Official fire MCDC thread

He set an NFL record yesterday by going for it on 4th down. The most in an NFL season. Ever ….in all of history. And the season is not over yet.

So Dan Gambleton is fitting.

Surely it would just be Dan Gamble?

Exactly.

He knows there’s chatter, but he’s not listening to any of it. Why would he, good or bad?

Who exactly would he be listening to? Carlos at the freep? ESPNbaby? Terry Bradshaw and the fox football entertainers? Colin Cowherd? Are these people advising, through public commentary, our HC? And if they were, this would be a good thing? Listening to the wind, fueled by blowhards with no innate knowledge of what’s happening behind the scenes is a positive for a HC? Personally, I’d want nothing to do with that type of “leader”.

“Well, I really wanted to go for it there but Carlos and Colin were pretty adamant that it was a mistake last time, so we didn’t this time.”

Now THAT’S a loser.

Thought I read he was in 2nd, behind Billy B in NE, not that it really matters.
36 to 39 iirc, it was mentioned in the Detroit papers today.

Ok, but if we start the season with Buffalo, New England, Dallas, and say, at Green Bay, and we’re 1-3 or even 0-4, can we not panic then?

Depends on how they lost, hard to agree on panicking without knowing the details, did they lose all four on last second 66 yard fg? It’s a marathon, concern, sure, panic possibly but not necessarily.
Dolphins started out 1-7 iirc and are now 8-7

I don’t know of any coach that would get handed this roster, then lose a lot of it to injury etc and still play these games this close.

Getting players to play this hard despite the horrid record says something. I am going to put 3 losses right on him and his staff, but that was early on (balt, minny, first chicago game) but he has changed for the better since then.

We’re a few slick balls and a bum call or two and some covid tests from an even record. Or better. But, let’s get real. Do these players like their coach? If so he’s the right man for the job. They can hire an xs and os guru at season end. Personally I thought they improved substantially when DC took over play calling. But it may have been because Goff got more comfortable with his receivers. His stable of pass catchers acted like they had their feet in molasses for awhile.

“OMG! Not again!”
Can you think of anything more fitting?

Bumping old threads is something we frown upon here and it’s a quick way to get a suspension.

Because it’s a fairly New Rule I’m going to let’s it slide with a warning.

See this new rule here.
