Callidus Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 1 hour ago, Justafan said: No one said they didn't. They went from historically bad to just bad. I can't believe people are actually defending Anderson's performance this year. They were a net 0 at the end of the year, thats nothing to be proud of but from where they started out is a miracle.

CreepingDeath Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 5 hours ago, Justafan said: The dude was a complete disaster for 11 weeks of the season. Historically bad. If you want to blame that on personnel, that's fine, but I don't see how anyone can look at the coverage units and punt block units and say it was just Jackson and a couple of back-end roster guys holding back STs. At some point, if everyone on the unit is incompetent, they had an entire offseason to recognize that and do something about it. Wasn't it reported that the ST coach assumed these were all grown men and already knew what to do? Reminds me of the Switzer 90s Cowboys. Some clips of Aikman airing out his thoughts from that time have popped up in my YT feed. Apparently Switzer at that age wasn't interested in holding "grown men" accountable anymore and the 90s Cowboys slowly degraded into garbage over the next few years. Coaching matters.

oldschool Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 (edited) No one said the ST ended up good but they improved a ton the past 6 weeks to end the season. This is a fact. Doesnt mean they were a good unit and if they move on from the 1st time ST coach fine. But this nonsense they were historically bad all year is just fan drivel.

BudsOilers Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 One can make a case to fire the HC, OC, DC, and STC. Or keep them intact for year 2….. As mentioned before, Anderson’s unit definitely was impacted by the bsck of roster decisions and did get better once they pivoted mid season to add some ST centric guys.

TeamRamrod Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 He’s also a young dude and it was his first time being a coordinator. Coaches need time to improve too. Maybe they won’t be able to keep him because of this screeching fan base wanting blood but I bet Callahan wants to keep him if it was up to him Pragidealist, Callidus, titanskick8851, and 1 other 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBukafax Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 (edited) If there’s one thing I learned from this thread it’s that you should be allowed to be dogshit for a long time then become slightly less dogshit when the heat is on and that should be enough to keep a job! Another wasted year next year with this staff. Edited January 11 by TheBukafax Justafan, and titansfan 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another wasted year next year with this staff. I have my doubts about Callahan and his staff. If they would have one and done him, I'd have been fine with it. That said, his leash is clearly the shortest of the 3 main guys (Brinker, new GM, and Callahan). TheBukafax 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't surprise me if he saved his job. Just like with the offense and defense, I want to see a senior assistant brought in across the board. But yeah, the STs turnaround is the one unit I can look at and say there was genuine and notable improvement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are rebuilding they don’t need to bring back Folk and can cycle through kickers until they find one. IsntLifeFunny 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Results are not the only thing to consider when firing a coach; that's reactionary thinking. TeamRamrod, rns90, and FireInTheHole 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For all 3 units you could pretty much argue that personnel issues led to the downfall or was a huge reason for it. Offense : qb (duh). The coaching staff does share some blame for the RT disaster. Defense: front four/pass rush/edge Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When a coaches line of thinking to defend himself is “I thought the players knew how to play STs” when the entire KO procedure has changed this off season… Wanting him fired isn’t reactionary. Pearce who outperformed BC got him and his whole staff fired. We can’t even get some turnover in the staff. These are surely the best coordinators and not just BCs gangbang guests.

I'm okay with not bringing Folk back, but if he's what is left after preseason and we haven't found a reliable one by then, I'd bring him back.
