New Coach Thread 2: Electric Boogaloo

[FuFuLamePoo]

Anything but Steichen will feel like a minor disappointment to me at this point.

If the next HC is not Wilks, I think the next guy will have a harder time winning over the locker room. At the end of the day the players will have to suck it up and play but we've already seen what happens when the team doesn't buy in (ex. Rhule.) Wilks already has the support of the locker room and team captains, he just needs to convince Tepper and Fitterer that he has a plan for the offense/QB situation. I think if Tepper isn't blown away by one of these young offense coordinators, Wilks will be the guy. 

If you guys were in Wilks position, how would you guys pitch your plan to Fit and Tepper? 

 

 

Don't care about a locker room full of guys who haven't even been to a playoff game. 2/3 of them will be turned over in a couple years anyway if the new coach is worth his salt.

Not that I recall seeing...

Don't recall seeing bere mention Psyton being "out" in Denver. The only thing I've heard him say recently was that he thinks the longer this drags on, the more likely it is he's going back to television.

I don’t have a subscription but according to ppl that have read this, the growing belief is that Payton does not have the lead in Denver.

Passing up a proven winning coach?

Yeah Tepper isn’t serious about winning

I actually went and looked at Indy’s ‘points for’ the other day and in 3 of Reich’s 5 seasons he had more points scored than any season we have had in our history minus 2015

it’s not the coach’s job to impress the players

If the players wanted Steve wilks they shouldn’t have put up yet another losing season 

the players had a chance to have their say and they blew it and now they have will have to impress the new coach or they’ll be looking elsewhere for employment

I imagine that averages out to about 13 points per game then lol

But there’s a growing belief in league circles that the 59-year-old Payton is not the Broncos’ top choice.

 

 

That's why, it's from the article near the top.

Everyone thinks Steichen is the answer just because of one good game.

So would it be wilks with Riech as oc or is that just something Olsen made up?

I believe Johnson would be Wilks’ OC

what an absolute disaster hire steve wilks will be

The thing is if it’s going to be a disaster, I want it to be a disaster in the form of a 2-15 season that gets you the #1 pick. Hopefully in a year with a franchise QB to select. A Wilks disaster I’m afraid will look like consecutive 7-10 seasons. Not good enough to be in actual contention, and not bad enough to secure franchise altering talent.

Not doubting you just curious as to why you say that?  I think olsen may have let the cat out of the bag intentionally when he made those comments.
