Does he strike you as the type to make demands of Pioli?

No, but he doesn't strike me as someone who lets front office people get involved in football decisions either.

Plus I think Crennel would have to go 3-0 the rest of the way (not happening) to get the job.

I know I am in the minority here, but I think firing Haley was a mistake and will only set the team back a few years depending upon the coach we hire. Crennel doesn't bother me and I think he can actually be a good head coach. He did get our defense to play at a high level despite the talent and injuries.

It's a shame to put the blame on Haley considering we lost 2 Pro Bowlers and our starting TE before the end of the first game. And then the last few weeks, we lost our starting QB. We also had to play our 3rd string RB for most of the season.

Head coaching changes usually set a team back a couple of years. The good thing is, whomever the coach is will be handed a young team with good potential. If Charles, Berry, and Moeki return in great condition, we good be a very good team again.

I've always like Crennel and wouldn't be displeased to see what kind of staff he brings in. Fisher would be a great head coach because I've always liked how he was willing to try anything to win a game and often did interesting and surprising plays to catch the opponents off guard. He would also command the respect of the players.

I still think Haley deserved another season to see what he can do with a team that has progressed and wasn't crushed by so many injuries and such a tough schedule. But, this is a league where everyone wants to win NOW and when things go bad, the head coach is the first one to get whacked.

I wish Haley the best of luck.

How does firing Haley set the team back when Haley hadn't installed anything on offense that was remotely stable? We have no system.

The Broncos fired McDaniels and weren't set back a tick.

I really wish someone would just take a damn axe to the tree. I hate the tree...

In most cases, if not all cases, the new coach wants to install a new system with new assistants that must work with a new playbook and learn the players around them.

That almost always sets a team back a couple of years.

I don't think this is one of those cases.

You don't even know who the new head coach is going to be yet.

I'd love to draft a QB and bring in Reid if Philly is dumb enough to let him take the fall.

Agreed. Reid and RG3 would probably make a nice combination there.

Truth. Assuming the new coach can keep Crennel as DC.. then I don't see us moving anywhere but forward.

And wouldn't set the team back two years.

Screw that! Hire Art Briles (Baylor's coach) and RG3 is a lock for us! :D

Yeah but like I said...who cares if we have to learn a new playbook. What's gonna happen, we'll be 20th on offense? That would be a major improvement.
