U get everything your saying. It's not yourself in particular however he's the next HC and we need to have faith In him is all I'm saying.
BB managed everything, he didn't do that his first year, he got that power over time. With Mayo as coach he won't have that power, they'll hire a GM and every other job down the line. If the GM sucks, they'll fire him and hire another. Same with OC. Let's see who they hire for these positions over the next few weeks.
Agreed. People in all types of professional sports got thier start somehow one way or another. Erik spolstra was a video assistant in the beginning for the Miami heat who got a chance, Bill was a staffer, then STs who got a chance with the Giants as DC.
Mayo has only been coaching for a few years. He has split the job on defense with Steve B. So, not even a coordinator on his own. Yes, he may be very smart and in a few years make a very good HC somewhere but not now with the NEP. You have a proven commodity in Mike Vrable. Vrable should get the job. Mayo would be a colossal gamble. We don't need to gamble!!!
They know more about Mayo in the building than we do from the outside and the Krafts usually don't make dumb decisions. We'll see how it goes but I'm optimistic they put the right people in the right positions to turn this around.
BB cut and traded several stars in those first 2 years. He certainly had a huge say over personnel.
Again, this was a critique of management structure. Not Mayo. Read my post.
I did. Again I wasn't specifically saying you were NOT in support there were a few other posters who were. Mayo is tied to Bill he'll have to create his own style and create his own legacy here. No one of course will ever replace a man who dedicated his life to the NFL. Bill reportedly asked Mayo mulptile times when he was at NBC sports Boston to come coach. So the succession clause will start to become a popular tool whenever owners want certain coaches elevated on thier teams. I'm more concerned about the talent who will be the QB? What to do with Mac? If Mayo can get the right QB and we can have say a Texans like resurgence that would be great.
Mayo is a BB guy, drafted, was a team captain and was asked to come coach by Bill. Mayo was also asked by BB if he wanted the title of DC he said no he wanted to earn it. He's been a coach for 5 seasons here. He's not a former volleyball player or lacrosse player that was asked to coach NFL football. Vrabel is a dam good HC, however the last few seasons with the coaching staff here was a disaster. Let's worry about the talent well have to get and judge Mayo when the games count.
Kraft lost me with this one. It's a gamble at best. No experience at all. Hasn't even been a coordinator.
any head coach here is a gamble.
My opinion is that both Vrable and Harbaugh are proven coaches. Mayo IS NOT. I believe that someday Mayo MAY be a good coach but he hasn't shown anything yet. All he's been is a Co-cordinator with Steve B. I don't believe you can equate that to the level of Vrable or Harbaugh.
Siriani in his first year as head coach took Eagles to the SB. He was not a proven head coach.
Looks like Siriani was/is a one-year wonder. Look at what he's done this year. His job may be BB's next one!
If he loses this weekend, I am convinced Bill will go there and they could be a SB team in 25
He gambled on Bill too! Mayo wasn't playing lacrosse and decided to coach football. Guy brings some pedigree as a player and a coach to the position. So have some hope!
And the good thing about that is Bill would be strictly a HC. Roseman has the GM job on lock there! What hurt Bill was his staff and roster decisions the past few seasons. Wherever he goes he'll be the HC not personnel guy!
All coaching decisions are somewhat of a gamble but BB already had two Super Bowl rings as a DC and defensive success at multiple franchises over nearly 2 decades.
