Doug Pederson takes over the Eagles last year, they go 7-9, and now in his second year they're 9-1. Andy Reid takes over the Chiefs in 2013, after they went 4-12 the year before. What does he do?
11-5 in his first season. Pete Carroll takes over Seattle in 2010 - they go 7-9 two years in a row and then they land Wilson - no fewer than 10 wins in any season since.

If you've got the QB then a good coach can make a difference immediately. So that's the question - do we have the QB? No doubt in my mind that Cousins is the guy but will he sign here if Gruden is gone?

Get Cousins under contract long term, then find the next coach. That's where I'm at.

Fuck off with this continuity bullshit, it's a farce.

How many of those teams have a Bruce Allen or a Vinny Cerrato in the front office? You can keep rotating coaches like we have for the last 20 years, and never hit a home run with any of them because of the front office.
