But then you can make the argument that if you bottom out you can easily end up staying there for 5 years. As numerous teams have had that happen also. |

Stroud could always burn out like Watson did. Remember we had morons asking Watson or Mahomes questions

But he went 8-8 three times. If one of those years ended up 7-9, would his reputation really be that tarnished?
It is a bar trivia question.

Obviously, the Texans had a very quick rebuild. That's probably not as realistic. But you're still better off being the Bengals, Chargers, Bills, Jags, etc. and being garbage for a few years until you find you guy. |

Tomlin also hired a string of bad OCs.
And his defenses wasted some prime Big Ben years. They gave up 45 points to Blake Bortles in the playoffs.

I understand it, I'm glad I'm not a Steelers fan, but I understand it.

It's true. That's basically what baseball is now. Where the front office runs the team, builds the roster, has a strong influence on who starts and who plays and when, and the coach's job is just to coach those guys up and manage game situations. It's not hard to see a world where football starts to go in that same direction. It's the general business/analytics evolution of sports. Especially once the guys who do it all like Belichick and Reid retire for good.

A team like the Broncos with a good offensive coach and 1st rd pick that they deemed to be high potential ( ![]() The Chargers are the only team I could see getting through bc I think Herbert is one of the best QB’s in the league and Harbaugh is a top caliber coach.

![]() All you're doing is describing the GM/HC dynamic. Sure, the HC has some say, but the GM is doing exactly what you're saying for the overwhelming majority of the teams in the NFL. And Reid doesn't "do it all". He hasn't since it failed miserably in Philly. Veach isn't a "yes man" GM. Also, baseball and football are two completely different sports.

But McVay, Shannan, LaFleur, Taylor, Steichen, etc. there are plenty of young offensive minded coaches that are doing a great job. I swear you people are absolutely clueless about the NFL outside of KC. |

The last defensive-minded HC to even make into a Super Bowl was Belichick in 2019.

Heck just look at what happened with Belichick. Yeah yeah I know he had Tom Brady but he's probably the greatest defensive coordinator in the past 40 years. Won Super Bowls at every level he's coached and nobody would hire him. That would have been unthinkable 10 years ago. If the NFL really gets into private equity ownership it's going to be a different ballgame. There was just some talk about this last week and the Washington owner saying it's coming, because NFL team values are so high even billionaires can't afford them. |
