But some are, so it's def. up for discussion. You're absolutely right, it's gonna' take time. Expecting a 1st year coach to just dominate from the jump is just plain unrealistic.
Mael, say this with me. "WE ARE REBUILDING" keep saying it. It will get worse before it gets better that's how rebuilding works.I would generally agree.
But if this season really goes down the shitter... say 6-11 or 5-12...
I mean, I'm probably giving him the Mora treatment if that happens. Honestly.
I will not say that. You know why I won't say that?Mael, say this with me. "WE ARE REBUILDING" keep saying it. It will get worse before it gets better that's how rebuilding works.
this team isn't that talented at all.I will not say that. You know why I won't say that?
Because this team is not rostering like a rebuilding team, and it has far too much talent to be a rebuilding team.
You can say that all you want, but this isn't a rebuild. There's no surplus capital. There's no "blowing it up."
That may be what you think, but they objectively have 2 star-level corners, great DL talent, 3 proficient edge rushers, a DECENT quarterback, a great running back, and a very good WR trio.this team isn't that talented at all.
This seems like a deflection, but sure. He's showing cracks after being sold out by his supporting cast for 3 seasons running.Why not lump Geno into the problems with this team. He looked horrific yesterday, just like he did against the Niners.
that sounds like a rebuildThis seems like a deflection, but sure. He's showing cracks after being sold out by his supporting cast for 3 seasons running.
He also drove them down the field with a 9 for 9 drive before Connor Williams yeeted it 5 yards over his head. Did it again and got his foot stomped by Connor getting an absurd amount of depth.
After that, he was pushing because he was playing from behind and needed to make things happen.
Doesn't absolve his worst plays, but is yet another example of the team being a putrid failure around him.
Agreed. There does exist a level of performance where even a first year head coach becomes the focus of an investigation into the root cause of a problem.I would generally agree.

I'm not deflecting anything. He has looked brutal in 3 of their 4 losses.This seems like a deflection, but sure. He's showing cracks after being sold out by his supporting cast for 3 seasons running.

JS doesn't do rebuilds, ie, complete overhauls. He does "reloads" and has been doing it for years. His patchwork strategy and approach is why the talent level on this team is where it's at today.that sounds like a rebuild
This is his first year. He inherited a winning team full of talent, not a super bowl contender. Just be patient. In 7 to 10 years, he will have this team competing for a wildcard playoff spot. Be patient.
That doesn't mean it isn't a deflection. Deflections aren't lies.I'm not deflecting anything. He has looked brutal in 3 of their 4 losses.
If we're firing Carroll, it would have to be for a better coach.
If Carroll went 9-8 with this squad twice despite actively terrible OC/DC choices... I mean..
Mac's got a lot to live up to. Carroll made the playoffs with a roster that was just as talented, maybe slightly less so.
I'm not expecting a Super Bowl performance. I do need to see signs that something is actually being built, though. And, yes, to Soulfish's point - I am a fan who is not inside of the team. I cannot say for sure what's happening in there, so my statements are aimed toward "if people in the building determine that nothing is being built, then I would be in agreement with those people if they decided to move a different direction."
That's. Not. What. I. Said.Wait, it's just coaching and he's not a part of the problem? Ok
