Black Monday: NFL Coaches and Executives Carousel

If your GM hires the wrong guy, I'd say that's ultimately on the GM. Should Snyder have over ruled him on hiring Zorn? I thought we want Snyder out of making decisions like that?
SIR.....I prefer to pick and choose my truth's..........preferably out of context.

ConfirmedWoohoo!

Best wishes to Danny Smith, going back to his birthplace in Pittsburgh?

Here's to Shanny / Allen finding a good ST coach to replace him!

Yes he should have over ruled him cause it's common sense. If you have Gregg Williams or Jim Fassel sitting there wanting to coach your team, and then you have a quirky career QB coach sitting there, who are you going to hire? Sorry but the QB coach isn't even in the running. They both wanted a puppet and they got one. He should have fired the GM for even suggesting Zorn.

I just can't wait to kick the shit out of Chip Kellys little college/pro team. I think he is gonna find out its hard to run that tempo on offense when you only have 52 players instead of over 75 in the college ranks.

Maybe we can bring Spurrier back and play the Eagles on Saturdays?

Hire Brian Mitchell as the next ST coach, I would say he knows some special teams play.

You know what, that sounds like a very good comparison.

Spurrier lit up the NCAA and it simply did not work in the NFL, after preseason of course.

I hope Kelly has the same experience in the Pros.

Spurrier failed because of personality not scheme.

One thing about Kelly I have notice that he talks about the NFL very differently than Spurrier.

When Spurrier came up, he essentially said "My system will easily transfer to the pros" and really didn't make an adaptations to it or his style of coaching on arrival. He really thought he could just play "pitch and catch" like he did at FSU.

Kelly has already said that he can't transfer his style of play, practice and preparation to the NFL without changing it (Can't find the link now but essentially, he said "If I run practices the way I did at Oregon, I will have a great track team but a lousy football team.").

As FRPLG said, Spurrier just did not have the personality to succeed as an NFL head coach. Not saying Kelly does, but, IMHO, it would be a mistake to compare him to Spurrier.

Well, his schemes struggled big time in protection.
