Like Flores but not sure I'd trust him with my young QB. Four OCs in three years is not a great look. Think he's a better fit in Denver or Minnesota.

Get rid of everyone else but not the problem at the source.

Why not just get rid of the head coach....what's the point off getting rid of all these assistants and keeping the main problem

Watch Rhule interview the Baylor women's tennis coach for the OL position

That would probably help at this point.

If they're better then what we had, why not?

So what led to Blackburns firing?

[top dawg]

I thought ST made some strides this year. Maybe not. In any event, Blackburn won't be out of a job for long.

Gotta be Tepper not wanting to admit he made a mistake, trying to force Rhule into some semblance of success even if it requires demoting him to head sideline cheerleader.  He did say he saw a lot of himself in Rhule

[Murph]

Speaking of ST here’s an interesting factoid. Zane Gonzalez, Joey Slye and another kicker finished tied for 7th in FG% at 91%. But Slye was a perfect 6/6 from 50+.

Watch Blackburn to be hired by Washington

Flores is a good coach.  The players didn't quit on him even during a lost season and they won 8 of their last 9 games.   I think he'd be an excellent hire anywhere.  

Guy talking about him on NFL Network indicated part of the problem is he's apparently kinda hard to work with. Made note of the fact that he kept firing his offensive line coaches, among other things.

(this seems to be a common issue with guys in the Belichick coaching tree)
