Perhaps the plan is to keep Johnson and to bring in some kind of offensive consultant? Perhaps they don’t want another season of Jalen or Sirianni with a different OC? For the record I still think it’s a mistake to have Sirianni go into next season as a lame duck coach. They didn't fire Johnson because they are waiting to see if he gets a head coaching job. If he gets hired as a head coach, then they don't need to do anything. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firing him now would also hurt his chance of getting a HC job. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perforator Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 They need to hire an established defensive coordinator that isn't afraid of benching star players who aren't playing well. That's the only way your going to rein these guys in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we keep going with that crap it'll just be more of the same. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't have the players to implement much of a system. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats probably not gonna happen though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Portyansky Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 I like Wink as a possible DC. But I don't like our 2ndry to run his scheme. But maybe that was part of the scheme why they sucked so bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honest question, I don’t see it and from what I’ve seen his defences have been rubbish. I also don’t see that he has somehow maximised the talent in there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike030270 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 How long are they going to hold off while trying to get comp picks? Has to come a time when they realize it's not happening and fire him. The longer they wait the pickings get slimmer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems obvious that they wouldn't fire him while he's out in the middle of doing HC interviews.
