[quote=NC_Skins;871186]Danny Smiths firing is long overdue.

Different players, different coaches, same crappy results.[/quote]

If he was kicking field goals or kickoffs, I would agree with you...

We just need a little more consistency there and the ST are g2g in my opinion.

Re: Coaching Changes
 

i could se danny smith just because hes been here for an eternity (in coaching years).

i dont think the hasss gets the can. our D did improve from something like 30th to 14th currently . . or something like that, im sure its been mentioned in here. didnt we alos set some kind of record for skins single season sacks like 7 weeks into the season? (even though since our QB pressure has been pedestrian). maybe we just matched last years sack total 7 weeks in . .

while there wasnt much more room for suck coming into this year and he can suck my ball sack for that non-disguised all out blitz call against the cowboys on a 3rd and long, id keep him around to continue the process.

Re: Coaching Changes
 

Too many blocked field goals this year. It might be time for Danny Smith to find another home.

Well he does vacation in S Fl in the off-season with the Fam. He books some serious Backwater Glades/10K Islands fishing time with a guide friend of mine.

Or until the owner fires him which is what the rumors are.

[quote=Lotus;871685]Too many blocked field goals this year. It might be time for Danny Smith to find another home.[/quote]

I would agree with that. I mean damn, when you think that 5 of Gano's 10 misses were blocks, that's crazy. Plus he had an extra point blocked as well. And if memory serves me right, I think all of the blocks came up the middle. It looked like the Eagles had 6 300 pounders lined up right behind each other on their block today. It was like trying to kick through the Great Wall of China.

Re: Coaching Changes
 

gano was fine this year. ST kinda sucked overall though. Any time we really needed a play, they found a way to fail.

banks did nothing all year, but kick coverage was pretty good.

Kyle Shanahan firing up the troops right before the worst performance of the year and making franchise history by finishing last in the division four years in a row. William Wallace has nothin on this guy. He looks like the guy that does my taxes.

Re: Coaching Changes
 

If Fisher goes to the Rams that's a very good thing for us. He's got a good relationship with Shanny so it will make dealing a little easier. He also has experience with molding QB who are similar to RGIII coming out of college in McNair and Young so he may be more willing to deal Bradford which will be cheaper for us than going up to get RGIII.

Bucs fire Morris and entire staff

Re: Coaching Changes
 

It's been reported no way Danny Smith gets the axe.

Re: Coaching Changes
 

[quote=skinsfaninok;872131]Bucs fire Morris and entire staff[/quote]

Yeah you really can't lose 10 in a row in the NFL and survive. That team completely quit on Morris.

Re: Coaching Changes
 

Rams fired the HC Spags and the GM.

Who's reporting that and if true, then the rumors about the Redskins' making changes with their coaching staff (didn't I read this here) would be who? Jim Haslett? Kyle Shanahan? Position coaches?

Re: Coaching Changes
 

What if...... the big announcement is MS is leaning more towards the front office job and giving his son the HCing position? and if this happened could it be one of two things:

1- MS feels he's too old or out of the loop and wants to take more of a back seat with out all the hours?

2- or could this have been the plan all along... MS takes over the team for a couple of yrs, then hands it off to his son and still mentoring him from the front office?

^ wouldn't it be a bomb shell if it happened? But I doubt it does.

Chris Russell.

Re: Coaching Changes
 

Can we start a rumor that hopefully comes to fruition?

MS is going to give up the HCing gig and keep the Exec. Vice President job.
KS is going to be named HC.
P.Manning is being hired as OC and will work with the QB's.

That's the worst scenario imaginable. Best case scenario Kyle leaves without drama.

Re: Coaching Changes
 

I saw Caldwell may have been let go late last night. Also, Jeff Fisher is their top choice to replace Caldwell, which is all good news for Manning I would have to imagine.

Did Peyton Manning just pull a Kobe?

Re: Coaching Changes
 

Fisher is a great choice. I would take him in DC in a heartbeat.

Holy Dingle Berries!! Bill Polian great guy and an even better eye for tallent. Met him one time and he was very polite in answering my dumbass questions brought on by waaaay too many coldies when he should have told me to f off.

Re: Coaching Changes
 

From I've heard there was a lot of tension between him and Manning. And Polian may have burned some bridges in Indy.

Re: Coaching Changes
 

So what does this mean now with the Polians being outed in Indy and Andrew Luck?

Re: Coaching Changes
 

Funny now Fischer is the man. lol. He was rumored to be hired by the Bucks by next week now there's rumor the Colts might hire him.

colts WON'T let manning go it's just not happening unless they trade him and with his $ sit, wont be easy.. This will be the BIG? of the offseason

Re: Coaching Changes
 

Yea, the slim chance of us trading to number 1 is out of the question now. New regime in Indy will want to have a franchise QB for the next 15. Polian might have been willing to trade to get a few more draft picks to take a couple more Super bowl runs with Manning.

Re: Coaching Changes
 

This is total speculation on my part, but last night on NBC Tony Dungy, who is close with Bill Polian, was saying that he wouldn't just assume that the Colts will take Luck at #1. He said given today's NFL, he'd have to take a hard look at RGIII with the top pick.

Maybe Irsay knew that there was a chance that the Polian's would pass on Luck? Or maybe Manning's tension with them came to a head? Who knows.

[quote=CultBrennan59;872245]So what does this mean now with the Polians being outed in Indy and Andrew Luck?[/quote]


It probably increases the likelihood that Peyton Manning stays in Indy. Not to say that they won't draft Andrew Luck, I think they will.

me too, I figured we'd find a way to get him before gibbs and before zorn were hired. he seems like such an obvious choice. not that i see it happening.
