    Why would a coach the caliber of Lovie Smith want to come here and be a fucking sock puppet with Banner and Lombardi's hands so far up his ass?

    He fucking wouldn't.

    We're in the same situation we were with that fat fucking walrus in charge. We're getting a Shurmur quality coach. Fuck this front office. I refuse to support this team in any way if McDaniels is the next hire.

    because he'll get paid that's why.

    @the-gipper said:

    There are only 32 of these jobs.....and they pay 4-8 million dollars a year.

    Chud is getting like 10 million to go away.

    THAT is why he would take this job.

    Boom. Told. The guy has a knockout résumé and a shit ton of money from his previous coaching gig. He doesn't give a shit about the money, he wants to go to a winner. There were about 6 other vacancies, unsurprisingly he didn't end up here.

    So, I ask the question again - Why would anyone with any premier talent want to come here and be a sock puppet with Lombardi and Banner's hands up their ass?

    The best we can do is McDaniels at this point because the Banner, Lombardi and their cronyism. I can't fucking wait for the guy who ran off Cutler and Marshall for Orton and Tebow to be our next head coach. I'm sick of these Belichick castoffs being put in charge of a team. It just doesn't work.

    Mangini - Garbage. Failed in New York and Cleveland.

    Crennel - Garbage. Failed in Cleveland and Kansas City.

    McDaniels - Garbage. Drafted Tim Tebow. Denver fucking hates this guy. His former players fucking hate him.

    Savage - Garbage. Failed in Cleveland by spending too much money in FA.

    Pioli - Garbage. Failed in Kansas City by picking up failures from the 2007-2009 Cleveland Browns.

    Schwartz - Garbage. Failed in Detroit. Immature idiot who wastes away the talent of who was once the best WR in the league.

    These guys only ever succeeded in supporting roles. They won't amount to shit as a head coach.

    Haslam is going to go to prison, McDaniels is going to lead us to another 5-win season, and all the talent we've accrued will leave in free agency at the end of 2014. The list of players with expiring contracts includes the following:

    Haden, Rubin, Taylor, Sheard, Groves, Cameron, Skrine, Gipson

    We might be able to make up for it with all the draft picks we have, but that would require us to hit on at least 70% of them. Lombardi's first draft isn't looking so hot right now. Oh yeah, Alex Mack is as good as gone.

    Fuck this front office. Fuck them so much.

  • rather be under the Parcells/Belichick coaching tree than that of holmgren.

    you want to blame anyone with this season blame it on that fat fuck from green bay/seattle. ruined 2 franchises for decades within 5 years.

    meanwhile he'ssitting on his yacht sippin pina colodas.

    hate the FO under jimmy too. but what ya gonna do when the man that signs the checks is still in your corner?

  • Smith is off the board.

    A Buccaneer.

    Maybe Belichick himself is garbage. If not for having Tom Brady as his QB, can anyone really say he could win they way he has?

    Didn't even know Schiano got fired. Going to be a lot of openings to fill. The strong candidates have to be looking at Banner and Lombardi and no QB and saying "No fucking way".

    Zombo

    --If we go back to a 4-3 defense after spending all that money on Bryant, Kruger at al, I'm going to shit.

    Six open jobs as far as I can tell:

    Browns

    Bucs

    Lions

    Redskins

    Texans

    Vikings

    Any others? I seem to recall Jason Garrett being told that another 8-8 season would see him fired, so maybe there's something there.

  • like lovie smith. no problem here.

    i say rehire mangini and rob ryan.

    Not sure about Mangini but I do wish Rob Ryan was our DC again. I was not happy when he left after the Mangini firing.

    Believe me, I have a ton of hate for that fat walrus. Up until last week, the only person I hated more was Art Modell. Well, Banner and Lombardi are moving into that second position because they're putting us in literally the same position that Holmgren did when he was in charge. We're setting up for another 3 years of failure, and we're going to be stuck with another Pat Shurmur. We deserve so much better than the three stooges.

    @the-gipper said:

    I don't think so. They had 7 playoff appearances under Bledsoe, and still looked respectable with Cassel under center.

    Those playoff appearances with Bledsoe were not with Belichick as HC (it was with Parcells) But let's look at his record:

    Cleveland: :

    1991 6-10 Kosar primary QB....

    1992 7-9 Mike Tomscak primary QB

    1993 7-9 Vinny Testaverde primary QB

    1994 11-5 Vinny Testaverde primary QB

    1995 5-11 Vinny Testaverde primary QB

    New England

    2000 5-11 Drew Bledsoe primary QB

    2001 11-5 Tom Brady primary QB

    2002 9-7 Brady

    2003 14-2 Brady

    2004 14-2 Brady

    2005 10-6 Brady

    2006 12-4 Brady

    2007 16-0 Brady

    2008 11-5 Cassell

    2009 10-6 Brady

    201o 14-2 Brady

    2011 13-3 Brady

    2012 12-4 Brady

    1013 12-4 Brady

    Bold means no playoffs.

    With Brady at QB BB is 12-0 in terms of winning vs. losing seasons.

    Without Brady BB is 2-5 in terms of losing seasons.

    (and by the way, the QBs he had in his losing seasons were not complete slouches: Kosar/Testaverde/Tomscak/Bledsoe)

    BBs teams only ever made the playoffs one time when he did not have Tom Brady at QB: 1994 with the Browns and Vinny.

    So, is it the coach or the QB. This trends toward it being the QB.

    ONLY in 2002 was Brady the QB of his team and it not make the playoffs.

  • I think lovie smith will make that defense significantly better in TB.
