Anyone here remember all the people uninspired by Macdonald's hire?

"His personality is too quiet"

"He doesn't come off as a vocal leader"

"He doesn't have Pete's energy" etc...

How are they feeling now? Where did Macdonald's "quiet personality" get us?

I'll name one name, Dayna O'Gorman. Heard her on Hawkblogger, saying pretty much those things when MM was hired. Rolled my eyes so hard at her takes. Who TF cares that he doesn't have Pete's energy, he's not Pete. Let Mike be Mike, be patient, and see where he takes the team.

Had to get that off my chest.

That’s right, I’m going there.
Despite having the face of an angel and a body sculpted by Greek Gods, I’m afraid that I’m going to have to pull the pin and call for the firing of head coach Mike Macdonald after the first game of his second season.

Now, I know some of you will get very upset at this post. Some will think I’m trolling, others may ignore/block me. To each their own.

Unfortunately, I’m at the point where I’ve lost confidence in the guy.

I could excuse the hiring of Ryan Grubb last year. Coach Mac and Schneider wanted to find a creative way to utilize Metcalf, Lockett and JSN, and they thought after Grubb’s success at UW with Penix, maybe this would be the guy to jettison Geno up to the elite category of QBs.

As we all know now, that clearly backfired. Where I blame Macdonald, however, is his unwillingness to restrain Grubb during the season. He kept citing his “time management” difficulties for not focusing on the offense.

Well, that’s too damn bad. You’re the head coach. Your job is to manage time appropriately. Your job is to hold your coordinators accountable. Your job is to be proactive, not reactive with an obvious weak leak in the coaching chain.

Macdonald kicks Grubb to the curb after the season, and rightfully so, only to bring in Kubiak Jr. Why Klint Kubiak? Was it because he’d actually fall in line and be more of a yes man, as opposed to the dancing on tables shenanigans of Grubb? Potentially.

That’s what has gotten me to the precipice of stating such an outlandish and quite frankly outrageous suggestion as to call for the firing of Mike Macdonald. One game into the regular season, we saw what Kubiak was capable of: mediocrity. He was outschemed and outmatched by Star Trek villain Robert Saleh, resulting in a loss that NEVER SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED!!

Now, the team is 0-1, going a measly 1-7 in their last 8 home games, allowing baby faced Purdy and his half a team to waltz into our house and throw 2 interceptions, lazy ducks and walk away with a W and an injury designation. UNACCEPTABLE!!

Therefore, I’m left with no choice but to throw out this truth bomb that apparently only I can see and call for the firing of Mike Macdonald, simply because of his inability to find a competent offensive coordinator. This is an offensive league, and he’s allowed that side of the ball to go to hell. I won’t stand for it!

This ship is sinking, my fellow 12s.
It’s time to start throwing dead weight overboard.

What....What is the problem? Do you still feel this way right now? 14-3 record number 1 seed.

I don't like that Hawkblogger show with these clowns, but I do remember this. That O'Gorman broad claims to like defense or whatever....So, O'gorman, what is the issue? what's the problem with Coach Mike.
