November 19, 2024Nov 19 comment_1774795 Why would they want to replace a coach who cant get the team ready to play at the beginning of the season or the first quarter of each game?

November 20, 2024Nov 20 comment_1774831 Taylor rarely has his team ready to play at the beginning of the season. Over the first 5 games of the season over the last 5 years (won’t count his first season when he went 0-5) he has gone 9-15-1. Only in the Superbowl season did they start off with a winning record at 3-2.

This means it's Kingburry Vrabel Bellicheck Of those 3 the only one that interests me is Billicheck, and I dont think the front office would give him the support he needs Or the contract. Any idea what he was paid his last year with the Pats? What does that look like versus Zach?

He stated to many holes, not enough resources to fill them all. The have to prioritized the interior Oline. Burrow has taken 50 hits since week 5..

Belichick was cutting his teeth as a HC in Cleveland after being the mastermind behind the Giants' ferocious defenses of the mid- to late-80s. He's always the smartest guy in the room, IMO, and he doesn't waste talent. Give him Lawrence Taylor or Tom Brady, and he gives you a dynasty. Give him Tom Brady & Randy Moss, and he breaks the record books and nearly gives you perfection. Give him Joe Burrow & Ja'Marr Chase.... His teams were always supremely well-prepared. He could tell his players to "do [their] job" because he fully & meticulously equipped them to do that job. It wasn't Tom Brady that held the Greatest Show on Turf to 17 points in SB XXXVI. And it wasn't Tom Brady that was coached-up to intercept Russell Wilson on the goal line to win SB XLIX. How much fire he has left is another story, though. He certainly wouldn't be the first HOF HC to run out of gas in his coaching twilight years.

He a "consultant" for them right now. I see it as a good fit .

November 21, 2024Nov 21 comment_1774963 Someone like Ben Johnson would be a significant upgrade on Zac but he'll have plenty of options. Last offseason he turned down offers from a couple of teams. Prospective coaches might look at Burrow and Chase and salivate but the Brown family still wants to play fantasy football with the team instead of hiring pros to run it while they simply enjoy the perks. Duke Tobin should be fired before Taylor. Pollack is the most glaringly subpar position coach. It's ridiculous that we have such a subpar interior O-line or that between our D-line and secondary there is 1 good player.

Is he willing to work for $40K a year and all the Skyline he can eat??
November 22, 2024Nov 22 comment_1775040 IF... By some chance in whatever screwed up timeline this is... Bill Bellyache should somehow be desperate enough to coach the Bengals and Mike/Katie somehow even wanted that to happen.... I demand that it be televised on Hard Knocks. It would be the funniest TV show since Arrested Development. It would be the greatest addition to a running comedy series since Danny DeVito joined "It's Always Sunny". I want to laugh at every exasperated sigh from Bill and every worried look from Katie. I want to watch Belichick's eyes roll right out of his head when Mike Brown suggests Volson can play TE.

Still hope to see him as a HC or GM somewhere that won't be an uphill battle from the start. Think he could build a great team if the owners/FO or AD/faculty stayed out of his way. How safe is Pierce with the Raiders? I don't see Telesco going anywhere.

I see it as a good fit . IIRC, I read Stefanski is safe thru next year so if you want to hire Vrabel it will have to be at the end of this season. As far as other coaches, Pollack and Anarumo have to go. The oline has been crap for years and Lou has either lost it or teams have figured him out and he is unwilling/unable to change his scheme. The recent draft picks we've gotten can't ALL be crap can they?
