2019 NFL Coaches Dead Pool

[Dolemite censored]

When he's fired, I hope he comes back to Seattle as our DC...

Yeah, I'm not impressed with Ken Norton Jr. at all.

Adam Gase demands a place on this list.

There was a complete failure of coaching Darnhold and the Jets team during that Patriots fiasco.

I don't disagree with you but I never liked Gase from the start. The thing is again, it's his first year and they did just come off a big win vs. the Cowboys. Last night, the Jets were bad from top to bottom and completely overmatched. I doubt his seat is too hot yet but he is a terrible coach, imo.

There was absolutely no guidance for Darnhold. Unforgiveable.

As for Dan Quinn, I don't want him back as DC. I think people think way too much of him on that end. That defense would have great with anyone at the helm. There was no elaborate schemes or anything special. It was a matter of a ton of talent all over the field that gelled perfectly. Imo, Chris Richard actually did more when that talent got broke up.

Dan Quinn fires a DC who was proven to be capable when he had horses, but when the horses went down, he had no viable replacements, and that’s on Quinn and the GM.

And what does Quinn do? He makes himself DC, and now the Falcons have their worst defense and worst team since Bobby Petrino was coach.

If he and the GM should both be shown the door ASAP

He’s the current Falcons DC. He’s a position coach at best in the NFL now

Oh, I agree and absolutely no protection from the pass rush either. The kid was back pedalling all night and throwing up lame ducks. Gase was trash and always will be byt I just don't think he has much to worry about yet.

I agree. He is severely over rated as a DC, imo.

 

[Battlelyon]

Freddie Kitchens should be the next coach fired, but he won't be and the Browns can't.

 

[Manster7588]

Quinn's seat is extremely HOT.

Falcons to evaluate Quinn's status over bye week

Don't blame you.

Falcons D is playing hard for DQ, but for a DEF designed to prevent big plays, there are just too many missed assignments...such as the 1st SEA TD yesterday...Falcons are in zone, in the RZ inside the 10, but #14 was never picked up off the LOS, simply runs about 7 yds and turns around...wide open in the endzone.

Happened again later in the game.

Hindsight is 20/20, but I don't mind saying it was a bad idea for DQ to be the DC and HC.

idk about that...lotta expectations in that building.

We all know about Quinn now, but you hit the nail squarely on the head there...the underboss Dimitroff cannot, should not, be a part of the 3rd HC hire.

He doesn't know how to build infrastructure. Under his regime, the Falcons have had a lot of good pieces, especially skill position OFC pieces, but they have never had a solid DL AND OL at the same time since he's been GM.

I agree. They never were able to build anything consistent in the trenches and that is still where football really counts. Despite all the bells and whistles and hype that surrounds the star players, those big guys are the key to sustainable success. Niners have figured that out, Colts finally have a god Oline, etc. Most QBs can't make plays laying on there back with 300 lb guys on top of them. Simple math.
Watching Arthur Blank talk to media last night after the game, I won't be surprised to see a total housecleaning there. It's sad that this debacle of a season is what it takes. Pretty much wasting the talent of some really good players.

And he had Pete Carroll backing him up. I felt the same way about guys like Nolan. He looked good in Baltimore because that defense was super talented and he didn't have to do much. He failed pretty much everywhere else he went

I was never a big Gase guy either. He made his name in Denver as the OC under Manning. But Manning was practically an OC out in the field.

Exactly...even when they had good players in the trenches...imo it was never a planned effort, always knee jerk repsonses to a bad result. In '12 they has a solid OL and delivered a 12-4 record...instead of paying those guys and keeping them intake, they decide to insert 3 new starters in '13...bad mistake, had terrible record in '13 and as a result, they used #6 overall on a LT (knee jerk).

Falcons have never had quality dual edge rushers under Dimitroff...and to be honest they have struggled to have one quality edge rusher. They spent a top 10 pick on Vic Beasley...certainly have not gotten top 10 production.

They did have two solid DTs for one season when they had Poe & Jarrett, and imo they just got lucky drafting Jarrett as he was a 5th rd pick that made good. They didn't want to pay Poe so they drafted a DT(3rd rd pick) and he's barely making any impact.

I understand they felt they were a win now team with Matt Ryan, but the Falcons have not been able to sustain success from one year to the next because the play in the trenches has been iffy at best from one season to the next.

Solid analysis and a good read.

The Falcons lack of sustained success these past years confounds me. They seem to be year in and year out a talented team on paper but other than 28-3, they have been a pretty huge disappointment.

Thanks...Quinn is going to take the hit for their failures as he should as the HC, but the GM has not really set this team up for sustainable success. He's good at making splash moves such as Julio, Sanu, Alex Mack (albeit a knee jerk move), and he's made some good draft choices, but the only guy that was not a high 1st round pick that's having success on either size of the line has been Grady Jarrett.

They don't seem to understand the concept building from the inside out under Dimitroff....they patch holes on the OL/DL. Every team does to a degree with a player here or there, but not wholesale changes every other yr.
