That’s historically all time level bad. But did anyone truly think not signing a single NFL caliber FA and bringing everyone back from another historically bad defense was going to be better??
This is Mike/Katie Brown and Dick…errr….Duke Tobin at their finest.
I can’t even be mad at Taylor. His offense put up 38 points…and lost.
Look up how many times that’s happened in NFL history. I bet it hasn’t happened much.

Coaching changes: coaches hired and fired, comings and goings

I have an honest question for all of these ADs who’ve fired their coaches mid season, and some who have been quite successful. Who do they think is walking through the door and going to do better immediately? These firings are going to set most of these programs back YEARS, and these decisions were made to appease some millionaire donor who doesn’t know the difference between an X or Z receiver, or even what A Cover 4 defensive scheme is.
Honestly, Day may have one of the best jobs in America with how the team is set up. He easily could’ve been on the chopping block last year, but that is moot now. Idk of another coach in America with a better set up for their future. DeBoer is another loss away from getting shown the door, if Cristobal can’t win the ACC his seat could be scorching and if he sees 2 losses next year he could be gone. Cignetti is the only other coach who has an ice cold seat. But he’s at a basketball school, and he could fall down to a 7 win program and they’d still love him. No one Else has that luxury. Panning having 2 losses a year and he could be canned. The climate that has been created isn’t realistic

AD cans a coach it typically buys the AD at least a couple more years to see if “his guy” works out.

I'll admit to being that one.
Thought it was a "good" hire (wasn't my first choice).

Seriously, if Miles and O can win titles here ....

Kind of insane Les Miles had a better record 4 years in than Saban

huge difference in the programs they inherited.

Saban took over a team that was 7-15 in the two years prior to him being hired
Les took over a program that was 22-4 with a National title in the two years prior to him being hired.

Yeah I get that. But then why even bother with Flacco? If that’s the take then put the roomies in from day 1 and live with it. If you’re going to spend the draft capital then play them.

None of it makes sense, but I think the goal was for Pickett to be the guy this year and see how it went, since he's still young. They couldn't keep 4 QB's and he was hurt the whole preseason, so they went with Flacco to see what the team could do with a vet. If the season didn't go well the vet would get them through the rough schedule in the first 4+ games and they would see what the rookies can do. Sanders might be up after the bye since Gabriel hasn't shown to be the guy. The biggest problem is that the starting OT's are out, so the line sucks, and to make it worse, they are probably going to have to replace the whole OL after this season. The WR room is garbage as well, but might be fixable with a true WR 1 in the draft. Might as well trade Gabriel for Ewers and a 5th rounder so we can kick the tires on another rookie QB and Gabriel can go to his natural role of backing up Tua.

No QB is going to fix this dumpster fire of an offense, so I would look to fill as many non-QB holes as they can this offseason and give Gabriel/Sanders a second year to see if one of them can break out with more talent around them. Give me Downs and Tate in the first round and use the rest of the draft on the best OL available.
