Right. The only thing more cringeworthy would be McCarthy saying "in the offseason we're going to focus on scoring more points than the other team".

Isn't reducing penalties and putting your best players in a position to succeed something you should be working on during the game or during the season?

Quinn: Randy just tackled the offensive lineman.
McCarthy: Wait. We'll address this in offseason meetings.
Moore: Conner keeps getting holding penalties.
McCarthy: Guys, seriously stop bothering me with this stuff. We have a whole off season to talk about this.
Random Coach: Hey do you think we should call a timeout before the clock runs out?
McCarthy: Okay you know what, I'm turning the head set off. All questions will be dealt with in the off season. I can't coach the game and make coaching decisions at the same time. I'm only one man.

LMAO!!!!

When Jerry dictates who MM's coordinator will be instead of letting the HC do his job, and Jerry keeps that open door policy with players and hamstring's the coach's ability to discipline and make threats, Jerry did NOT do his job as GM and owner. He meddled, as he always does...and it produced the same results it always does and has since 1995. He's the constant.

Did the coaches do poorly? Yes...but did they try? Because if they tried but couldn't do everything needed because of Jerry, is that on them or Jerry?

Mike Nolan ring any bells?

Joe Philbin??

Ben McAdoo????

All garbage coaches.

He sounds seething on the phone, even five days later. Sounds absolutely furious.

And I love it.

He's also displacing blame I feel. I think he thinks he did his job this season and the coaches screwed the pooch.

"We’ve used up some very talented players over the last few years.”

Everyone was healthy, we hit big on Parsons, we had a lot of key players in the final year of their rookie contracts, and even hit on our el cheapo free agent signings. There will be less talent on the team next year, and less healthy talent ready to play, come the end of the season.

If these coaches couldn't move forward in the playoffs with this roster, why would Jerry, or anyone, think they could do it in the coming years with an inevitably thinner roster?

This year was our best shot, and we laid an egg. Couldn't even take the game after Bosa went out. Jerry knows he doesn't have forever left. We're entering the Jerry Window just as the talent on the team is receding. I'm sure he's extremely frustrated.

the Owner involed in actual game day desicions

What specific decisions

TO, with Parcells

Yes. But. You said "game day." There's no debate that Jerry's made his own talent acquisition decisions at times, and that he, Stephen and McClay have the lead i that area. You said "game day," and I don't believe there's any evidence that Jerry is making game day decisions.

Paying MM 4 mill and telling him who his OC is... Wade and his OC

Not a game day decision. (And to this one, I would add, it's not exactly rare in team sports that GMs reserve the right over their HCs to decide some number of assistants.)

Zeke "Needing to carry it while injured

If true (that Jerry overruled McC), that's big.

no fines for players being late to meetings

Not a game day decision.

on and on and on..if you dont know why are you arguing the point?

I have one game day decision out of all that, and one that I'm pretty certain isn't actually supported by anything any of Zeke, McC or Jerry said that pointed toward Jerry overruling McC on that point... but feel welcome to educate me... my ego can handle it if I'm wrong... I even embrace being corrected.

Pretty sure the “bells” Jerry heard when he interviewed MM was due to MM being a dingaling

The SF win might validate Jerry into thinking changes aren’t needed…..:thumbdown:

That was my first thought--and it's not actually wrong. For sure, if SF goes on to win a Super Bowl, that's going to have to matter to the calculus. Even if they don't, it's going to have to matter. Echoing the immortal words of Denny Green... maybe "they aren't who we thought they were."

I guess Jerry is pissed? I'm not able to listen to it myself right now, interesting.



He sat Connor Williams for a few games and McGovern was horrible. Biadasz improved. Gregory started to get sloppy. Shultz can't block and gets holding calls. Brown was getting PI's like crazy for a couple of games and that cleaned up.

Those are the guys mainly for the penalties.

You need better, smarter players. 3 out of 5 of those guys have no contract now and 4 out of 5 of them are Garrett Guys.

So there's a solution in itself right there.

What was he going to do Bench Gregory, Shultz and Brown? Who was going to replace them?

So the DB coach, TE's coach, Oline coach, D-line coach are all inadequate in their coaching?

Come on! It's the players. They're mentally weak like the coaching staff that developed them and Jerry drafted these guys.

He's not going to fire Mike McCarthy and if he did to keep Dan Quinn as HC and keep Kellen Moore as OC, he's a fool.

Of course he does. What I think makes him absolutely the angriest is deep down he knows he is the one looking worse than anyone else. But he’s too arrogant to be able to admit HE is the problem. It makes him angry that with every passing year it becomes more and more obvious.

What makes him angriest?

I'd say it's that he knows he turns 80 years old this October, and he likely just missed his best chance to win a trophy while he's still alive.

Stephen already said that there won't be any free agents coming over the hill to save them. Jerry is going to keep McCarthy for another year and then go after Payton next year when he is free of the Saints.
From what I have read, Payton signed a contract extension and it ends in 2026. I don’t know where people are getting the ideal that his contract ends next year.

A big percentage of the roster is Garrett guys which includes Dak, Martin, DLaw, Cooper, Gallup, Tyron Smith, etc. it would take a total rebuild to replace the Garrett guys, which is fine with me.
