No Way Rizzi can be our HC (2 Viewers)

Rizz has a .667 record as a head coach.

If Loomis is picking the next HC then I’m about 80% confident it’ll be Aaron Glenn. I think Rizzi would have to get to 8-9 just to have a shot.

I was only on board with hiring this dude as head coach, if I started to see this team get better at small details: tackling, committing less self inflicting penalties when a big play is absolutely crucial. Disciplined football, stopping the run, no more stupid def pass interference penalties when the game is on the line or a crucial 3rd down, the offense shooting themselves in the foot. None of these are changing. So in my opinion, he doesn't get my vote. I want a more disciplined and feared team.

I gotta be honest…that’s a great assessment.

Coming out of the bye with a lot on the line, the team simply seemed flat and undisciplined.

Obviously that doesn’t all fall on the HC but I don’t see half of the spark we saw in the Atlanta and Cleveland games - which tells me that the “Rizzi-Effect” has leveled out some in the locker room and we are seeing what we typically see in these interim situations - a regression back to the mean.

He's a good guy. But, he doesn't bring anything dynamic or special to the position. On a team that's lacking in dynamic, game-changing players. That being said, it's going to be tough to get a top guy with the cap situation and a rebuild staring them in the face. Keeping Rizzo and Kubiak brings a level of stability to that. Who knows what will happen when he has a say in the draft, acquiring players and hiring his coaches. I think a new GM is more important than a new Head Coach right now.

What your saying holds salt until we are on draft night and the team that bought into the tank picks your guy that turns their franchise around.

That fails more often than not. Most teams that "tank" are trash teams in the first place and have people in place that don't know how to turn an organization around. Was traveling back home, so I caught a replay of the game early this morning and it wasn't the doom and gloom I read. Could we have done some things better, yes? But crapping on Rizzi for this game? I can't. We have 2 1/2 seasons of systemic issues and yall want a guy to fix all of that in 3 games when the foundation is still in place. I think some of us need to be a little more realistic. I think as long as we remain completive in every game and he, himself, finishes the season with a winning record, he shouldn't be disqualified.

Let us look at the facts of the last 2 games:
-We beat Atlanta because Koo forgot that he was playing us and was missing FGs all over the place. We only had one scoring drive in the 2nd half
-We beat Cleveland because Taysom went crazy, they didn't run, and their special teams dropped the ball. We won the 4th

Everybody is talking about time management but I get the intent. Did anybody trust our defense to stop the Rams? My only issue is the play calling once we got to the red zone but that's on Klint, unless Rizzi influenced it. Now if he did, we have some problems...lol

That's on the OC and DC.

I don't understand what the plan is for Loomis. I'm not going to try and defend it. But I have a feeling Rizzi is a lock for the head coaching position, so Loomis can keep doing what he's been doing.

I agree with the majority. To much sloppiness all around yesterday coming out of a bye week is very disappointing. It's obvious the team needs to be a bit blown up and start over with all new coaching. I just don't think Loomis will do it.

At most, we'll see Aaron Glenn hired, and being quite honest, feels underwhelming. I would approach next season extremely cautiously optimistic understanding the likelihood that we continue to be a bad team.

I'd rather stick with Rizzi than hire Glenn. I'd rather hire an up and coming offensive minded, young and hungry coach who is a leader of men type like Rizzi is. I'm not sure who's out there who fits that description, but Glenn would be the opposite of that.

 

[BooBirdSaint]

I don't think the next HC is gonna have much success anyway. Whoever is hired has to contend with a paper thin roster that because of Cap won't be upgraded for at least another season or two. Carr, another year older will be your game manager. WR corps is depleted (Olaves injury concerns mean you cannot depend on him). OL, DL, RB, TE and Safety all need upgrades. Next HC will have a hard time no matter who is tapped.

 

[rsmith2783]

Even though we have a small sample size, at this point i'd rather go with Rizzi as the coach next year. I'd like to see what he can do with his own staff and his own QB.

 

[BBarnes]

Too often, our franchise (fans included) gets so attached to people, whether that be players or coaches. I get it. I would love to do it our way, to have one of what we think is "our guys" lead this ship and change the trajectory of this franchise currently. However, it just does not seem realistic.

I do not know how anyone can look at what we have seen over the last few years and not think we need a complete overhaul and an injection of fresh/new ideas. Will it work? I do not have any idea. What I do know is nothing we have been doing is working. We must do something different. We are not changing GMs until ML decides to retire or step down, I doubt that is coming anytime soon.

Change the HC in the offseason and let him hire his staff. Please get someone who did not coach here previously in the SP era. That is what I am hoping anyway. However, whatever they do or whoever they choose, I will be right here thinking we can make our run at any time lol, I love pain...I guess. hahah

Agreed, if we go external, we need to go with the offensive model.

i see zero explanation why Rizzi over Glenn.

The constant here is Carr

I actually loved how we managed the clock at the end of the game.

If we convert that 4th down then it’s 1st and goal with 1:09 left with the Rams only having one timeout.

The only realistic way to win was to score a TD and convert the 2 points with less than 15 seconds left.
