Scott Turner Fired

[sdskinsfan2001]

Our team, with no other changes, has a 99% chance of being better next year simply by replacing Turner. So today was a good day:

And don't forget having Snyder out of the picture will be a big plus.

No one from Kyle's staff is coming here. It's going to be really hard to get any top guy to come run the offense. You don't have an established QB first off. Second you already have Ron saying we have to run the ball - so you're going to have this fossil thinking coach leaning over you if you throw 2 passes in a row. Then you most likely have a lame duck HC and a new owner. Just not a recipe for any OC trying to make their way.

Our 2 choices are likely an old retread that can't say no or a younger surprise candidate that bumps over a stepping stone to take the job. Give me the younger guy with a smile on my face.

It'll probably be Zampese. That's my guess. They're probably not going to change the offense around and change the terminology.

That’s my guess too, plus he has the last name. He’ll pick someone loyal to him, a yes man.

I really really hope you're wrong.

You should know Rivera by now, he likes to play it safe and work with people he trusts. Don’t see him being adventurous.

He is from the East Coast. He might believe in Howell. Hell he is doing it with Brock Purdy now. We certainly have weapons. He is always going to be in Shanahans shadow there when people think about the offense. Can be the top dog here for the offense.

Slowik is intriguing, but he has no ties to RR that I can tell, so I'm not sure he's on the short list. Could be good though if he'd even be interested.

RR better hire someone who can get this offense rolling though, or he's sure to be gone by mid-season.

I have very limited confidence Rivera will do it. But he fired Turner, so maybe he'll shock us again.

Even a stubborn ass like Ron has to understand that his ties have been a failure both on the staff and on the field. If he wants to save his job long term he needs to think outside the box. Especially when it comes to the offense. Slowik is looking to be an OC not a passing game coordinator who answers to the HC. I really hope someone in our organization has him on the radar and makes it happen.

As far as the running game is concerned, going with Howell as the starter could add as many as 500 yards on designed runs and scrambles.

Good riddance IMO.

I get the feeling next season will be weird anyway, depending on the timing of the sale: does it happen before the draft, after the draft, or next offseason all together ? Anyway Ron will still probably be there so it still won't be the fresh start we're yearning for.

Also, with how many of us bitched about Turner not running the ball enough, I don't understand the fuss over Ron's comments. Howell has one good game and suddenly we want to be Kansas City's offense ?

KC's offense is way out of reach - because we don't have Mahomes or Andy Reid coaching this team. Just saying Ron's comments sound like someone preparing for a game manager QB who can hand the ball off 30 times a game and can only win games by controlling the tempo and dominating time of possession.

He has the opportunity to build the roster and coaching staff in his image - and his image is not something that has won many titles in the last 20 years.
