That being said I don't get why firing Callahan when she did is looked at as some impatient reactionary decision. he 4-19 and the team was cratering more and more each week. Not sure why you can't understand that most of us were not concerned about her firing Callahan but the meddling with stripping Callahan of playcalling, meddling with not trading Henry. Plus, and it's just my opinion, but I think the odds are pretty good that she preferred to not clean house because of her money spend with 3 guys already on the dole and the stadium costs...

scine09 Posted October 16, 2025 Report Share Posted October 16, 2025 (edited) I heard AAS was on the headset with Ward calling three runs up the middle on the first drive. It was confimed on Twitter!

I could have done better throwing darts at the draft board from across the room. There were numerous people on this board who said don't draft either Wilson or Farley. japan, Mythos27, and IsntLifeFunny 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not believe for 1 second she mandated Cally give up playcalling. I need someone more reputable than dumbass Terry to report on that. I do believe she vetoed the Henry trade, which I agree was dumb because he was not coming back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least Wilson was healthy. You should almost never draft a guy in a quick twitch position that's had back surgery. And never high... Actually, you should probably never draft a guy with back injuries... Edited October 16, 2025 by japan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NashvilleNinja Posted October 16, 2025 Report Share Posted October 16, 2025 Blaine was just saying that people in league circles thought that Bill Cally had a large hand in the playcalling. Does that sound about right? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mythos27 Posted October 16, 2025 Report Share Posted October 16, 2025 I don't have a particularly strong opinion on this but I suspect we are disagreeing on what exactly makes an owner cross over from merely being hands on to "meddling"? It seems like we don't have an agreed upon standard for this. Maybe we should establish a common/shared definition of what is meddlesome from an owner?

We did that already, some people are just stubborn Firing the coach/overruling the GM - Not meddling Striping play call duties from the HC - meddling nixing a trade of a beloved star like henry - not meddling The big issue is that many fans have this unrealistic expectation that an owner should never be involved in or overrule the football people. rns90 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctm Posted October 16, 2025 Report Share Posted October 16, 2025 Ask yourself this....who had motive to leak to Terry Mc. that AAS forced Callahan to give up play calling? From his article.....A league source......It is believed from many within the staff Personally, I'm 99% certain that it wasn't Brinker or Borgonzi. Only an idiot would go passive/agressive like this on their boss and these guys aren't idiots. Who??? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like bullshit. Personally, I don't think Amy called them up and said "Callahan needs to give up play-calling". I do however believe that a conversation was had that indicated something had to change with Callahan and play-calling duties became that thing so indirectly, she stripped Callahan of play-calling duties. At least that's what makes sense to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
