Bill O’Brien axed. Titans fans’ bad week continues.

 

[tapintoamerica]

So they have to make two interim appointments, right? One for head coach and one for GM?

 

[User 149557]

Maybe do this before he trades away a franchise wide receiver.

When is Jerry Jones the owner going to fire Jerry Jones the GM?

 

[Neutral Corner]

About the time that Jerry Jones the owner kicks the bucket.

When is Jerry Jones the owner going to fire Jerry Jones the GM?

Cowboys fans have been asking that question for a couple decades now.

O'Brien's "ascent" within the organization, after the old GM was bounced seemed odd. I wonder what is going on within the franchise. Also tough with a coach/GM situation when the coach can't tell the player, "if it was MY money, I'd pay you but the GM...."
Not a bad coach, but not good enough (esp. in that division) to warrant the power.

Gotta be tough being a football fan in Texas these days.

Titans!? Am I missing something?

 

[User 149557]

I understand the appetite for steadiness and organizational alignment. But they entrusted all that in...Bill O’Brien?

It made no sense.

Texans’ future is brighter w/o him.

I think O'Brien is actually a pretty good coach. Yes, it was a crappy division for a long time but he won it 4 times in 6 years and got second place one other time. His years remind me of Mike Sherman with the Packers. Decent coach but, once he got the GM role, he lost his way.

He'll land on his feet, probably with another franchise. Jets, perhaps? Bengals if they go 2-14 or 3-13? I don't think the Lions will go with another Belichick Tree.

Then he can ruin the prospects for another Clemson QB CIRRRRRRRCLE OF LIIIIIIIIIIIIFE

Also, I’m not sure Beav was ever a good coach, even with the Packers. More than a decade with Rodgers and one Super Bowl?

Good coach? I'll accept that. But obviously bad dictator. I mean, if I'm the owner, and I hear the coach/GM wants to trade Hopkins, my immediate reaction is to fire him before he can.

All those years where he would take the ball out of Rodgers’ hands in the playoffs. 2009 Arizona. 2014 Seattle. 2015 Arizona.

McCarthy coached very scared in 2006 in his first year. As if he knew he wasn’t up for the job. By 2007, Favre caught this second wind and really played within the system to get to the NFC Championship.

What people don’t bring up often is the 2010 Packers were the 6-seed. Got in the last week and Rodgers was incredible. Woodson and Raji leading the defense. However, in the playoffs, Rodgers would get them a lead and then McCarthy would try to run the clock out and the lead would dwindle.

Brainus fartus. Deleted that post.

I see six firings:

O'Brien
Quinn
Gase
Patricia
Fangio
Marrone

I don't know that there's a lot left to learn about the Mike Zimmer era in Minnesota, but I'm not sure it'll end. Joe Judge is a joke of a head coach, but he'll get another year.

That run was all Rodgers being unstoppable. He was damn near flawless in the Super Bowl in spite of a bunch of drops by his receivers.

What are the odds the Browns accidentally send out a pre-scheduled tweet that their head coach has been fired the day after the regular season ends?

It’s not remote, is it?

And then the gavel falls on Judge? Jury dispatches Judge to executioner ?
So many possibilities.
I was looking this up. Looks like the most common time for firing is after 8 games — in part because it’s the obvious halfway Mark and maybe because it coincides with a bye week.
