FIRE Mangini and Daboll NOW
-
Mangini & Daboll are too completely different aspects of the team. While I favor taking a look at either giving Dabolls OC position an upgrade or more focus from talking heads like Holmgren, Mangini is fine. It isn't Mangini's fault that the players are making errors/penalties, missing field goals, throwing pick-6's, and fumbling.

Last year ALL season we were so much better when it came to penalties and execution then we were the year before. That is due to good coaching or at least better coaching than we had under Crennel. During the last two years Mangini has turned over our roster brought a much better attitude and more talent to the team. ASnd that is not easy. It is tough to get rid of the bad apples on the team, and end up with the same level of talent or more talent. But Mangini found Roth, and Evan Moore our Qb's are better, our defense is better. Watch Hayden and Ward and tell me honestly that we aren't better. Was the draft perfect? Hell no! But we did upgrade our team and we will continue to do so. At least based on past performance I would have to assume that. Yes we should have won at least won if not both of those games, but Delhomme screwed up, the play calling was bad. And we all know Daboll is bad. But don't forget that Holgren could have let him go and didn't. With three new qb's coming in it would have been the perfect time to do it. This coming draft I see us focusing on our aging dline a better running back and a great wide receiver.
At this point the only thing I am willing to hang on Mangini its that Daboll is still coaching for us. I for one am staying the course at I think we all should back up our coach and our team at least for a little longer. Just because we have really tough games coming up doesn't mean we will lose them. I look for a good game against the Bengals, and why cant we hang with the Saints with our 3-4 d like the 49ers did last night? I am not saying that we will but we might. We are only 2 GAMES IN!
For me Daboll should have gone and we need another year to add more talent. Look at our talent compared to so many other teams. We are lacking in many areas. But we are getting better. I believed it before the season and I still do even if I am pissed that we lost the first two.

The only problem here B57 is that you can't realistically get rid of your OC this early in the season. Mike Holmgren gave Daboll a seal of approval (or at least a light acknowledgment) and I really can't recall a team that fired an OC early that wound up being anything but confused on offense the rest of the year. Last year we saw Buffalo fire theirs in training camp and Washington basically castrate theirs early on. Neither of those turned into offensive juggernauts nor were they demonstrably better off.

Vince Lombardi coaching this team would make no difference. THIS TEAM HAS NOT GOT THE TALENT TO BE COMPETITIVE NOW.
sheesh.....
Actually, it might. I believe to a point that great coaching can and does make a great deal of difference notwithstanding the talent....but it does help to have some talent.
Our past GMs have left this team with a dearth of talent.

I kind of agree.
I think coaching in any sport is over rated from a winning standpoint.
I think their impact comes in helping to prevent losses....if that makes any sense.
By and large the talent the coach has dictates 95% of the outcome as a whole, but that last 5% can impact many games.
Baseball...the manager knowing hitting/pitching matchups
Basketball...the coach knowing end game management
Hockey....the coach knowing various line adjustments to create optimum scoring lines and optimum defensive lines.
Football...adjusting the gameplan as the other team adjusts theirs. The problem with football is you have to adjust early enough.....while a fast moving game from a playing standpoint, it is a slow moving game from a adjustment standpoint. You need time to see if the adjustments are working or not.
Just a rant here....I think hockey requires the most adjustments by a coach from beginning to end....it is a low scoring game with a fast pace from beginning to end. Two or three goals is huge, and can happen in a instant.....baseball is next, but 3 run homers can equal things pretty fast....there are no 3 point goals in hockey.....it's one goal at a time, and no minor points like in football with field goals.
basketball....fouling is a strategy at end game. I don't know of any other game where fouling is a planned option at the end of a game.

I didn't suggest Daboll should be fired now nor do I want him to be fired during the season. I do however blame Holmgren and Mangini for not firing him in the offseason. Maybe he will still improve. I still say our level of talent is the main problem. Its amazing how a Wes Welker and a Tom Brady and a Randy Moss can make a team look great no matter what offensive coordinator they seem to put in place. We have Delhomme, Massoqiou and Robiske. Doesnt really scream watch out for the awesome plays we are about to run.
And for all of those people complaining about Harrison. He caught the league by suprise at the end of last year. They now have plenty of tape on him now. And we still have no deep threat to keep defenses from putting 9 or ten in the box.
And love him or hate him Delhomme had Steve Smith in Carolina and here he has???????????

I don't disagree. I would point out though that we aren't after the "Delhomme-of-old". We want a "Delhomme-better-than-the-two-average-clowns-who-cost-us-games-last-year".

I'm all for Daboll getting fired. I have seen Mangini in his ear more times than I should. i think Daboll is getting trigger happy on a run-first team. And I have said it before, I will say it again, I hate Jerome Harrison. Too many arm tackles and too many fumbles. We shuold have dealt him before the draft.
The defense looks really good though.

Daboll just stinks, he doesnt have any of the intangibles and any coach that would bring a newbie OC to a big job like fixing the browns then vouch for dabs to stay after holmgren came on board knowing dabs sucks deserves what he is going to get at the end of the year as well imho....

Title says it all..
Two weeks in a row and we can't adjust or move the ball in the second half.. We should be 2-0.. but we are 0-2. This season is basically done... Way to go coaching staff...

In looking at the schedule and the murderers row comming up. I see the new coach serch is already being talked about in the FO. Any guesses for candidates? Maybe Mike H. should get back down on the field again.

NFL halftime is 15 minutes..So 3-4 minutes to get everyone to the locker room, you have to give them
3-4 minutes to warm up after halftime..so what are we talking 8-9 minutes maybe..Not a lot of time to
make the "miracle adjustment"
