Sometimes just a fresh face in charge can turn things around, even if it's just a temporary Band Aid while you find out who is available after the season. There should be some young up and coaching coaches for the front office next year. No need to rush DA out the door.

But I do agree with the idea that change to the old ways might be appropriate now. What we have going now is stale and is simply regurgitating Sean Paytons' formula back again.

However, it's too early to make a decision on whether to cut bait with DA just yet. Do you demote DA back to DC? How would the defense react to that?
We can't demote DA to DC or we would have to demote two co-DC's or have 3 DCs. He would have to go. I am generally all for promoting from within but what unit on the team is performing well to deserve a promotion? I feel like we have been disappointing in every area. Doug Marrone has been a head coach but was not very good and his oline unit is stinking it up. The defense is better but the pass rush and coverage are both having an off year. I guess they could interview everyone and see who has fresh answers.

I worry that we will not be an attractive destination to young promising outside head coaches in the offseason because we have no solution at qb, no first round pick or big cap space to get one, one of the oldest teams in the league, the highest over the salary cap, a GM on borrowed time if he is retained, etc. We could only get candidates that have no other offers. However I said before and will say again Flores is a good option. No other team will take him because it would anger King Roger but he can't be more angry at us so it would actually make it harder for him to act out against us due to more eyes and media narrative on the situation. Same reason we should lure JC Tretter out of retirement if he or McCoy could play guard. F Roger.
