Reich v. Hackett

[Bear Hands]

Thinking about coaches fired year 1. 

There's other guys you could point to like Tomsula, Meyer, Chud, & Wilks, actually, quite a lot in recent memory...but Hackett is the freshest.  

How does this compare in lack of competency? 

The in-game decisions recently (i.e kicking, not knowing who's on the field, etc.) made this seem eerily comparable.  Hackett somehow got to week 16 at 4-11 before being canned.  

If Reich lasts this week, we've got 8 games left.  We'll likely be 1-9 headed to Nashville to face Will Levis and Derrick Henry.  If not this week, when do we hit eject? 

And our we experiencing what could be argued the worst coached season in NFL history? Does this compare to Hackett, Kitchens, or Tomsula yet?

Reich makes Hackett look like Bob Walsh and Dan Shula.

That idiotic decision to try a 59 yard field goal reminded me of hackett’s debut on MNF against Seattle last year where he opted for a 60+ yard kick over going for it on 4th. Reich has been absolutely terrible and has earned his pink slip if he gets it.

Similar huge misses on QBs and team building. IDK, I didn't watch much about that trainwreck.

reich is giving hue jackson a run for his money

I think Reich's decision was correct, tbh. I'd absolutely take a shot on Pineiro just burying one over Bryce picking that first down up. 

Shows you what the team really thinks of Bryce right now, when they're not talking poo for the media. 

Also from his reaction it was pretty clear that Pineiro told him he didn't have that kick lol.

worst record in the league and no first round pick?

And the boss's wife making trades in the draft room so she can feel like part of an NFL team.

Don't forget the cherry on top; meddling ownership! I really don't even see how we're going to attract anyone to this place. Probably just get stuck with another uninspired retread or an extremely green up and comer that had no other options. Late Al Davis Raiders style!

i don't know that he's the worse in the league even right now, but he's bad. and he made his wife an active part of all of it as well...which isn't in itself necessarily a bad thing, but do we know anything about her work history or background that qualifies her to make any decisions? i mean she's kind of a mystery.

it's just not a good situation at all.

I think you roll with an internal guy like Deuce or Evero through next year.  Then you can do a full reset if you don't see any results.

There is literally no team in the nfl that is worse then us or has been worse then us since dave and nicole bought the team.   His wife meddling in a nfl franchise is fuging insanity.

evero isnt taking an interim job, in fact I doubt anyone of note would especially seeing how wilks was treated

The fact that Tepper's wife is somehow running any part of the team is a tremendous red flag.  She is completely unqualified.  Fire Nicole.  Hire someone like Kevin Colbert to run the team.  Let him put his FO together, carte blanche.  Fire whoever, hire whoever.  With that done, let that group decide if firing Reich is the right call.  The further away the Tepper's step, the more likely success is to follow.
