Chad Brinker steps down

At this rate- there is no reason to believe Borgi or Saleh stays long. 

If Cam shits the bed and Borgo can't quickly bandaid it -- sure it's possible. But I believe in Cam and Borgonzi's ability to fix it quickly in the event of failure. 

 

The key to building a successful, winning roster is having one so strong that no one player can sink it, not even the QB. See: Seahawks, Steelers, 49ers...

As long as Borgonzi is in charge of the football operations I don't care what they do

There's a lot of people who overhyped past changes to say Amy mishandled every single firing/extension/promotion and now any time a front office/coaching move is made it's completely overblown and pas

I just realized I ended up arguing a position that I don't even believe. I'm glad Brinker's gone. That's it. That's my position.

TR is worse than the shit local media sometimes. For the first time in a long time, a guy was let go cause they had it handled -- and now the sky is falling.

I hated Ran and Callahan since the beginning, but I want Borgonzi and Saleh to stick around for awhile.  Considering my track record of predicting coaching results (Callahan, Coen, MacDonald, Johnson, etc), my opinion should be the only one which matters.

You need to up your game.

We are not going that approach. We are going the franchise QB approach, which also works.

Please quote where I said that

 

The narrative around AAS which precedes this move is because of the mess it’s been

I took from your post that you were calling this a restructuring.  Which it’s clearly not.  If that’s not what you meant, I apologize.

I'm not really sure that Brinker stepping down is a sign of organizational dysfunction.  It seems more like another step towards stability.  We now have a seemingly competent GM that has purged the building of Ran players and other stench, has hired his own coach that is almost universally well regarded, and is filling out the roster with players that appear to fit a legitimate plan.  These are things that have been missing for a long time. 

 

Brinker stepping down doesn't change any of that and maybe removes dysfunction, or misalignment with organizational strategy.  It will be interesting to see who replaces him and if the job description changes.

 

 

Correct we finally have the front office to coach to player synergy that we've been searching.

 

Borgonzi-Saleh-Ward are in lockstep and on the same timeline.

Why would this be confusing. Brinker seemed super competent and now AAS son in law is moving into his role lmao.

I'm not even disagreeing with this, but at what point can we look at Brinker and say he was good at his job? 

Well if everyone is jerking off about how great Borgo is, I'd think the guy who hired him deserves some credit. He was also clearly involved with the last draft.

I think some of AAS critics want/hope there's something more to Brinker's leaving than there is because it gives them ammo to keep pushing a narrative.

 

We all know who's hoping and praying and will deny any shot of it being true.

No I know it’s not. I am not talking about this move

There's a lot of people who minimized past change to say we've got Brinker and Borgonzi and finally a great setup; it's smooth sailing from here ... but now that this guy's leaving (really does seem amicable / he wanted a different kind of job) it's totally fine because the same people kind of didn't like him anyway and we've still got Borgonzi!

 

At some point, people should just say that they want it to be ok and so they're going to pretend it is. No amount of instability, whether due to bad hiring or bad luck or an owner's mercurial nature or just natural, inevitable turnover ... none of it can ever possibly be anything but a sign of progress because eventually we will be good again and when it happens it can only have been at the end of whatever road we're on that is leading us there.

 

Anyway, yet another change after so much past change still sliding past the car and isn't even in the rear view mirror yet ... it's not ideal. Even if the cause this time seems pretty normal.

 

(though that in-law taking over will absolutely get shit on even if the thing that created the opportunity for it is more innocuous)
