Pouncey also didn't play all season. Harris missed 8 weeks. Ekeler missed 6 weeks. Ingram missed 9 weeks. Bosa missed 4 weeks. Bulaga played 38% of snaps. Allen/Williams/Henry all missed time this year. There were weeks where they were on their 4th string back. It's not an excuse of course - but I'm going to assume they regress next season. I agree on the special teams part - but its hard to make a coaching adjustment like that mid-season. Top 10 in offense and defense yardage wise to me seems like neither unit could get it done in the 4th quarter. It’s absolutely fair. In fact, I was generous - I did not even bring up Lynn’s misadventures in clock management. He’s a total failure at HC. Sucks to say it, I liked him a lot when he was here. The fact that you highlight the team’s high rankings on offense and defense actually prove my point even more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Essentially they spent tons of money on oline and they all got hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best thing we can do now is make it to the Super Bowl, drag this out as long as possible to give the owner a chance to make a stupid decision. But this does make it harder not only because he's got a real shot here but if this takes whoever the Texans want then that one becomes more likely for Daboll as well.

You just aren't quite cut out for it. Pretty sure Daboll went to high school with Tom Telesco, may be wrong but pretty sure thats the case. This is the exact job I was worried would open up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might be happy just being an OC and especially with this O. The grass is always greener on the other side of the street......until you get there. The grass may not be greener but the money is. Daboll will probably be able to command a 9 or 10 mil a year contract. No way he is turning that down and there are way to many very good HC openings to choose from this year. He is 100% without a doubt gone after this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangarang Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Supposedly the top choices for the job are Meyer and Daboll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea I like Trai Turner I think he is a decent guard when healthy which he basically hasn't been all year. But Bulaga was one odd signing. A declining career right tackle who you are expecting to come in and protect a rookie QB's blindside and then pay him as if he will be able to do it. Bizarre, and I said so at the time too. Green Bay upgraded at RT with Rick Wagner IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twitter called him out on the end of the bills game when herbert ran a sneak - I don't think Lynn called that or would've told him that it was smart to do so. Bad timeouts, etc. Those are hallmarks of a new coach, and he isn't a new coach so thats fair to say. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if Terry backs up the brinks truck for him I think he will stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rc2catch Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 I’m not even sure Daboll is the best fit here. If I was LA, Robert Saleh might be the guy I want the most. The offense is set, and quite good. The defense... Ewwwww. Saleh is the guy I wanna bring in to get the most from that defense. If Lynn and Steichen or whatever his name is can get that much from Herbert even when missing ekeler a ton and Keenan Allen hurt some and Mike Williams hurt some you don’t need an offensive guru to come in and fix what ain’t broken.

Doesn’t necessarily mean he will get it, coaches interview all the time but it’s up to the front office who gets picked. There’s a lot more names out there than just Daboll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles Romes Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Could have been fired on the spot for game Managment v Bills. Did awesome his first few years at SD then it wore off. The Wade Phillips cycle. Good then great then decline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingram, Henry, Pouncey come off the books so there's some cap space there as well. Could continue to build along the oline, get some young talent there. Could also see them invest in cornerbacks this offseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who’s to say Terry won’t pay him 10 million?? He could set the market for OC’s. Terry’s not cheap 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
