I don’t think it’s fair to think it’s ridiculous the last three years combined with the fact that we weren’t heading the right direction in key areas after a ton of resources invested. You’re adding Russ years to make your argument stronger. I get people love Pete and for a lot of reasons I do too but it’s entirely ok to think a new coach can make this team better and/or head in a positive direction moving forward.
Geno regressed this year, defense regressed this year and has been bad for YEARS. The cap situation isn’t good, the roster is ok, Pete said he just needed to coach it better when pinned on it and I could go on and on.
Again it’s ok if you wanted to keep Pete for another year or two even if I think that’s baffling, and it’s ok for me, Fade or whoever else to want a change even if you think that’s baffling. We gotta quit remind each other every time and just agree to disagree.
With all due respect, did you mean to respond to me? Because this... does not make a lot of sense as a reply to my post.
I am replying to a statement that says that "any guy they hire at this point is an upgrade over what they've had for the last 7 years."
I'm not adding the Russ years! They were included in the claim I'm replying to!
Originally, and you can verify this as a mod, my post mentioned the last two years only, which is just as valid of a point. I edited the post to include all 7 years for a better, more fair representation of the rebuttal, which added the two losing seasons to my post.
Almost everything you said has *nothing* to do with anything I said in the post you're replying to. I didn't say anything about it being "baffling" to want to move on. That is a totally unfair extrapolation that has nothing to do with my point, which is that yes, it CAN get worse than it's been for the past 7 years.
This is not opinion, this is fact. It does get worse than above .500 football.
I am not a fan of the several implications you made in your reply, and would like for my words to be taken at face value and for my actual points to be responded to. I even afforded Fade that respect when I replied to the *exact* thing he said with an *exact* rebuttal that doesn't harp on a bunch of stuff that I THINK he means.
I'm fine to have nuanced discussions. I do it all the time. But that reply is bullshit, man. Just like the one I originally responded to. The Pete stuff happened and is done. I'm not talking about Pete. I'm talking about the future. You're dragging way, way too much into this.
