Whisper..... billacheck......Broaddus must be hearing the same rumors that others have heard about a very big name HC.
Bill Parcells? Chuck Norris? Kelly Clarkson?
Billicheck would trump Meyer, who would be my second choice.Urban Meyer and no one else is close.
We suck so bad I don’t want us even anywhere near the playoffs.I don't think he has to worry too much about Richard saving the season..IMO and I don't think if would be a good idea to just "fire at will" with a possibility of being at the top of the East "Least" with 4 games to go after Sunday. Win or lose the Eagles are going to be second. Think about this, as bad as we have been we are still in it to win it! Would it be easier to stomach if we were in last place?
Garrett should’ve been fired in ‘13.he was in the building every day and got stuff wrong everyday. He got people all riled up back in 2013 saying he was told garrett would not be brought back if they lost to the Commanders. He gets all this kind of stuff wrong.
Honestly— I don’t see this team doing much with or without Garrett this season. The philosophy, schemes, and personnel packages will be in place regardless— so while firing Garrett would feel good and may cause a brief uptick in performance— it doesn’t suddenly turn this team into a legit contender.
At this point— the bed has been made— we have to lie in it through the end of the year. Barring a miraculous turnaround and highly unlikely playoff run and NFCCG berth— this is Garrett’s last ride.
He gets to go down with this ship. Either underachieving and utterly failing in his last year— or writing an improbable comeback story.
Either way— I will watch with morbid amusement as the good ship lollipop continues its fateful 10 year journey
If it didn’t come from Bryan Broaddus, I’d have written this off to comedy. So now he thinks that Jerry is afraid that Richard might actually save this season and then he’d be stuck with him? Really?
Keep in mind this comes from someone who worked at the Star for the past four years.
Bill Parcells? Chuck Norris? Kelly Clarkson?
Jerry: "It is my privilege to introduce as coach two-time coaching champ, and I should think soon-to-be three-time coaching champ, Kelly Clarkson. And I can think of none better than Chuck Norris, the first war daddy, to come lead our special teams and bring his unique Delta techniques to bear on the field for this team."
Besides which, promoting someone from within and having them win would fit perfectly into Jerry's "I want credit" M.O.It depends on what you mean by "doing much." We don't know exactly how much his choices have affected the outcomes of the close games that we've had. Maybe with a better coaching decision or two in New Orleans and New England or against Minnesota and those games would have turned out differently. Suddenly, you have a 9-3 team that has beaten three winning teams.
I think the philosophy and schemes need work, but I also think not making a coaching change because it might not make any difference at this point is the wrong way to look at it ... and I'm talking more about Jones than I am you. Jerry has said that Garrett is the best chance this team has this season of winning a Super Bowl. Based on his history, Garrett has no chance of winning a Super Bowl.
I don't buy into this idea of not putting someone else in charge because he might do so well you have to keep him. The Joneses don't have to keep anyone as coach. Letting Richard, Moore or Marinelli take over for the rest of the season only means you are dissatisfied with what you got and want to allow someone else a shot before making a permanent change in the offseason, because you still do have a chance of making the playoffs if someone can get the team turned around. The value for the coach who is picked is that it might land him a head coaching job elsewhere if he does a good job with it and the Joneses have someone else in mind.
Besides which, promoting someone from within and having them win would fit perfectly into Jerry's "I want credit" M.O.
I'll take Chuck Norris!! He can "karate chop" a player coming back to the sideline after a bad play, instead of the usual slap on the butt we see now.Bill Parcells? Chuck Norris? Kelly Clarkson?
7) Richard would demand accountability from the players and coaches.If I had control of this team, I would fire Garrett and elevate Richard to head coach. My reasons would be:
1) Richard has been mentioned as a head coaching candidate in the league. Why not figure out if he can do it?
2) We essentially have two defensive coordinators, so Richard would more easily be able to oversee the whole team than other in-house candidates while Marinelli runs the day-to-day of the defense.
3) Obviously, change is needed. Garrett has made several poor decisions that have contributed to our losses. Having someone else creating his environment and making different decisions could give this team the bump it needs to get over the hump.
4) Promoting from within allows for those wholesale changes to not be made until a permanent coach is put into place, so the players don't have to learn new schemes.
5) Although a lot of interim head coaches fail, some do succeed and some of those who fail were coaching teams devoid of talent.
6) Although this team is 6-6, it still can win the division and get to the playoffs if it can turn things around. Going the same direction it has been going is not the way to turn things around. Trying something different at least creates that chance.
He might have to roundhouse kick some of the bigger guys, but that's okay, he won't be wearing cleats.I'll take Chuck Norris!! He can "karate chop" a player coming back to the sideline after a bad play, instead of the usual slap on the butt we see now.
