If we go 8-8 and get a playoff win, Jed would be a fool to blow up the coaching staff, rather than allow them to make minor adjustments. It'd be the Mooch debacle all over again.
although the mooch fiasco was wrong, he did have winning seasons prior to getting axed. singletary? nada.
clean house even if we win 1 playoff game (which i doubt even happens). you only keep wo the new HC wants. MAYBE MJ.
to quote gary oldman in the "professional": EVVVVVVVERYBODY!
This is only Singletary's second full season as a head coach. If they pull off 8-8, he will have a winning record overall as a coach, and brought the team its first playoff victory in 8 seasons. It would be a huge slap in the face to not only Sing, but the players who fought all season and didn't quit. Fans want someone with previous accolades but retreads more often than not do NOT pan out, look at Shanahan in Washington.
To be fair if the 'Skins could kick the ball they would probably have a winning record right now. In Shanahans defense you can only lead a horse to water.....
It would be one thing if we Sing wasn't trying to use an antiquated method to win us games or if we had coordinators that knew how draw up a game plan. I mean Sing is learning on the job and in the NFL thats tough to do. We are not out game planning guys, we are not out systeming guys. Most teams we go against are more prepared than us. If Sing was surrounded with strong football minds I would be ok with his style. But in an era where a strong system and strong game plan make a huge difference we are playing behind of almost every team we face.
In fairness to the coaching staff, we've passed the ball more than we've run in the first half of the majority of our games, before we got down in the scoreboard. I think it has looked more conservative because Alex has been hesitant to take shots down the field. Troy Smith was operating under the same (albeit limited) playbook that Alex was, and under him the offense looked alot more dynamic.
