So, we are a little over 1/4 of the way and things are just beginning to fall into place but there is obviously a long way to go. But maybe we should discuss which coaches are in trouble. I didn't include a couple of them that are losing like Gannon because he has the team playing hard despite having a horrible roster.
A couple of my thoughts about the ones I included.
Belichick, the problem here is that he has had all the control and built an absolutely horrible roster. Can't deny his legacy but Kraft has to be looking at a change soon. This is ugly.
Frank Reich, not sure it's all on him but he is definitely feeling the heat. They assembled a top coaching staff and traded up for the top pick but they look pretty awful and Young has struggled. The problem here is that all the circumstances are conspiring against them. They took Young while Stroud has looked very solid on an equally suspect team. They gave Chicago their first round pick which currently looks like Caleb Williams, ouch. And their best WR is an older veteran slot, middle of the road number 2 at best. No running game to speak of and a kid who looks like he's way over his head (pun intended).
Kevin O'Connell, was so lucky last year to be where they were and obviously, Minny could be moving on from Cousins so maybe he gets a little leash. After all, he isn't the one putting the ball on the ground for the other team seemingly every second possession.
Payton, given what Broncos ownership gave up to get him, maybe they don't want to be too hasty but damn, this team has looked awful to this point. Vance Joseph is probably the sacrificial lamb because of how horrendous that defense has been. Losing any game 70-20 should be an immediate indictment on any head coach in this league though.
Staley, somehow has managed to get back to .500 despite his best efforts to fuck it up. Talking about O'Connell's luck last year and here Staley has needed back to back goal line int's to save his ass at the end of games. Forget the record, the eye test says this thing is not good.
Daboll, despite winning COTY last year after getting the team into the play-offs and winning in Minny, it's pretty obvious this team is not as good as all that suggests. He likely gets a little longer leash from the Mara's simply because management has built such a shitty roster and hasn't really addressed their shortcomings at all. It's just a bad team.
Rivera, losing 40-20 to the Bears at home is a really bad look. He honestly should have been canned last year but because of the ownership change, he seemed to get a reprieve for now but his days have to be numbered.
McDaniel, despite beating the Packers in primetime, this looks like a team going nowhere. I have no idea what Marc Davis will do but this was a shitty hire that virtually everyone saw coming. Of course, Davis is a retard so he will probably give this asshat a raise.
Feel free to add your own, maybe Eberflus but I think he's the least of the Bears problems.
