Firing your coach midseason


AceBoogie

Recommended Posts

There has been a lot of talk about there being no reason to fire your coach midseason. So I dug up this article that actually shows there is a slight increase in winning percentage when a coach is fired mid season.

Mid-season firings are relatively uncommon in the NFL. If an NFL team fires its head coach, it's a pretty sure bet that it wasn't going to the playoffs anyway, but on average, teams did win just a little bit more often. That might mean a difference between 4-12 and 6-10. That difference matters to fans.

You can read the whole article here

I don't think there's a point honestly

I think the moment you know that your going to fire him then you should go ahead and do it. He still gets paid and you send a message to your fans that you aren't going to put up with his bs anymore.

If the season is over in damn October again then as a fan and season ticket holder I shouldn't have to look down on that sideline and see stoic Ron trying to save his job by actually coaching the way he should have all season. That's what he always does.

Two years now we have been fooled by the late season push. No wins going into the bye week is unacceptable.

It completely depends on how much JR is actually involved in the decision. If he has indeed gotten older and is wanting to further detach himself from the personnel decisions and he's given Gettleman full control- something he has never done with previous GMs- I wouldn't put it past G-man to shitcan Rivera at the bye.

 

If JR is still calling the shots from on-high, I doubt seriously we have no choice but to agonize thru yet another brutal season of coaching ineptitude. JR is simply too old school and conservative to make such an aggressive move.

untill the players stop blowing assignments or making huge mistakes............I'll stick w/ my HC.

 

there's a little truth to your comment, but I think what it comes down to is that the HC and FO aren't putting players in situations to win. 

 

that blown coverage at the end of the game still doesn't excuse the fact that a rookie QB marched 80 yards.

If 4-10 and 6-10 are my only choices, I'll take 4-12 and the better draft pick.

 

lame. 

 

Better draft pick? the first 4 picks of the draft are probably going to be 3 QBs and Clowney. 

 

I'll take 6 wins and drafting 8,9,10. We still will be able to fill one of our needs.

ohh, you mean NOT BEING PREPARED....bring on a new HC....

You can't give a HC slop and when the slop can't get it done....blame the coach for it all.

Gettlemen deserves blame for not upgrading at OL and CB positions.

Talent issues still exist

The real blame is JR (bargain hunting at the dollar general, to include our HC that was passed over 9 other times, hmmm) and "Hurney magik", this is Gettleman's 1st year in this mess (he gets a pass this year).

    • i think i go in the opposite direction of most. my ideal retirement is living in some old downtown area in a flat above some shop or something.  life out in the country was just something i got real tired of. My kids actually miss some of living out there, which i understand. that was where they grew up for the most part. 40 acres with a 2.5 acre pond. it was beautiful, but also way too much (and too expensive) for me to keep up with. 
    • FLASHBACK: I remember back when ESPN was just starting--he was their anchor.  They used to show stuff like Rodeo and field hockey--I remember laughing when he went to a commercial mocking a cycling competition in Utah (or something similar--I made that up) and I laughed.  I told my dad, "We may have us a new anchor when we get back from commercial."  When they came back from commercial, Berman was looking very serious and he said, "Any comments by me do not reflect the views of ESPN....The men and women who cycle are dedicated athletes and we are honored to shine light on their sport." (Paraphrasing).  Dad laughed hysterically. My first memory of him--and that was like 1980.
    • Might not have a team without them. Although that probably applies to the Panthers, too.
