Re: 2016 Black Monday - Firings
I'd rather make it to the playoffs with a chance every year vs trying to go all in once every 7-8 years. But, if the options are: 2 titles and no other playoff appearnces in those 10 years or playoffs 8-9 of those years and no title, I'm taking the titles every time. But, to my first sentence, I would rather have a team in the hunt every year and hope for that title vs being a favorite in the hunt once or twice every 10 years.

From FootballScoop.com: " San Francisco 49ers: The Niners will pay Jim Tomsula the remainder of the $10.5 million owed to him for the three seasons left on his deal, owner Jed York has confirmed." Talk about a janitor hitting the lotto. Good for him I guess.

Goodness. York must have someone lined up they feel good about.

York is a friggin tool. He's trying to appease the fans by saying "Money is no object." & "We want to win Super Bowls." Supposedly by "paying off" Jimmy T, he's proving money doesn't matter. Tomsula is a good guy but was always hired as a scapegoat. I said from day 1 that guy was no more ready to be HC than me or you are. I hope they hire Chip Kelly

Re: 2016 Black Monday - Firings
Apparently the 49er's GM is aiming real low for expectations of the next hire (by Timesfour standards). His quote after firing Tomsula: "But I also understand the gravity of the situation and understand exactly what this fan base looks for and what this ownership looks for. It’s the San Francisco 49erst’s about being in a position to compete for championships. You’re not going to win it every year. That’s unrealistic to think that. But to put yourself in a position to is really the ultimate...

There had to be a buyout clause with a much lower number. Tomsula must have pics of Baalke and York doing the nasty.

Re: 2016 Black Monday - Firings
49ers stadium was 3/4 full for the second half of 2015. Just a **** team with a **** owner with a **** fan base. Remember when Baalke was the GM golden boy? That guys drafts have been pure garbage. The best player selected on Trents "watch" was Bowman in 2010. I say "watch" because Trent took over in March 2010. Bowman's draft grade was in large part to Scot McCloughan. The best pure talent Trent Pick was Aldon Smith. Ooooops. Other than that the guy has crapped the draft bed in a...

There are a lot of people here that are disappointed with that post.

There are? What is so special about him? He won one super bowl and McCarthy won one. That offense isn't really lighting the world on fire either this year and I believe his team will be at home watching the games this weekend. No tears shed here.

I highly doubt that. 1. MM is not getting fired next week or even next year. 2. Sean Payton was never going to be the OC for the Packers.

From a former Buc GM: Lovie shanked by his own OC. Sticking with Jameis Winston's guru.

Re: 2016 Black Monday - Firings
how come it seems quite a few NFL owners think the way to achieve success in the NFL is to change your HC as frequent as possible? very strange, and stupid, to me with Lovie.

Re: 2016 Black Monday - Firings
Morris- three years Schiano- two years Smith- two years Last three Buc head coaches and it's no way to run a franchise. Need to at least give your head guy a reasonable shot.

Re: 2016 Black Monday - Firings
Maybe it's the other way around. Realize there was a mistake in the hiring and cut your losses sooner than later. The problem is not the firings, it that they consistently hire the wrong person.

Re: 2016 Black Monday - Firings
Lovie might make a good DC for the Packers but I'm guessing MM sticks with Dom.

Re: 2016 Black Monday - Firings
jeeezus, just read that Lovie was fired by phone. what is this 1st grade? surprised they didn't pass him a note, but that would have required personal interaction.

Re: 2016 Black Monday - Firings
Carolina handled it best. They were so bad during Ron Rivera's first 2 years. Look at them now. Tom Coughlin was also less than great early in his stead with the Giants. The players hated him. Once he got his system in place...SUPERBOWLS. All these firings are an indictment of the terrible Tampa ownership. They are making the same mistakes in Europe with Manchester United. They don't give their coaches enough time to succeed. If it takes three or four years to develop a system, by resetting...

Rivera was 13-19 after two years. Always liked and respected Lovie and as far as retreads go Pete Carroll and Bill Belichick could have both been considered retreads at some point in their careers.

Re: 2016 Black Monday - Firings
Supposedly the Dolphins were interested in their offensive coordinator so they canned Lovie.

Re: 2016 Black Monday - Firings
I agree, but only if you have the right personnel. You aren't going to hire Lovie and not run Tampa 2. To make Tampa 2 work, you need outstanding ILBs/MLBs. Guys like Brian Urlacher, Lance Briggs, and Derrick Brooks that are fast enough and can make deep enough drops to take away the seam routes in the middle of the field.

We NEED someone to take away the routes in the middle of the field.

I assure you, Lovie is better off. Good luck building that team after continually firing the HC every 2 years

Re: 2016 Black Monday - Firings
I'd take him as a DC. That would be a hell of a change up in scheme though.

MM mentioned Smith in his presser today. Said nice things. I'd love him to be on this defense.

Re: 2016 Black Monday - Firings
Adam Shefter had a bit where the last non-Browns HC to be fired in the AFC North was Brian Billick in 2007. Since then, the Browns have fired FIVE.

Re: 2016 Black Monday - Firings
It sounds like someone in the Bucs front office called Lovie and asked him to come into the office today for a meeting. Lovie started with the "come in for what?" questions and before long he figured out it was so they could fire him. So he chose to skip the meeting altogether and had the Glazer's can him over the phone. Fair game to question firing a guy after two seasons but it doesn't sound like they called him up and left a "You're fired" voice message.

That's probably how it went down but still. If I were Koeter, I would run as fast as I could.

The Browns do some cool things. They have guys like Kevin Mack and Bernie Kosar go through the business rows pumping up staff. But where it counts they are a consistent mess.
