Fit and Morgan: SHOULD they stay?

[CanadianCat]

I'm all in on blowing up the coaching staff, but I actually really like what Fit and Morgan are doing. 

I think he has been hamstrung by the fact he was hired after Rhule and the final decision goes to Rhule but I love they way he approaches the draft and how he continues to look for value. 

I think he should be given the chance to hire his own staff and make the accountability start from there.

I think our roster is built pretty well, with a few exceptions (QB obviously, giving up draft capital, etc.) so I'd give them a shot to stick around with a new HC. However, if we want to go after a Sean Payton or Jim Harbaugh and they want full control and/or to handpick their own front office then by all means. I suspect either of them would be fine with Fitt/Morgan staying initially and if it wasn't working out after a year or two then they'd be replaced but for proven NFL coaches like those 2 I'd give them whatever they want.

The one thing I wish Fitt would do is value early round picks better. A 3rd round for CJ Henderson, a future 3rd rounder (which will likely be a top 5-7 pick in the round) for Corral...these are premium picks that shouldn't be wasted on marginal talent. Other than that, I do like being aggressive and trading mid-to-late round picks for proven vets like Gilmore and Shenault.

Fire Fitt and promote Morgan to GM.  Look at the Eagles or Lions OC as our next HC and I will be happy.  Harbaugh would be great, but I don't want any more of the full control bullshit so if that is a requirement then it's a hard pass for me.

Agree with T96.   The roster is a pretty good unit with some young guys that could also become stars.  The glaring problem is obviously QB.   

 

Fitterer deserves his lumps because he was involved in Sam and Baker deals.     But I think he has built a roster that's worthy of having a shot with a real HC.      

 

I say let them both stay.

Fitterer is the reason Morgan is here.

We don't really have a choice. I would love to clean house and hire a consultant to hold Tepper's hand but it's F&M or he is doing it himself or with whatever bozo is left in house at that point. We kind of need to keep them either way. 

[LinvilleGorge]

With Rhule having final say and without knowing really how much input they've had on personnel decisions it's pretty much impossible to say for sure. I lean pretty heavily toward no unless inside info says this is Rhule's clown show, they've tried to provide good guidance and he's ignored it to do clown show poo.

[Jon Snow]

Morgan yes. Fitterer I'm indifferent with.

The trade for Henderson was excellent value. If we had drafted a starting CB in the 3rd round you'd call that a success right?

I've been a big fan of most of what Fitterer has done.  He's put a lot of talent on this roster for relatively little compensation.  This coaching staff cannot get it together though.

[Growl]

do we really wanna lose another rising star executive prodigy to another team, especially one with such fond homegrown roots

 

scott fitterer was with Seattle for a while and nobody but us sniffed around him

he was willing to be a subordinate to Matt rhule

he was the battery behind the Sam darnold trade

just clean house

 

[45catfan]

Who was the real trigger man on the Darnold, Mayfield and Henderson trades?  Remember Rule has more pull on the roster decisions than Fitterer, which is crazy.  Even if Fitts didn't like the trades, could he have blocked them or all he could do was try to get the best value out of them when told to acquire these players?

[The Natural]

Overall the roster is very solid and he did a masterful job revamping our offensive line in a single off-season. We're not lacking in talent. Our problem is coaching. Give Fitterer a chance to choose his coach.
