Coaching Changes

NC_Skins

Why would you want a owner that had no background in coaching/player evaluation making the tie breaker? He would be better off flipping a coin. At least Ross was smart enough to stay out of it...lol

Or Fisher is old school (in the good way), which he is, and believed Ross would respond favorably to his maturity, methodology, and "magic" over Ireland's pedigree.

Ultimately Ross' decision to go "advantage Ireland" is probably the make or break decision of his first decade of ownership. Was Fisher's "underachievement" basically a result of facing the two greatest QBs in pro football history in every post-season for the past decade? Has Ireland learned enough from Parcells to achieve Parcells-like results? Or, if both Fisher and Ireland are future SB winning coaches/GMs...who wins first, who wins more?

IMO Ross failed. GTripp underestimates the importance of the decision. Ross may indeed be worse than Snyder at understanding the personality of a great pro football coach, which is not to be found in the typicall corporate executive both men came to know so well in their impressive careers.

IMO he's failed by 80/20 odds, but as the Zen master says...we'll see.

But it'd be nary a blip on the timeline graph of "Snyder's really bad decisions." Snyder can make bad decisions within bad decisions, he's gone all Leonardo Dicaprio/Inception up in this b!tch and we all need an epic "kick" to wake up from this ongoing nightmare!!!

Hope we make a bid on Flynn just to drive the $$$ up.

This was my first thought as well. Which still could be to our favor if Matt Moore doesnt return. If we have to take someone like a Tannehill, Foles, Cousins, etc in the second round who may not be ready, Moore would be someone ideal to bring in and start.

Spags replaces G. Williams in New Orleans.

Saints hire Steve Spagnuolo as defensive coordinator - NFL - SI.com

I think this is a really good pick up for NO. Spags is a really solid D Coor. Mostly, I am really glad he didn't go to Philly where some of the rumours had him going.

What's the over/under on how long J. Castillo survives as DC in Philly?

Ego/Power? If Ross is the tie-breaker they are closer to equals.

It's what Jack Kent Cooke used to do

And what's wrong with this type of set up? Seems to work well in Pittsburgh. IMO no coach should ever have total control over personnel. Coaching a team is hard enough. Ireland hasn't done a poor job. They have some good pieces to build with there.

Just reporting what a Miami columnist - - it was indeed Greg Cote in the Miami Herald - - said about the situation there.

Obviously, he thinks less highly of Jeff Ireland and more highly of Jeff Fisher than you do. Time will tell how successful either will be in their current positions...

Unfortunately this screams volumes to me. I doubt Marty Schottenheimer is going to coach for Tampa cause I'd have to imagine he'd want his son as OC. Unless father and son don't like each other.

Telling u man it was all Sanchez, Sam will play well under brian

Fisher is going to want to pound the rock, he's not going to expose SB the way McDaniels did.
