lulz

 

I got beaten up on this board for calling him out on that

[Happy Panther]

Jerry took a chance. He sabotaged a season (or a few) to get the collective bargaining agreement done. He took a hard-line stance against anyone who got in his way and came off as a crotchedty old guy. He was insulting and dismissive to players, fans and the media.

 

You do that and then provide us with a playoff team then all is forgiven. You do that and provide us with 4 years of a shitshow and people tend not to forget

And I as well...

And I agree with your subsequent post as well, but can't multi-quote from my phone. The thing that is even more infuriating than giving us a crappy coach and team following the lockout is sticking with it when the guy is proven to be a failure time and time again over his first two seasons.

People kept saying give him the benefit of the doubt, coaches have to learn and improve too... but, he was doing stuff that I have never seen done before in regards to mistakes. The dude literally called a timeout for New Orleans to allow them to kick a FG they wiukdnt have had otherwise in his first year, lol... you can't make that stuff up!

So again, for him to even have been brought back for a 3rd season is a joke. And yet, I'm not supoosed to believe it's financially motivated to keep him on? I promise you with 100% certainty, once Rivera is gone, he WILL NOT EVER be hired as a head coach AGAIN. EVER. But, that's where we are as a franchise... that guy is our coach.

JR is really getting on my nerves. Rivera should've been fired at the end of last season. This season was doomed from the beginning after we

 

A) Let Rivera stay instead of letting Gettleman choose his coach

 

B )Promoted Shula instead of getting a competent OC

 

C) Completely ignored the OL and CB positions in the offseason

[Panthro]

I dont think he went out in search of a HC with a low budget in mind i think his thought process was he wanted someone with an experienced defensive mind to come in because JR has always been about the D.

 

Who was available when we were hiring that was a high value coach?

 

That sounds like the problem. Why is the owner making that call? WHy does he care if it's an offesnise or defensive coach....because he is a meddlesome

I see you'd much prefer being 7-9 every year

Harbaugh wouldn't have come here in a million years.

Kelly will be as successful as Spurrier was in the NFL.

Richardson isn't the problem.

Well, yes actually he is the problem. It's fuging glaringly obvious that he is the problem. He's cheap and only hires ass kissers.

Jerry Richardson is not cheap.

Conspiracy theory:

 

*puts on tinfoil hat

 

JR has Rivera tank close games to damage fan support, then asks for more civic contributions, further damaging fan support and building a bigger case to relocate to LA

 

*takes off tinfoil hat

[Stroupe-a-loop]

People that want to call JR cheap are lazy. He spends tons of money on this team. He might be dumb, but bringing up how he didn't spend money one offseason over and over again is gettig really old.

[PhillyB]

<--------- used to defend JR not so very long ago

 

 

can't do it anymore. he's proven to anyone willing to notice that he cares far more about protecting his bottom line than providing fans with a good football team. winning is great, but it's secondary to him, icing on a cake of money.

harbaugh turned down a blank check to coach the dolphins that offseason.  he wasn't coming to an east coast team unless it was like the new york giants or patriots or something.  get over it, richardson's comments or "cheapness" didn't keep him from coming here any more than me saying that i'm not able to flap my arms and fly is keeping me from doing that.

I could make an argument that he is cheap a lot easier than one where he is dumb.

 

He is brilliant actually. He has found one of the few business models where he can make money while delivering a shitty product.

[carolina-chuck]

I hate JR so much now. The man was clearly not like this before his heart transplant. I don't know what happened to him.
