If nothing else, it shows competency to put Baker in a position to succeed where he failed previously. That's kind of a good thing.

I swear you guys are just looking for excuses to get pissed these days.

He was the Seahawks OL Coach when they went through a stretch of absolutely putrid OL play.

Guys, Tom Cable kind of really sucks. Seattle fans absolutely hate him from his time there. Why do you want him?

How are you feeling about it? Interested to see how you all feel. Will be a fun look back in a year or two.

Dude, we were going to stink next year REGARDLESS of who we hired. Harbaugh and Vrabel aren't coming in with this roster and no first round pick and turning it around immediately.

Dave Canales

So wait a minute. AFC South coach has an overall win% of .550 Gets fired relatively unexpectedly because of a disappointing few seasons Panthers interview said candidate and get hyped to hire the re-tread... We did this exact same poo last year guys. Dan really is Scotty 2.0

I'm not going to make fun of anyone for being optimistic, you do you. I'm in a "Give me a reason to even care" state of mind.

I think if we are hiring Canales, we're hiring him for the culture more than anything. By all accounts he seems to be a great communicator/motivator and that's something our last two coaches were not good at. Rhule was a charlatan and the players could see through his BS. Reich was a doormat. Canales seems to be cut from the same cloth as Pete Carroll in terms of communication, so that's probably what's enticing about him.

You're right, let's judge him based on the team's record since he's been hired: Woof

So straight up, when I get put in charge of doing stuff and I have no idea what I'm doing, I crowd source ideas in such a way that it becomes a collaborative effort and I spread praise around when we reach a conclusion. If things blow up, I get to go "Welp, we ALL agreed but it didn't work out, no one to blame, let's move on". And no one gets mad at anyone, we just are disappointed it didn't work out. But I know I covered my ass. Fitt is me frfr

Nothing in that article inspires confidence for what we are doing moving forward.

I just cannot in any way shape or form get excited for anything this team does right now. The best I can do is neutral, as opposed to "fug everything about this". Can't get disappointed with neutral. Can only be impressed.

It was said numerous times across numerous reports that Fitterer ran a collective/"collaborative" Environment and Dan was his right hand man, so to me at least, that says Dan had strong input in how the roster was constructed the past few years.

Or, you know, Harbaugh didn't want to talk to Tepper in the first place because our roster is a dumpster fire. I get we don't like Tepper, but Harbaugh might be Will Smith's Dadding us right now.

Yeah I'm gonna go even further and say that's a bannable offense. I know it's hard for some of you guys just don't be dicks about the injuries.

I can only hope we can bump this thread in three years and laugh at how wrong we all were. Hope he is a good GM, not holding my breath.

So in your opinion they SHOULD waste more assets on another QB when they already have one under a rookie contract (That already cost us a ton of assets to acquire) as well as a proven vet starter who has a history of being solid and no first round pick this year? That's some Fitterer roster building logic.

I can't write Bryce off yet. I know tons of others have because they're reactionary, think they know better and want to be right, but I can't. Gotta give him next year to prove if he has it or not. The situation was screwed from the jump and literally no one looked good in our offense not named Adam Thielen. Bryce is the QB so he is the punching bag, but he doesn't deserve all the crap he's getting from the fan base because he was far from the only thing wrong with us this season. If he sucks next year, then he sucks next year, we reassess in the 2025 draft. No reason to keep sending good money after bad year over year with QBs. Ride it out with Bryce and try and fill out the roster to surround whatever QB we end up using going forward, but do it competently this time around.

I still am. They were still competitive with a ton of injuries top to bottom and managed to put up some good games with a UDFA italian american stereotype. They were hampered by talent, much like us, but they still managed to string multiple competent looking outings together throughout the season, something we couldn't do.

Well he helped put together the worst team in franchise history. No one comes out smelling like roses after that.
