You see him smiling and joking with McVay after the game? The Dude just wiped the floor with you
Threw up in my mouth when I saw him giddy as a school girl. And, actually, McVay wasn't smiling and was just being sportsmanlike. Looked like he was trying to get away from the grinning fool.

People forget Sean Payton had play calling duties stripped from him when with the Giants. Coaching is a craft one must improve every year too. I don't mind aggressive Garrett, and you can't argue that guys don't play for him.

I would argue the Rams pummeled the defense into submission on the first drive and they never recovered.

LOL.

Didn’t we make changes last year?

How many times are we going to change assistants and the roster before we realize the problem goes beyond that?

Holy crap, we might be the dumbest franchise in the NFL right now.
Well said. There’s only one thing I disagree with....”might be.”

Too many people overreact. 24 hours ago it was “Super Bowl!” “The drought is over!” “We Dem Boys!” “Hot Boys!”

Now? Garrett sucks, Marinelli sucks, Dak sucks, Richard sucks, trade Zeke, blah blah blah!

They’ll make a few changes, but don’t expect a “Full Makeover”. With OL troubles and a fourth round QB in his third year, we won the division and a playoff game. It didn’t end well, but barring major injuries, with a few tweaks we should be in contention again.
Drink up!

JG is our Jeff Fisher. Middle of the road coach who is more often than not going to finish around 8-8. Jerry loves him so unless he gets promoted to front office we are stuck with him. I just cannot see him winning a SB with his 1990s mindset. Just too conservative in this modern NFL.

-----If the team stands pat. Fans are mad. If the team makes changes. The fans are still mad. Me thinks you just want to be mad.


WRONG.....you severely underestimate how much people want rid of Richie Cunningham, and how at peace they would be to actually have real hope again.

Jerry has some serious rose-colored glasses going on. He thinks we're like the Rams offense when it couldn't be further from the truth as we saw yesterday. Can't remember the last time our rushing attack flat-out destroyed a good defense like that.

Based on the last month, is this a good thing?

We have the most over-rated secondary in the NFL. Can't force take-aways, gets roasted at the wrong times and takes terrible angles in run support. I say overhaul the whole thing ASAP, see what Jourdan Lewis can give you in Byron Jones' spot and sign a free agent to compete with Chidobe Awuzie.

Who would join this staff with the coach on a one year deal?

Either sweep the whole staff or give Garrett am extension.

Can't be neither

It's pretty clear to me. Jerry, not Garrett, will continue to swap out assistants until he "hits" on his "Jerry mix" - the right mix of assistants that are able to coach this team well enough to win it all in spite of the HC. Linehan and Moore are the last holdovers from the last "team" of assistants installed while Jerry was searching for the "Jerry mix."

The core requirement for these changes is that Garrett remains in place, thus, allowing Jerry to be de facto coach.

Jerry's quandry is two-fold:
  • If he changes Garrett after holding on to him through all the talent that has passed through, enduring and ignoring all the repeated mistakes and failures from the HC position (game management, team preparation, etc.), and the team goes beyond the divisional round, and, Heaven forbid, wins the Super Bowl, ALL PRAISE will rain down on the new coach for FINALLY turning the corner after Jerry "wasted" so much time trying to make Garrett into something he's not, i.e., confirm Jerry's no football guy and for sure all the 90s teams were Jimmy specials; and
  • The next HC will not be a Garrett "so happy to be here" special. The next hire will be more in line with traditional coaching hires, e.g, prior coaching experience, etc., and will want to have some of the basic empowerments of a head coach - publicly discuss who plays, pick their staff, etc. Jerry can't sell another flunkie that will allow him to usurp his authority.
This is why he has, and will continue, to tirelessly swap out all the assistants to find the right "Jerry mix."

The defense was great against Seattle and ranked 7th in the NFL this year. Give him a year or 2 to have some personnel input and we should get a lot better.

You got a better option? lol
