Zilla getting owned hard again.

Bump some of his posts about Romeo and Cassel for even more laughs.

I gave Cassel way too much rope for a year and a half. I was one of Romeo's biggest critics when he was hired.

Is it just me or was I the only one thinking he was the guy with cancer part of the season?

It's just you.

Just you and Te'o.

I wouldn't be going off on this if CP put him on par with Mike McCoy. Months ago, they were putting him as the #1 hot candidate, above Andy Reid. Above Gruden and Cowher and Chip Kelly.

I respectfully disagree with you that he's a good candidate. I still think they're hiring a more progressive version of Norv Turner. A guy who will be acceptably mediocre. I'm happy for the guy, but am glad he's not coaching our team.

So now cp is they?

all lumped together?

**** yourself

Boss chief is the main guy that was tooting arians.

I guess that is a majority

Go to any head coaching thread, and find how many of them had Arians at #1 or in their top 3. He was widely regarded as one of the top head coach candidates. Incidentally, McCoy was high on many people's lists, but is suddenly being trashed as a head coach.

And why would you label him "acceptably mediocre"?

His stint as a interim hc? Isn't that all we have to go on?

or his stint as a successful oc?

Ok good, can we have a real conversation now?

I've followed Arians for a while. I have several Steelers buddies and I've watched more than a few of his games. Arians is a player's coach to the extreme. He was Big Ben's best friend even as his life went off the rails, and he coddled him. And I was just never impressed with the hustle or technique of some of his offensive players outside of the QB. That's fine as an OC, but it's not a quality you want out of a head coach. He is too much like coaches we've had. He's going to coddle some of his players, he's going to bring in some of his buddies to coach, and he's going to coach a team that (like Norv's Chargers) will use an effective scheme manned by players who will play soft. I think in 2 years, you have Norv's Chargers, except with a more innovative scheme. Oh, and he wants to call his own plays, because he can't hand control over to a coordinator who can outrule him.

I also have a firm belief that NFL owners aren't stupid. Not all of them. He has gone 30 years in very highly visible positions. He coordinated a Super Bowl offense. Never a SINGLE interview until this year when he turned 60. And during the interview process, even though he was considered a hot candidate, he was clearly not considered cream of the crop or even close in this year's offseason. I think there are less than a handful of coaches who made the Super Bowl after their first hire was after age 50, let alone 60. There's a reason for that.

I think he will groom a good QB. But right now, his defensive plan is off to a terrible start. And we've yet to see if he can perform the same magic without a once-in-a-lifetime QB that falls into his lap.

Are you sure he has never interviewed before?

Yes. He said so himself that this is the first year he ever got a head coaching interview.

hmmm
