I would fire Reich at 0-7


Recommended Posts

Yeah, I know we are talent deficient and people say it would be a bad optics to new possible hires, BUT DAMN, PEOPLE!!

A good coach can piece together a win or two over 7 weeks with a poo roster, a la Belichek this year. I don't care what it looks like, any potential candidate would understand that going 0-7 anywhere to start the year would put them on the hotseat.

This is not a kneejerk reaction. This team has been lackluster and unmotivated. Reich also doesn't adjust properly in the second half.

After this team loses yet another game (to the QB we should have drafted), it's time to cut Reich loose and promote Brown to interim.

Anyone with a brain could’ve looked at our schedule and knew 4 straight losses was a very real possibility weeks 3 through 6. 

So my issue is how little they seemed to make use of the preseason. Reich is a notorious slow starter yet he still didn’t bother to change anything. With so many new pieces, coaches/players it’s mind boggling how anyone could just piss away all those preseason games. 

Just zero urgency or awareness really

I get the rationale but it depends on how we lose. Best case scenario is we look much improved with Brown calling plays even if we go down swinging. If it's more of the same and things go really badly I'd ask all involved to leave the stadium and never come back.

If we look much improved on offense, it's going to be hard to fire Frank, only because I think it would be a lot to ask to take over as HC and still be OC/DC depending who was promoted. End of season, yeah. Move on. If it's a blowout, still gotta keep Frank and try to get the highest 2nd round pick we can by letting him run this train off a bridge. We're going to need all the help we can get. Won't make Chicago picking at 1 any better though.

    • See my post edit above, he certainly hasn’t had that lockdown/on an island type of effect. Josh Norman has that type of effect for a couple years with us and I’ll be honest that I haven’t felt like that for Horn yet. Looking at his 2024 stats (https://www.pff.com/nfl/players/jaycee-horn/83375#seasonStatsWidget) doesn’t scream top QB. I think he’s good but I cringe a little when I hear he’s elite when healthy since his most healthy year was when we set a record for points against.
    • Our defense hasn't been elite. That doesn't mean that an individual player hasn't been. All an elite CB can do for your defense is greatly limit the other team's best receiver or greatly limit the passing success to his side of the field if he's a zone guy. There's still a lot of opportunity for the opposing team elsewhere.  I'm not saying he's a Luke or a Peppers. He's not. But I think he's a top 10 CB when healthy. I consider a top 10 CB to be elite. If you have a different definition, that's fine. I'm not gonna really argue where we draw that line or even if you think Horn is saying top 15 instead of top 10. Again, fine. Not really gonna argue that either. All I'm really trying to argue is that Horn is pretty damn good when he's on the field.
    • I'm not saying there's not a place for him here. I'm saying we massively overpaid for his skill set in today's NFL. Both statements can absolutely be true.
