Lombardi and others....FIRED

Are you shitting me???!

What about a 1-6 team says "Hey, we should promote someone"??

Unreal!
 
Whoooo Caldwell is NEXT. I can't see this shit show getting any better these next 9 games. Lol what a wasted season.
 
Seriously though, why just Lombardi?

The defense has been even worse than the offense. It's time to axe Austin as well. He made a name in one season with a line full of first round picks and a LB corp full of early round picks. Why is he still here?

Why is Caldwell still here? He hired these idiots.

Why is Mayhew still here? He hired Caldwell.

This should have gone a lot deeper.
 
Modkins promoted to run game coordinator again. He did this in 2013 and then got demoted. That was dumb after what we did in 2013

Doesn't really make a difference. I could be the run game coordinator for all the difference it makes.

"Ameer, I need you to not fumble. FUCK! WHAT DID I JUST SAY?!"

"Joique, we need positive yards now... do you hear me? Positive yards. FUCK! WHAT DID I JUST SAY?!"

"Theo, you're performing well, just try to keep doing what you do and don't get injured. FUCK! WHAT DID I JUST SAY?!"

... does anyone really think our running game is going to improve no matter who the coordinator is?

You get handed the ball, you try to take it forward. It's a shiny title, and not much more.
 
Like others said...I'm just happy they pulled the trigger and did something to try and shake it up. It may not amount to squat but at least they are trying to do something different.

There is more to it than that. It takes some coordinating to figure out who to block. Modkins did well in 2013 with Bush and Bell. Abdullah and Bell hopefully do better. Bell healthier might help. We'll see what happens.

"Hey guys... I don't care WHO you block but I want you to actually block someone. WHAT DID I JUST SAY!?"
 
It's simple, hey RB, block the guy Tomlinson was suppose to block.

New England had 1 rushing yard from their RBs yesterday...1. They won, good coaching and QB play can hide everything else.
 
I'm kind of impressed that Caldwell had the balls to pull the trigger right before the London game. Don't teams usually wait until the bye week for a move this big? Ballsy.
 
Fucking great...now they will win their way into a 15-20 draft position and fuck everything up for the next coach. Should have just let things stay as they were, get the #1 pick and reset with entire new staff. But nooooooo...fire them now so team will win. Fucking pathetic.

Unless the new guys continue to embrace the suck, then I'm good with it.

Pretty sure it wasn't Caldwell.. especially when he said earlier in the day "no changes."

Yeah to late for my tastes ... 22nd ranked offense last year and the offense just implodded in the after the first half in San deigo ..we could all see the signs... but not our brain dead owner...
 
This isn't going to fix a thing. Just needed a scapegoat for the happenings so far.

The team is fractured.

Means nothing when another coach gets promoted after a firing. It happens all the time, it's temporary. You can't fire everyone and they won't right now. Two more guys could get the axe in a few weeks if it gets real ugly and that's Austin and Caldwell. Then 2 more guys get "promoted" if you will. It means jack fucking shit.

Who said anything about fixing the situation? The firing had to be done. This happens in the NFL all the time. Are you new to the game of football or something?? If things get worse then more heads will roll....

Wtf is wrong with trying to win games?? Lol
 
I understand why some of you are super negative about this team. Hell, I didn't even watch the game this weekend because fuck the Lions. But they did what we've been asking for and now people are upset because of how it was done or because they speculate it wasn't Caldwell? Just seems silly to me.
 
No idea if it was Caldwell or not when he has a presser that says no changes and the 2 hours later 3 people get fired.. I expect someone nudged him a bit. Maybe not the Fords but possibly Mayhew.
