at all, no balls in the dirt, use all parts of the field, not miss wide open guys, look off safeties, etc etc. Basically, look like Tom Brady. Otherwise, bye.

It sorta does. They took a step backwards and got rid of the best coach we've had in a decade.

The Pegulas refused to extend his staff. They played hardball and called his bluff. And here we are, head coachless again, with $30M pissed away for nothing.

Rex was clueless on defense and had a chaplain making his game time decisions. Give Marrone Shady and Tyrod instead of Orton, EJ and dead Fred and we may have seen a different offense.

Fine.

Let me rephrase. Were you trying to emulate Saint Doug's level of pettiness as a joke, or do you truly not see the irony?

Why? And yet, if the Pegulas say 'Rex isn't getting fired" he doesn't get fired. That little influence means squat. It's the Pegula's call every single way. So besides the obvious reasons to criticize bad decisions, this is just another failed argument out of you.

We can't change coaches, GM's or players either.

Was this intentional?

Guarantee Marrone gets an interview. So who cares?

Dareus should start serving his 10 game suspension early too.

With JfH, you and I both know "hopefully" means "probably."

He failed a drug test, 4 game suspension starting now. Adam Schefter Verified account ‏@AdamSchefter Bucs RB Doug Martin failed a drug test and is being suspended four games starting now, per league sources.

When your opinion is "don't post things I don't like!" it changes. You can believe they are great and perfect and I can believe otherwise.

Yes. Pay attention,
