That’s not how hiring decisions are made. Sorry but I respectfully disagree and I think it's hard to ignore that is the main reason. If you were an owner and saw that you would sign up for that? Let's just be real. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDawkinstein Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 I'd rather be the Bills DC than take most of the open HC jobs on trash teams with garbage FOs. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I thought he would get another shot too, and here it is. I’d say the same for Bowles, who reminds me of Frazier, except more aggressive. He’ll get another shot too eventually Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s only 32 of those jobs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots going on down there. Good luck to Lovie, always seems like a nice man. The whole Texan thing is always overblown. Culley did a good job w the team. Those guys on the Texans played hard last year. They beat the Chargers late in the season. The media and social media is always looking for something to make a big deal about. But inside the walls most players come to work every day like any other job and bust their asses to be the best they can be. All the rest is clutter. And with social media its 24/7/365 ad nauseum. Lovie is solid. And get the most out of his players. The team in that division that really underperformed this past year was the Colts. They choked big time. Frank Reich really lost some luster w the loss to the Jags on the final Sunday of the season. The perception versus the reality of what goes on with teams is not always close.

Players just show up for their job and collect their check. But the drama for the documentary isnt with the players on the field. It's with ownership, his neighbor/buddy lawyer, Easterby, and their handling of both Watson and the HC spot. And we all know the Owner and FO set the tone for the entire team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FilthyBeast Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 There's a reason why Frazier did not get a HC gig again this year, and it's not just because of how the season ended in the playoffs against chiefs. I still have to believe there is real discussion on moving on from him and if that does happen will be sooner than later while there are other viable candidates still on the market.

That's right - we shouldn't accept anything less than being the number one defense in the league. Until we find a coordinator that can get us that top ranking we shouldn't settle.

MrEpsYtown Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 One thing that does make sense, now that the Giants decided to hire Martindale, perhaps Steve Wilks make sense as a replacement for Frazier. Or, maybe he comes in as assistant head coach and defensive consultant or something. He was with McDermott for a while and replaced him in carolina so there is a connection there and one would think they would be in lock step in terms of what they want to accomplish.

ThurmanThomasEnglishMuffin Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 4 hours ago, AlCowlingsTaxiService said: To be fair, Smith did get the Bears to a Super Bowl with Rex Grossman behind center. Additionally, I don’t think you can judge HC candidates based solely on standings and statistics. Ability to manage, delegate and be a leader of men certainly play a role. Maybe Frazier is just a poor interviewee? That was a miracle in itself (Grossman SB). I sometimes wonder if coordinators get stuck in the shadow of the HC they are in when the HC strength is the same side of the ball. DC Frazier, HC McDermott - Defense OC Bieniemy, HC Andy Reid - Offense Eric Bieniemy especially. KC's identity is clearly offense. You would think the Mahomes glow would boost him as a candidate like the Allen glow boosted Daboll. But few interviews much less offers. With the Bills it is a bit more murky. One would think Buffalo's identity would clearly be defense with Frazier and McDermott, and even though statistically the Buffalo D has been a top performing unit for much of their tenure, their have been plenty of blemishes and few game changing plays. Unfortunately I think that works against Frazier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAJBobby Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 1 hour ago, CorkScrewHill said: This I think is what is also holding back Eric Bieniemy. Andy Reid calls the plays and the view is that Mahommes dropped into the league as a stud so what has Bieniemy done .. whereas Daboll is credited (whether or not it is deserved) with changing Josh from a perceived bust-worthy draft pick into a top 3 quarterback. I also think Bieniemy Rap Sheet as a player also hurts him as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Frazier is just a poor interviewee? Maybe he doesn't want A coaching job, maybe he wants THE coaching job. He has been there before under not ideal conditions so he probably knows. Even though he takes the interviews just to stay in the media spotlight he might not want just any opening. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A fart you might be able escape unscathed from responsibility but that 13 seconds debacle was a shart for sure. Much more visible and a nasty situation hard to escape! It was worse than a shart. It was a total sprint across the gym floor couldn’t hold it in explosion all over the foul line during the middle of a dodge ball game. A ball happened to be thrown and bounced off the puddle of filth and landed a shot across of the chin of the girl you were about to ask out.
