Coaching
Lets look at the facts -- big name busts --- penalty situation which shows no discipline -- lack of passion or heart --- face it
At some time or other everyone is going to have to come to the one simple fact -- our coaches cannot develop players or discipline. Look at our history = besides the obvious penalties situation lets jump right to the player development. Brooks -- it may be that coaching is the real reason he sucks. I would be willing to give him another year shot under a different coaching staff. Mayberry -- highly touted big name O lineman. Guess where he played last week -- bench Sullivan -- nothing more needs be said. Lately haslett looks to be as confused as Blanco -- |
RE: Coaching
Why would you give AB another shot when no other coach or analyst covering the league would? How would coaching help him hold onto the ball? How would coaching help him not run backward into the waiting arms of a 25 yard sack? 6 years of the same mistakes? 2 qb coaches and 2 offensive coordinators? Inability to call a play in less than 36 seconds? Can't coach the uncoachable.

Coaching has a lot to do with the situation we are in. Disipline comes from the coaches, game planning - coaches, teaching techniques - coaches. Developing younger players - coaches. One QB isn't going to do much for us unless we shore up the dam. Coaching.

RE: Re: RE: Coaching
Don't get me wrong, I've been calling for a coaching change for over 3 years now. However, during that time, I've wondered wether AB can actually think his way through a game. Given that the offense is simplified for him (a major coaching move) and he still can't perform, still making the mistakes that coaching cannot fix, he's got to be let go. Maybe he can hook up with an arena league team or the CFL, where ego stats are all they're about.

All this being said, his reputation as a starting QB is greatly tarnished here with this team. Bash him or not, Xan is right. The mistakes that Fumbles are making, coaching cannot correct. He is not the right fit for this team. |
RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Coaching
I've got to agree with Euph on this one - the problem starts in the office, then trickles down to the players. We all pretty much agree that AB sucks, but I think he's just one problem in a plethora of problems.
So we need a coaching change. I agree with that. But a coaching change alone won't be enough, IMO. To really fix things, both the owner and the GM need to go. Benson sticks his nose into operations, fires people for making good decisions. And Mickey, well, he's been good with the cap, but he hasn't gotten staff in here that can coach or scout worth a damn. So they need to go. Once they're replaced with quality, we could cascade it down to the coaching and scouting staff, then down to the players. That's when the real improvement will occur. If Benson would just pass the reins to his grandaughter and get out of operations... hope? I dunno. |

Farve isn't carrying the Packers on his back...
Nor Brady... Nor Culpepper I don't believe that our Defense is any better than it has been... watching the games they give up to many big plays and thats the key to defense (DO NOT GIVE UP BIG PLAYS). Its been the Patriots motto. |

I did not mean to say that AB would all of a sudden stop making all of the bonehead plays -- but with his arm it is possible that with a real coach -- who would not coddle him, that would make him study the game, and maybe even help him grow into a leader that he may be an acceptable QB while we built out the rest of the team.

Turk Schoernert (sp) is one of the toughest, hardnosed qb coaches in the league. Sheppard has dumbed down the playbook to kindergarten level, and still we have bonehead plays. If you want a comparison, look at Carson Palmer, or even David Carr. Young, inexpexperienced, etc., yet doing fairly well in the learning curve of the NFL. Vick, Leftwich, Rothleisberger, are three more that come to mind. If you look at these folks in comparison to Brooks, you see that Brooks has had 6 years as opposed to 2-3 by these others and he STILL doesn't come up to the same measure as they do. I watched Leftwich get killed Sunday and he came back and won the game. Batch didn't do badly, yet with Brooks we stumble and bumble along. |

I agree that we need new blood in the coaching staff, and we need to figure out who we could get in Free AGenacy to push Brooks. I'd like to see Harrington or Brees because they have some NFL experience under their belt and would only have to learn the playbook here, but would have knowledge of the game as play in the NFL. One thing that I seriously question is who would you get as a coaching staff, if you don't rid yourself of the Front Office Cancer? Cause if LOOMBOOM stays, whoever is on the field is hosed. |
When Brook took the reigns from Blake, Brooks became the next coming of Jesus... then he still had some toolage from the Packers and a bit going for him, poor coaching and he went down and down...

BonB!
What is the saddest part of all of the whole discussion is that the main culprit of this saga constantly gets a pass. I fault Loomis more than any of the other members of this organization. When Finks left, Mora fell apart until he quit in mid season. Why? Cause his GM wasn't worth a bucket of warm spit. This is proven out in Kansas City where Carl Peterson has Kuhariak by the shorts and Peterson and Vermeil make the big decisions. Loomis is in the driver's seat and I'd bet the car note that he's making most of the personnel decisions based on what he knows best, CAP ROOM. I'm for Loomis being the contract negotiator and cap man, because he's great at that. But he's not strong on football operations. Hazlett is running around looking stupid based on Loomis' personnel evaluations. Why did we get another defensive end in Will Smith when we BADLY need a shut down linebacker? This kind of stupidity makes the defense look bad before they hit the field, and Venturi shoulders the blame for trying to make chicken salad out of chicken feathers. We badly need to clean house, front office, and coaching staff now. They are all contaminated with Loomboomitis. |
