I don't understand why people think a good or better coach would be around the corner then.
Who goes to a team that is missing a QB, the roster is decimated, and the entire franchise is used to winning and now will be underperforming from the perspective of the fanbase?
A good owner could navigate this. A great QB could attract accomplished coaches AND solid FAs. We have neither.
It feels like we have an owner running this thing like a tax shelter or long-term investment. We will see if the reality is different. But this does not appear to be an involved ownership group. Maybe it gets sold to one.
I agree with much of what you say here.
It's like it's on autopilot until the PA non-sale clause/holdout is complete. It's like they are just maintaining some sort of 'status quo' until a sale.
I've sold a business. Just did a year ago. You do NOTHING when you're about to market. Stability and the perception of normalcy. Cover up all the warts and spackle whatever you need to.
Which, I can't help but notice, is what we seem to have going on here. I think honestly as much as I like alot of the personalities. Needs to be sold. House needs to be cleaned. Even JS. I see videos of him half-heartedly high-fiving himself (tom brady style anyone?) in the draft room after the draft this year - and i'm like 'cmon - trying too hard a little bit?'.
Love a lot. But it needs to be completely blown up. And not just players. I think the entire system is marking time at this point. I also think that there was a sneaky deal for JimmyG or Carr that fell through after/as part of the RW thing. It would explain all the false confidence and the 'don't look behind the curtain stuff'.
There is NO WAY that PC/JS are taking us NEAR another Owl. Those days are done.
Want to see something prophetic? Watch this. Enough said. Reminds me of how Julio Jones ******* ABUSED Sherman late in his stay with us. THAT was embarassing - and so is the video link following - i'll have to find the Jones link - it was horrific.
Again, I'll watch this season - but as I said last year with RW - days are NUMBERED here. You can ******* smell it. I don't know where the next front office is coming from - but it's coming.
