also their GM

 

[flyerhawk]

I think he was the 2nd longest tenured coach in the NFL, no? Kinda amazing he lasted so long with so few positive results.

 

[Dr. Strangelove]

Biggest non surprise of black Monday. I'm only surprised thos didn't happen last year.

16 seasons for Rick

MATT NAGYHC, UNSIGNED FREE AGENT

Bears fired head coach Matt Nagy.​

11 too many. He drafted Christian fucking Ponder and sattled us with a brutal Cousins contract.

his win % is actually pretty decent, the only 2 playoff wins is a drawback

 

[Fountain City Blues]

It was probably time. Tough to last that long and not have a SB appearance.

He honestly probably was an above average coach until the Cousins era.

Zimmer's D really hasn't supplemented the potential of the Vikings offense. On paper, the Cousins era should've been in the playoffs every year and they made a lot of mistakes.

3rd after Belichick and Carroll. Speaking of, is Pete going to make it?

Only if Russ is ok with him staying. If Russ demands to be traded then I think they move on.

As long as you’re over .500 you can last quite a while. Look at Marvin Lewis in Cincy.

i think hiring his son as DC and his good friends son as OC was a big blunder

Unless you’re the Dolphins

If I am thinking of two names that ended Zimmer's time here in MN, I think Bradberry and Gladney.....not Kubiac and Zimmer.

As much is made of the Jefferson after Reagor draft where we benefitted by a team losing their mind and overthinking the draft, Bradberry and Gladney were almost as bad selections as Jefferson was good especially when you factor in the players who went after them at their same positions.

Rick has his say in that

Cousins was his demise. Kirk can take a 6 win team and make them a 8 win team. He will also take a 10 win team and make them an 8 win team.

Agreed. The expectations when you guys got Cousins was SB contender. Not middle of the pack. He went all-in on a 'three of kind' type of poker hand in the same division as Aaron Rodgers.
