Go on the record: Who do you want as GM and Head Coach?

[chiefzilla1501]

What a surprise, we disagree again. Canning a head coach isn't as simple as counting wins and losses. By that argument, Jeff Fisher should have been canned in the middle of 2006 when he won only 9 games out of 37. That's 1 win out of every 5--equally as bad.

I think Herm's firing is a foregone conclusion and I think it's a good decision. But I also think he got a raw deal and it's because there are those like you that think that any team could be coached out of a wet paper bag. Jeff Fisher is an amazing coach that proved that there is no remedy for a team in the middle of a rebuild. That is not even slightly saying that Herm Edwards is Jeff Fisher, but it does say that good coaches often struggle to win games when the talent on the team sucks.

And make no mistake that Carl Peterson's treatment of the word "rebuild" as if it were a 4-letter word is the main reason we are where we are today. He watched the team get old, he ****ed up draft after draft between 1999-2005, and we are hearing a lot of chatter that he is the main reason the team didn't start the rebuild until 2008 when it was 2 years too late.

The word "rebuild" is more than appropriate. It is what a team must do when your front office does such a lousy job managing the team that you wake up in 2006 and there are a handful of good players left on your roster. Good teams don't overhaul their roster--those that do, like Tennessee and Tampa, overcome a few losing seasons before they start winning. Good teams never have to rebuild because their rosters are so deep from years of good drafting and smart personnel moves.

The moral of the story is this league is a production based business regardless of a rebuild. Herm has won 6 games out of 30. Sit back and think about those numbers for 2 seconds. 1 win out of every 5.

If this GM says he wants to go in another direction, it shouldn't be too hard of a sell to Clark considering just about every stat that matters points in the direction of Herm getting canned.

I'm tired of the word rebuilding too. It's rebuilding when your team sucks. Other teams win with completely overhauled rosters. What it comes down to is superior coaching.
