So you think the failure of other coaches under Reid are causing the issue? I assume Eric calls plays also, but it seems like Reid is always calling plays in the high pressure times.
Maybe. My Bears fan good friend says the Nagy is really screwing Bieniemy. Still think it is crazy the Eric hasn’t gotten a shot where all of these other assistant coaches with much less resume get all these jobs. Maybe Saints will be one for him.

Yeah, as long as Reid is carrying a play card on Sunday's Bieniemy will have an uphill battle for a job. At the end of his next contract I wonder if Eric will move along.
Didn’t hurt Doug Pederson or Matt Nagy getting jobs not holding the play card with Reid. Not carrying a play card didn’t hurt Zac Taylor get Bengals job or Hackett getting hired in Denver. Did it hurt Kevin O’Connell getting the Vikings job this week?

That may or may not prove itself true with Daboll. The problem is when there are 6, 7, 8, and this year 9 vacancies every year there simply aren't the slam dunk candidates out there to fill them. Of the first time guys hired I think Daboll and Eberflus were certainly the most deserving. Whether it works out or not is a different question.
Bieniemy has best resume by far of the assistant coach 1st time HC candidates, has for a few years.

HOF of horrible OC choices, Shurmur, Nagy and Bill O’Brien would be on 1st ballot.
-
We will see about Dorsey. Giants as OC, not calling plays, with Daniel Jones or Bills OC, calling plays with Josh Allen?
If he goes to Giants, that is either a huge indictment of McD or of Dorsey in eyes of the Bills.

Unpopular opinion but this is the best outcome IMO. We will be forced to hire an external candidate with play calling experience. Allen badly wanted Dorsey so we probably would have hired him if he hadn't already agreed to go with Daboll. Dorsey can get his feet wet somewhere else. This offense is championship caliber now and it deserves a championship caliber OC.
Sure, till that external candidate is Matt Nagy.

Don’t you have to be a FA to get tagged?Yes, meant to say he will likely get tagged. Larger point is Packers have leverage over both Rodgers and Adams. For them to get out, and get out together would take a lot of malcontent behavior, luck, or Packers just wanting to start over.

Isn’t there an out in his contract where he can be a free agent after this season?“Rodgers is not a pending free agent. He and the Packers agreed to a restructured contract last summer. In that deal, a void year was added for 2023 – meaning he would be able to enter free agency and be ineligible for the franchise tag after next season. The contract was also structured so that the Packers would save nearly $20 million against the cap if Rodgers is traded before June 2022. Based on that language, many have speculated that he will seek a trade this offseason.”

Rodgers not a free agent, Denver will have to trade for him. Adams also not a free agent, he is prime candidate for franchise tag. I just don’t see how Packers won’t try to run it back again for 1 last time.

Translation 1 - I didn’t get any of the jobs I wanted.
Translation 2 - I’d rather be HC of Cowboys next year then the HC of any of these teams this year.

I can’t believe Elway has kept his job in Denver. This guy makes a lot of bad moves.
He hasn’t, Elway no longer GM. Although he seems to still have a voice in the organization. This will not go over great out here in Denver, unless Rodgers comes with him.

Living in Denver we have witnessed Fangio up close. Although his defenses are great, I just don’t see him as a fit to McD “culture.” He is a stubborn, inflexible man who doesn’t seem to be someone who would embrace McD growth mindset concepts.
-
I’m guessing God just wanted the Chiefs to win, right McD? Last week all praise to God for win led your post game press conference. Big win, all praise to God for it. Big lose, we all need to be better. Tired of his act.
I just for once want him to take personal accountability for his specific decisions not being good enough for the team. No we all have to be better crap, and “execution.” Josh on several occasions has said his personal level of play wasn’t good enough and that he cost the team the game.
I want the same level of accountability from the Head Coach. Even more importantly I want him to learn from them and be BETTER. You know the basis for all the growth mindset things you have preached for years. The best accountability is a changed behavior, he has yet to change those.

A lot
He has turned the culture around and has the team playing hard every game, playoffs in 4 of 5 years? We have a young QB who could be the best in the league for another 10 years. These threads are tiresome, its like saying that you should be fired after a mistake at work no matter what it is because people are perfect and dont make mistakes.Its not that he makes mistakes, everyone does. I think the biggest issues are his in game management errors have not gotten consistently better over the 5 years. When game gets tight, so do his decisions and coaching especially against Andy Reid. He cost this team wins in the biggest games of past 2 years in playoff games at KC.
Im not a fan of McD, he personally just annoys the hell out of me. He is good coach, but good enough to win Super Bowl? I don’t think so at this point. He seems more Doug Collins than Phil Jackson. I don’t think he should be fired now, but some improvement in these areas better come soon.

Any chance Dorsey goes with Daboll to Miami or with Frazier to Bears as OC of those teams?

He benched robinson for a fumble and lawrence apparently confronted him mid-game about it: https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2021/12/11/report-urban-meyer-had-heated-argument-with-marvin-jones-called-his-assistant-coaches-losers/
I of course thought of McDermott, who seems to think fumbles should never, ever happen (news flash: they do) and if they do the back has to go to the doghouse. I know a lot of coaches do this, but it’s pretty reactionary assuming the player isn’t a problem fumbler.
McD doesn’t seem to mind that Singletary has put it on ground 5 times and Josh 7 times this season.

What would make this team “tough?”

You have to be kidding me. This is your logic???? Hahahahahha.
So If Josh wants a ring your logic is he should choose the one with 0 over the one with 6?

Does Josh want a ring?
Daboll has 5 Super Bowl rings and 1 college National Championship ring, McD has none. Just saying.

They can't pass block either. Allen makes their stats look better than they really are.
That is fact also, and a BB/McD created problem.

If we don’t find a way to get some balance that’s when he will lose this thing. We need to be able to run the ball. Wether or not it’s popular, it’s right. I think McDermott realizes it. I just don’t know if Daboll is capable of executing it.
How balanced were Patriots last night? I always love how you only have to be balanced if you don’t run enough, but never if you don’t pass enough.
You don’t have to be balanced, you have to run successfully enough that teams have to at least respect it. We don’t have a single decent NFL level RB, and an Oline that can’t run block. That is on BB and McD not Daboll.

He’s got no one to blame but himself…. It’s the same line that struggled to run the ball last season. They did nothing to improve it…. Only difference this year is they are forcing a square peg into a round hole when it comes to the run game and for the most part it’s just wasted downs… specifically in the red zone where they are struggling.
That’s what I don’t get. It is largely assumed that the roster and philosophy of how this team is built comes from both BB and McD as a team. The perception was this is what they both felt was best way to build, play and win.
Yet, his actions and words as a coach scream that he wants the exact opposite. I’m just beginning to wonder if it’s not McD that doesn’t fit how this team is built and wants to play.

From the Athletic:
When asked if he felt offensive coordinator Brian Daboll was doing a good enough job, McDermott didn’t give his usual line of “We all need to be better and that starts with me.” Instead, his message was clear and his comments were subtly the biggest indicator to this point of his frustration with the offensive game plan, and by proxy, Daboll.
“Well I didn’t think, honestly, we took advantage of opportunities tonight. I really didn’t. The ball is at the 40-yard line. We’re 1-for-4 in the red zone. We’ve got to figure that part of it out.”
That was the most direct answer about Daboll, but McDermott provided subtle hints before that point. McDermott pushed back when asked if he wondered about his team’s lack of physicality not being a fit for how to win games this time of year.
“That has not been my message from day one, I can promise you that. If you were in the team meetings in training camp, you would know what style of offense I want,” he said. “That identity needs to embody toughness.”
About the red zone woes, McDermott said, “Just no rhythm. No rhythm, really, down there.” And then simplifying it all, with an allusion to the last time there was some frustration with the offensive game plan years ago, the coach said, “You’ve got to score more points. That’s the name of the game. Score more points.”
Is it possible that McD is unhappy with the make up of roster? He wants more physical lines and BB has built more finesse type lines on both side of ball?

I agree it’s probably a little of everything. I live just outside Boulder here in Colorado and we all remember his college issues. What I do feel is minority coaches don’t get the benefit of the doubt for current set up, past performances and previous actions as white coaches do. Hell McCown might gets HC job in Houston without coaching a single game at any level.
