Poll time: Fire a Coach Edition

Can't we see how the season plays out before we start calling for people to be fired?

How dare you bring logic to this thread.

How dare you bring logic to this thread.

My apologies for thinking rationally

You're right. The Peyton Manning colts opponents feared our pass rush with Dwight Freeney and Mathis. Who do we have in Year 4 of the Grigson era on defense that put's fear into the offensive opponents game plan. I'll wait while you research. smh. If Grigson brought in so much talent on both sides of the ball? WHY in the heck are we still facing the same problems.... It's a FACT. Grigson drafts Luck, TY, Allen, and Fleener first year. One hell of a draft.

Next year we give up a first round for a bust in Werner, and trade our 1st pick for another bust in Richardson. We get a chance to grab the DT from Texas or maybe Collins the safety from bama and we wiff on that. smh. What do we do instead... Solidify the strongest position on our team WR with Dorsett who would've got picked up in the 2nd. Those types of decisions kills the building up of a team. But go on and blame Pagano for the decisions the GM has made.

Its called BEST PLAYER AVAILABLE!!!! Do YOU NOT understand and have you not heard that this is how Grigson and Irsay go about drafting, as well as most other teams!!! It's not draft to according to your needs. Dorsett was that BEST available according to our staff. And Brown has looked rather unimpressive so far. And decisions like drafting for need and settling for less talented players can kill your team. We do NOT draft according to need and we probably never will. So you might wanna get that in your head or you're do for constant dissapointment year after year. The draft strategy has been made very clear.

There would be a few different candidates that I would consider. First would be Brian Xanders the Senior Personnel Executive for the Lions. He was the Broncos GM form 2009-2012. Second would be my favorite, but a lot would disagree because of age. Eliot Wolf is the Director of Player Personnel for the Packers. He would be young to be a GM, but he is considered a rising star in the business. He is the son of legend Ron Wolf. There are tons of candidates out there, but I trust Irsay in doing what should be done. One thing I can say we have a owner that wants to win more than anyone!  

After doing some research on the candidates available I came away with two candidates that I liked a lot. If we do go with a new GM I am hoping Mr. Irsay's first call is to Kansas City to talk with Chris Ballard the Chiefs Director of Football Operations or Baltimore for Eric DeCosta the Ravens Assistant GM. I think both of them would fit in and do nicely here. I like your choices as well, but yeah Wolf may not be a popular pickup with the media or fans due to his age and lack of experience compared to other candidates.

Give me Kyle Shannahan and a new GM. Over the cliches and crap play calling. Need a lot of new blood to get this organization on track.

The honeymoon isn't over yet. He has a history of starting off well, and then things go south.

Hey, remember when we kept putting the ball in trent hands even tho we knew he wasn't going to move the ball? Just wasting downs? Matter fact, what did we ever do with Josh Cribbs? This staff is horrible. How many years of these kind of moves do we sit here and watch? Right now, wins might hurt more than losses. We win, they keep this staff. We lose, this staff is on the bubble. Sometimes things have to get worse b4 they get better. Let's be honest here, it don't matter if we make it far bcuz if we do. We will get out coached. I would put $ on it that an elite team coach would out coach ours. So, at the end of the day, u have to improve that area. Unless u wanna just keep beating the division every year and losing in 1 of those playoff rounds. Pick ur poison.

[TrueColt!]

Our coaching staff has old football philosophy. In this world, u either evolve or get left behind and we're slipping behind a lil bit. These defenses now are sharp, new schemes. Like, look how fast Def coordinators shut that wild cat stuff down. Then the read option stuff. You have to have new philosophy. This old stuff is not working anymore. In the days of Michael Jordan and Jerry rice, 1 man could hold a team down. Not anymore. Have to get playmakers everywhere. Like today, pagano almost loss the game on that old philosophy. Who ices the kicker anymore? Get ur old stuff outta here man. He almost made that 2nd 1. New philosophy is, don't give them a practice shot and this fool goes and gives them another chance. So sick of this staff man.

Fire Grigson. Dude had one good draft. Luck doesn't count either!! Luck was Irsays decision. Donald Trump could've been our GM and we still take Luck!!

[rock8591]

Grigson had 1 bad draft in 2013, otherwise it's been great.

 

2014 - Mewhort, Moncrief, Newsome

2015 - Anderson, Parry, Geathers, Dorsett

 

Polian on the other hand had tons of horrible drafts the past 10 years:

 

2011 - Anthony Castonzo only

2010 - Jerry Hughes only, not even with team anymore

2009 - Pat McAfee only in round 7. Otherwise, it was a disgrace. Donald Brown and Fili Moala in the first 2 rounds.

2008 - needs no mention.

2007 - traded a 1st rounder to get Tony Ugoh. Rest of players (Anthony Gonzalez, Quinn Pitcock) lasted 1-2 seasons with team.

Grigs isn't responsible for the team coming out flat in the first half every game, sub par in-game adjustments,penalties, crappie fundamentals, etc. This is on coaching.
