I just don't have a problem with it. You can win a SB that way.

You can win a SB in lots of ways. There's not set a blueprint.

But that doesn't change this:

By not firing ***** outright, he creates three possible problems:


1.) Clark is forced to limit his HC search to guys who are capable of having control of personnel decisions.

This is a pretty small list to begin with, and you're already hearing rumblings from guys like Gruden, Cowher and Billick that they aren't interested in coming back. That pretty much leaves Andy Reid and Chip Kelly, who other teams are already fighting over, while we're wasting time with Dirk Koetter and a Rooney Rule candidate.


2.) Hiring a HC and not finding a quality GM.

For sake of conversation, lets say Clark hires Dirk Koetter. Who is the new GM? Guys like Ross, Gamble and Dorsey will either be long gone, or aren't going to be interested in a position in which they have no control over who the HC is. GM's expect to be able to hire a HC.


3.) **** me, but when Reid goes to Arizona or San Diego, and Kelly goes to Cleveland, and there's nothing left that satisfies the first option, and option two comes to fruition and Clark can't find a GM - what happens then?

We all know what happens then.



I know everyone is excited about Clark stepping out on a limb, and I am as well - but he could have stepped out on a thicker limb. I'm not seeing how throwing all your eggs in a Bill Cowher type basket is what is best for the organization.

I'm looking for some legitimate feedback. I'm hoping I've missed something.

Clark is setting his sights high on a top notch HC. I'm not gonna fault him for that. If he doesn't get it done, he doesn't get it done, and he deserves to be criticized.

Just gonna wait and see like I always do. The guy got the top GM candidate 4 years ago, I think he'll get his guy again.

So in other words, you can't argue a single point I made, but hope that Clark knows what he's doing.

I admit you have legit concerns.

If Clark fails at getting one one of his top HC targets, you're absolutely right.

I'm just not gonna cry about it until he does.

I'm far from crying about it.

But I'm legitimately concerned for sure.

I also find it humorous that the Planet is already starting to rationalize it - remember when guys like Gamble, Ross and Dorsey were desired as GM candidates?

Now people realize that's not happening, but they are OK with it.

Here's the thing - Clark Hunt can take a more hands-on approach with his franchise without painting himself into a corner by following this path.

Want else CAN we do?

[Branden Albert's Huge Balls]

Sadly, I'm OK with anyone not named ***** at this point.

Gonna give Clark a chance and let the chips fall.

Well, I'm trying to have a discussion about it.

He's the one that implied I was way off base with the above "rage" quote, yet when pressed, can't argue any of my points.

Ah. Sorry.

[Branden Albert's Huge Balls]

They're legit points. But it's kind of like saying "oh no, it risky" in the same way drafting a franchise QB is.

Why do people do that? Board ban bets are stupid enough, but whenever I see "if X happens, I wont post for Y", I just roll my eyes and think, "moron".

If you need to take a break from the board, have the self-discipline to F'ing post less.

Not posting on here is a gift you can give to yourself.
