To be honest, I am having 2nd thoughts about resigning him but it has nothing to do with his behavior, a sore issue for many fans. Just think if we end up drafting in the top 5-10, getting another 1st and 2nd rounders for him could fix this team quickly.
He's maniacal for sure. Pickled, and vengeful at heart. I do think losing is killing him inside, hurts his pride and ego deep. Which is why he's doubling down on the foolishness after a loss. But he knows the truth. He's simply letting things play out so he can make staff changes next year. That's always been the case since the GB game last year. A part of Jerry died that day along with his pride. It's an indictment of his poor decisions. He will never cop to it. So he doubles down. Reality is, he kinda expected this. It's hurting him more than we know. Only because he's the man in the mirror. He's a prideful,bitter, vengeful man. Always has been. Look for MM to mutually part company before the year is out. After we lose next week, it will become a reality.
Correct, but that's not how he see's it. He's living in his rinse and repeat world, living on names/stars over ability and the hope he can luck on a (compliant) HC that'll get the best out of the plethora of JAG's.
That's how smart GMs would approach that golden goose. Teams can easily scheme Parsons out of a game because the rest of the D is awful. Avoid his projected salary, get a couple of high draft picks for him, and now you have hit the reset button with good odds of coming out in a better position to compete. They could also use the cap savings from not having Parsons to get some FA talent on board.
Yep, he's vengeful in that: why spend on an offence where he's just shelled out $90m+ on the passing game and an O-Line of 2 first round picks in three years.....he ain't spending on a RB.
Yep, dead right, but can you see Jerry trade a star, he doesn't have the vision, just blinded by star names (= financial making ability).
I don't like to give Jerry any credit for having any forethought but keeping the lameduck coach and making him eat this year so the next guy gets a better cap, a higher pick and a lower bar to get over, coming off a 6 win season does make sense... still say its a fluke, not a plan.
and unfortunately, he also thinks Stephen is the second smartest person in the room.
That’s assuming these idiots draft correctly. I don’t have a lot of confidence they would.
Exactly. Which is why he stubbornly doubles down in an arrogant way after each loss.
If Stephen is the second smartest person in the room, then he is standing in an empty room.
Agree 100% but we have to look past 2025........it couple take of years. I mean why not extend MM ( three 12-5 seasons ) for continuation if you don't have other plans?
I will play Devil's Advocate and say no one knows more about hosting rodeos than Stephen Jones.
