Thank you. This was a great answer. It's good to hear that DCs should be relatively easy to find.
This season also seems really defensively dominant with guys like Mahomes, Hurts, etc, seemingly taking a step back in terms of on field production.
Hopefully, that's a sign of new defensive philosophies being made by Defensive staffs and we can scoop up one of those talents
Oh I haven't forgotten. The bears defense gave up 25+ points to opponents in 14 consecutive games before the commies game, and then did it again with Chargers and Lions. But we clearly have good players on this defense. I just want to see them keep it up and have the right guy to develop them.
I get what you're saying, but I'd honestly consider this win still a loss for the coaching staff.
leaving out the screens, getsy is still abandoning the run game as its working. Flus called a great defense, but as a head coach, still makes questionable decisions that didn't work out, such as the challenge on that vikings catch that was obviously going to stay.
It really felt like we won, despite the coaching ineptitude. Without J.J and Moore, that game becomes a crushing loss. Instead, it's a hollow victory for everyone on the hotseat
I didn't hate it at first, but especially someone with no prior playcalling experience too. Like, we have a guy with high talent at a position we have never had success in.
Let's pair him with a Defensive head coach and a coordinator who's never called an offense and got to work with a vet aaron rodgers, so he never had to develop a young qb.
Love the player, hate the play caller
Then wouldn't this defense be a perfect time for him to try and put it together, trial by fire style?
This last stretch of games is supposed to be his proving ground to show he can improve from the beginning of the season. For 95% of this game, we all thought we were gonna lose, even when we were up. Why not use that position to dial up plays against a blitz defense that fields needs to work on and prove he can have success with.
I understand planning around your players strengths and weaknesses, but when the opponent is shutting down and even predicting your game plan, you need to let your players prove they can adjust to something that works
I mean, generally, sure, he's not an idiot if you compare him to everyone. It takes a lot of mental talent to even get into the nfl, let alone make it to the top, and I don't doubt he knows the technical ins and out of football.
My point is that all the qualities of a smart head coach you'd want to see, he lacks in.
Time Management: Awful, many examples throughout his tenure Penalties: Top 5 in NFL this year Situational Awareness: Awful, see Detriot game Media Presence: Embarrassing! Guy cannot answer questions without getting lost in his own words. Hirings: Obviously, Luke Getsy is not the guy. But hiring a guy who is now under investigation from the FBI is still a terrible knock.
Smart NFL coaches are made by these factors, and when he lacks these qualities time and time again, it's fair to call them out. We are constantly mocked by NFL announcers, reporters, and analysts for the product on AND off the field. To do that takes true incompetence. In layman's terms, being an idiot
