Coach Tuesday

Hell be fired, don't worry. He knows it.

You can't leave corners on an island like that, though. Someone want to tell me what the safeties were up to all night??

Gilmore is a disaster. He's not worth the money. Remind me why they fired Donnie Henderson?

This is the worst team I've seen since Gregg Williams. Looks similar to that 2003 squad actually.

Jerry did squat tonight

The Ryans are done. Rex will never be a head coach again. He'll joke that he was never suited for it to begin with and loves coaching defense. The joke will be on us.

He knows OBD pretty well. He's right. This product is an absolute disgrace and the fans deserve an apology.

That would be me, and I stand by it. You can look me up in a year or two when he's dominating.

And then lying about his injury.

Nah, maybe he just wasn't too focused while typing the post.

Ok, thank you.

Interesting - earful from whom?

The argument that Brandon is the "constant" - with morning more - is just stupid. That's not a reason to fire someone, but it sure is indicative of the lynchmob mentality that has overtaken this country as of late. I made a sound anti-Brandon argument upthread. You should read it.

Fisher was a great special teams coach who, early in his head coaching career, always had his players prepared more than the other team - a la Belichick. Something seems to have happened, though - perhaps the game has indeed passed him by. He certainly does not understand what a modern offense is supposed to be doing - Gurley is his new Eddie George.

Ed Hocculi cannot be underestimated - he HATES the Bills and will do whatever he can to give the Jets the win. This I'm convinced of.

Marrone was not a good appointment, independent of anything. He is a horrible human being.

I agree

It's not that simple. The makers of the product keep lying that they've fixed it.

I think you can make your point just fine without attacking Bandit or his motives. Thanks.

You have to hire the right Czar, definitely. You also have to give the consultants COMPLETE scope - you can't say, for example, that certain departments are off-limits for their review. That happens a lot and it's a top reason consultants fail.

Yes they do. That's why I might go outside of the sports world - just hire McKinsey, not Ron Wolf. They're smart enough to figure this out. The owners can chose to listen to the recommendation or not to - it's obviously up to them.

I've mentioned this before: consumer fraud. The poster above is right, it probably would be dismissed because you're still getting what you pay for, i.e., a (supposedly and subjectively) entertaining game, not a winning outcome. But it sure would be a fun Complaint to draft. Lying about the medical status of the first round pick, firing coaches and shedding salaries the week before the season starts (once ticket sales have mostly been locked in), hell we could cram 400 paragraphs of narrative into that baby for the last 6 years alone.

Alright man - have it your way. I'm telling you this is how businesses often work. Consultants come in with an objective perspective and comparative analytics and advise the board/ownership where changes could be made to improve performance. Don't be surprised if that's exactly what the Pegulas do in December/January.

Yes, selection of a GM, rebuilding of other departments as necessary, and development of a strategic vision that the entire organization is structured around and focused on. The Pegulas select the Czar, and they tried to do just this last offseason but weren't able to.

That's not how big business works, I don't mean to sound condescending about it but there is a widespread belief that hiring outside consultants for a limited, defined time period and scope, is a good way to measure your business's progress and strategy. Like cleaning out and rebuilding the team's Stalinesque PR and sales team, for one. Start with Scott Berchtold and his entire staff - talk about amateurs, it's amazing they still have jobs.
