The Big Christian Parker is over his head and needs fired thread *merged*

It has been a disaster now for three straight seasons with three different DCs. The GM just can't put even a mediocre defense together.
 
Not trolling, legitimately wondering…can we salvage this season with this dude as the DC?? He looks completely befuddled and overwhelmed right now and doesn’t seem to be getting any better. Not only that, but it looks like the defense as a whole has (obviously) zero confidence, and might already be tuning him out.

I’m all for taking the time and getting through the growing pains if it seems like the product is improving, but I think it’s clear this defense is not improving and looks to actually be regressing somehow.

Don’t wanna hear about the injuries either- an nfl defense shouldn’t be giving up easy 3rd and 15+’s as routinely as this garbage defense does, among everything else.
Parker has the thousand yard stare down pat. There's no salvaging a season when you give up that many yards on the ground facing an undrafted rookie quarterback. You should know they would be heavily relying on the run, but when he did pass he carved us up. Imagine what a top 10 quarterback would do. The season is over and it's time to look towards the draft next year.
 
Even for the inexperienced DCs who later went on to become great DCs...I doubt they were THIS bad in year 1. It's hard to recover after you expose yourself and field a defense that is lost in technique, fundamentals, and scheme.
 
No sense firing anyone. Let this team die on the vine. No more trades, no need for free agent signings. There were guys like Mcdonald and vrable and ben johnson there for the taking 2 years ago and jerry wanted his Binky coach instead. Shame on me and anyone else who thought for a second, maybe shoddy won't suck.
 
We can;t keep firing Defensive Coordinators. Although I have a bad feeling about this.
 
I’m mad at myself for being excited about this guy. He’s overwhelmed and needs help. He may become a good DC at some point but I don’t have faith it’ll be this season, or next.
 
I will say this
Unlike Nolan and Eberflus...at least he is young and a first time DC.

At this point you gotta look at the FO because this defense has been bad since Quinn left, it also seems the secondary can no longer get INTs since Harris left
 
He isn't getting fired. Not after 5 games.

Find something else to complain about. There is plenty to choose from.
But he should be fired. The defense is the best part to choose from since it's clearly the team's biggest flaw by far.

There's really nothing to lose in dumping him at this point. These guys need a grizzled vet to coach them up or at least change the attitude on defense.
 
If we let him go, who on the staff could take his place, we're surely not going to look for outside help would we?
Like last year with Flus we are truly screwed because we literally cant fire him due to the fact we have nobody on staff capable of taking over. Going to be a long year. We burned all the wagons for this inept kid C.P,....now were stuck.

HC too.
