Saints vs Mularkey

SaintsBro · 11-04-2015, 01:02 PM

Statistically over the whole NFL, it is not as big a deal as people think. Interim coaches have a .394 win average. That's not gangbusters impressive.

An unknown quarterback makes a bigger difference than an unknown/fresh coach. People mention Miami as an example, because it is fresh in their minds, but those Dolphins and their interim coach were playing against....these same Titans. Doesn't necessarily mean that they won because they changed the coach four days before the game....

I wouldn't be that dismissive of Mularkey...he's not your run-of-the-mill Interim Head Coach. He's been a HC twice already at Buffalo & Jacksonville.

This is probably his last HC shot...don't count out a desperate man with an underdog 1-6 Titans team.

14-18 record Buffalo
2-14 when he was at Jacksonville....

He is 16-32 career overall, as a head coach, and you're scared of him? What exactly has he done as a coach or coordinator, that has impressed you? Has he been anything other than run-of-the-mill in any of these places? Yeah he won some with the Steelers with Cowher a long time ago but their record went progressively backwards every year he was OC. /shrugs/

Teams like this on the road beat overconfident, picked-to-win teams in their house. We'd better check ourselves.
