Early NFL offseason chatter

[Mr. Scot]

And also...

Sure didn't see that coming

Edit: So far Florio seems to be the only national news source reporting this. Have seen a lot of 49er fans talking about it but nobody outside of Florio reporting. 

Can't say if this is legit or not. If it isn't, I guess Florio got suckered

Here's a surprise...

Remember when he was a popular head coach candidate?

Yeah this a surprise!

[Mr. Scot]

For the record, I've seen multiple sources confirming the stories regarding Bobby Slowik, Pete Carroll and Liam Coen. Still no one other than Florio talking about Robert Saleh.

And yeah, Liam Coen is a dick

Meanwhile, a guy who interviewed for our job, Bobby Slowik, was just canned in Houston. I thought he did a good job.

Now that is a horrendously stupid move

QB plays below expectation?  Hit the road.  QB plays above expectation?  Congrats on your Head Coach gig.

Its not even that.  The oline and injuries decimated the team and they still won the division and now you want your 3rd year qb learning a new system? Doesnt make sense unless I am missing something

I wasn't trying to claim it makes sense.  That's just the way the league seems to work now.  Last year Slowik was getting HC interviews.  This year he's fired.  Stroud just didn't play as well this year.  Is that his fault?  Maybe?  Maybe not.

Baker got 2 guys HC gigs in 2 years.

I got you man.  The league is nuts and can turn on you quick it seems.  Yeah I dont think strouds play was a result of the play calling and I watched a ton of Texans this year and last.  It was just clear guys were going down left and right and the oline was fuging brutal.  I hope they fired that coach as well.  That said somebody is going to snatch BS up real quick

He'll get another shot for sure.  FWIW, I thought Stroud finished pretty well for a sophomore slump type season.

That's hilarious about the Bucs OC.

Unfortunately in the NFL teams always find a scapegoat so I'm not shocked to see Slowik was made the fall guy in Houston. I imagine he'll bounce back somewhere. Some similarities to Joe Brady.

I echo the confusion and dumbness of firing slowik. Now CJ will learn a new system and set him back. They had a rash of injuries on OL and WRs, but whatever's...

I swear the NFL is the worst about job security.  If you're not Mike Tomlin, John harb, or Andy Reid.....you're going to get fired within 2 years.

From what I read the offense in year two was extremely predictable and stale, even the players, including Stroud, were complaining about it. He also apparently insisted on the C to do the line calls instead of Stroud. So it looked good on the surface to everyone on the outside, but inside the building a lot of people were unhappy.
