IF we were to move on from Callahan after this season

Look at the Colt game though.  Look at each play.  There was nothing wrong with the scheme.  It was mostly a player missing a read, drop, bad pass  or hold.  Go through it play by play.  I think I saw one play where there wasn't someone open.     

 

Its not about what the PPG is. Its why is it that way.  

I'm not wasting my time with this. Finding a single guy open on a clip is pointless. You have zero idea what Ward's reads are or the progression. And yes it is about points per game. You need them to win football games. Callahan is 3-19 as a HC because he can't figure out how to accomplish that part of the game, which is a really important one. 

 

So, basically you have zero idea what you're talking about and feel the need to then say what we can definitively point to (PPG, record, offensive stats...etc) and act as if they don't matter. It's ridiculous.

You can definitely fuck up his development by keeping him under a bad coach. 

 

Are you suggesting they'd replace the entire offensive coaching staff mid-season?

 

They're not bringing in anyone from the outside. He's still going to be working primarily with Bo Hardegree and Nick Holz..which is who he works with today. So unless you completely clean house not much is going to change.

We have Mike McCoy on staff who has been a HC and OC. Start there and get rid of Callahan. Maybe it doesn't change anything, but we have seen through 21 games what Callahan's offense looks like.

This is all pointless, my friend. What I was asking for was intellectual, football discussion that was new over emotionally reactive pitch fork conversations. I find the intellectual back and forth more entertaining than the "He sucks! Off with his head!" discussions.  

 

I find it .. interesting you find talking qb progressions, coverage, and decision making a waste of time but posting over and over again how much you dislike BC productive or not a waste of time.  

 

But you do you.

But you do you.  

Acting as if wanting a coach fired for a 3-19 record is an emotional reaction is why I've basically tuned you out. The offense is broken. It may not be fixable. What we know is Callahan has not shown any ability to right the ship and Ward's development is paramount. Those are facts. 

 

It is also a fact that you can ruin a QB's development. Cam is not a  Burrow/Manning/Luck prospect. He's actually a bit raw on accuracy and decision making.

 

His positives are his plus arm, his ability to make mid-level throws with consistency, and his ability to create. His negatives are bad decision making, inaccurate or out of frame throws against zone (which we saw on the Ayo interception last Sunday), and he drifts too much in the pocket. I've seen zero development in any of those over a month. I've actually seen the opposite. 

 

The team and offense have shown absolutely nothing under Callahan over a 21 game sample size. That is a long time in NFL standards. Believing that he is not capable of turning this around isn't an emotional response. It is a designation that his coaching has shown a team lacking in every conceivable area while the players across the sidelines can see they don't want to play (Colts game followed by a shutout) He makes incorrect game management calls. He doesn't know the rules to the game. He lies about not knowing rules to the game. His offense is dead last in expected QB percentage and has averaged 17 PPG over his tenure and 12 PPG over a month. Every conceivable metric shows you he's a bad coach. Add that into the blunders with game management and it's very obvious exactly why he's going to get fired.

I firmly believe Brian hasn’t been fired due in part his father being on staff. We’d have to fire him too if we fire Brian Callahan. Then we’re out an offensive line coach ontop of a head coach that’s probably been his only saving grace.

It's too bad Eddie George is still too green or not experienced enough. He might actually be a great candidate in a few years. And damn if it wouldn't bring Titans oldheads out of the woodwork.

 

I know this will get some eye rolls and lols but EG was always fiery and motivating on the field. I imagine he's that way as a coach too. If he's good at situation management and just generally has a strong knowledge of the game he could be a good one. He supposedly did some good work with TSU while he was there.

He's my favorite player all time, mainly because he was such a fiery and vocal leader.  I also think he's a pretty smart guy and obviously has a love for the Oilers/Titans.  I honestly just fear we'd do to him what we did to Munch and that would be awful to see happen again.
