Why don't we make mid-season coaching changes?

[beastson]

But others do? Will this continue with Tepper? 

Cause if so, I do see it being a problem especially when it's warranted. Never forget Ravens fired their OC and went on to win the SB. Why does this organization wait until the building burns down to make changes?

It all honesty it'll be wrong to fire Washington because he shouldn't even be our DC. You mean to tell me nobody up top can force Ron to take over the defense, let Washington go back to the DL for the rest of the year? They're just going to allow this to continue? If the standard up top not set, it's not going to trickle down

Other than that one example, usually when you fire a coach or coaches midseason, the season is lost. While we pretty much believe the season has now been lost, there is a glimpse of possibility they can right the ship. But firing someone would pretty much be sinking the ship. Also, who do we replace Washington with at DC?

I’m guessing (hoping) Tepper is more of a scorch and salt the earth kind of guy and will likely clean slate with his franchise at season’s end. 

It’d be nice of Tepper to send a message, but like you pointed out, Washington is another of Ron’s poor decisions bearing no  fruit and with Norv being a first time OC the likeliest of candidates who should be fired is Rivera.

Just an unfortunate mess all around 

[Camp Fodder]

So do you think at the very least Tepper is asking Ron what the hell is going on?

[Pantha-kun]

Teppers letting the season play out and just evaluating. If we lose out im guessing  theres a high. Chance there will be a lot of turnover in the coaching staff

[Mr. Scot]

It's generally a "give up on the season" moment when you do that, and there's usually not much gained,

[countryboi]

as much as we all would like mid season coach firing, the reality is they rarely help. this team is what it is and the problems we have need to be fixed in the off season.

Most teams won’t fire a coach if they’re mathematically still in playoff contention, it makes no sense to. 

Why Ron doesn’t take the playbook from Eric is a mystery to me. He has to know his job is on the line but refuses to take over the defense. Maybe he knows there’s no fixing it and will make himself look worse by calling the plays.

The increase in blitzing against the Seahawks make me think Rivera at least had a hand in the gameplan this week. It was working early on but the Seahawks adjusted, which made those early red zone failures that much more painful.

We are still above .500 at 6-5 right in the thick of things for a wildcard playoff spot. 

I don't care how sick of your head coach you are, you don't fire them under that situation. 

Mid season firings are for the dumpsterest of fires and teams who have no chance of making a playoff push. 

Like it or not, we're stuck with Ron until the end of the season.

I can live with that.

If we're stuck with him beyond that though, that's when I have issues.

[TheRed]

Didn't the Ravens fire their OC, and go to the playoffs a few years back?

The theme with the Carolina Panthers has always been being content with mediocrity until it's too late.

[raz]

done wonders for the browns.

hopefully we dont have a "lame duck" coach next year
