¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I think about 5 or so coaches are canned every year on average. Nothing surprising. There's just some teams on there that have been pretty good in recent years. Usually its the jags, bucs, redskins, browns, Lions, etc.. 4 to 5 sounds about right, the list isnt meant to be anything other than just a way to keep track of who cut ties with their HC. in other coaching news, Dick Lebeau "resigned" this weekend and has already been replaced by the heir, Keith Butler.

catalinacaper Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Looks like Jed York and Elway are in a tug-of-war for Adam Gase. Going to be pissed if York lets Fangio walk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebiglebowski Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 If they can string together some quality drafts over the next 3-4 years I think their offense could become something. They have a pretty good arm in Carr. He ranked 30th in the NFL in QB Rating. Seems to get credit for extra "potential" since his bro was a #1 pick. Hasn't proven anything.

SBarry Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Yeah I'm really not seeing how you can think in 3-4 years the raiders will not still be the team we get side splits from laughing at so hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree. Is Carr the team's savior? The book is still out. There were definitely signs of improvement this year though - potential breakout RB next year, really good, young D-line. I think the Raiders are a lot closer to being a wild card team than they were in 2012. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I'm really not seeing how you can think in 3-4 years the raiders will not still be the team we get side splits from laughing at so hard. Carr is a rookie and on a poor team as well, he will grow and he is much better than his brother was (although I think his brother could have developed into a good QB if he wasn't wasted on an expansion team). Also, 3 or 4 solid drafts make a world of difference. Lets look at the 2011,2010 Seahawks, they were a 7-9 team. Nobody could have guessed their position as being one of the premier teams in the league in 2014 based on how they were then, and if you look back to 2009 it's even worse at 5-11. The entire NFC West was a joke over the last decade before a couple years ago, now it is arguably the most competitive division in football.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 I think its a little unfair to count carr out after 1 season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebiglebowski Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Middle ground -- not counting him out but also admitting that he wasn't that good and Oakland could be looking for a QB in 2016 if he doesn't improve. If any team in the league has 3-4 good drafts, in a row, they will be a contender. That's a lot easier said than done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valeriano Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Could say the exact same sentence about the Jags or Bucs. Exactly, that and the salary cap are the beauty of the NFL, more importantly though, you gotta get the right heads in there. Dallas' success this year had a lot to do with their past couple drafts, but just as important has been guys like Will McClay and the pro personnel staff. Like you said, it is hard, but it's not luck, sure some players will bust, but the consistently good teams are for a reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they end up losing their field general as well I think Denver is going to severely underachieve over the next couple years. I wonder how much the Thomas's are going to cost.

3arl Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 wow, so Denver fired their head coach and they lose their defensive coordinator? Yikes... Its been pretty widely assumed that Del Rio was going to leave for a while, and probably Gase too. So no surprises there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catalinacaper Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Absolutely nuts. Totally underwhelmed. I get that Tomsula "technically" has more experience as HC but if you're going to promote from within why not Fangio as HC and Tomsula as DC? Bye Fangio.
