I know that many feel that ownership should have fired Nagy and Pace during the season, but doesn't loyalty count for anything?
Nope. Blind loyalty to incompetent people isn't something that should be applauded.
I mean if you look at it from that perspective, isn't that a good quality (annoying at times, yes, but still an overall good quality)?
Are you mental? No, it's not a good quality. This is a cut-throat "what have you done for me lately" multi-million dollar BUSINESS we're talking about here not some 'let's all hold hands, talk about our feelings, and make sure we don't step on any toes" hippie commune.
In a world where there is often no loyalty at all, this should mean something.
Loyalty is something that is earned, not just blindly given away to undeserving people.
Is it that there is an evident lack of football knowledge?
Have you been living under a rock the past 40+ years? This has to be a joke thread right?
It seems that making an effort to bring in people who are more 'subject matter experts' makes sense. If you don't know something, admit it, and then find someone who does.
Imagine being born the grandson of the owner of one of the founding NFL franchises and pissing away your entire life inside the organization without making even the slightest effort to learn anything.
Earth to moron: There should be no need to bring in a "subject matter expert" because after a lifetime in the business you SHOULD ALREADY BE ONE YOURSELF!!! Are you fucking kidding me with this shit?!?
The fact that these assholes have to bring in outside help is an indictment not some feather in their cap.
The search that they are undertaking for both GM and HC is taking a long time, but isn't that a good thing?
Not necessarily. If they spend 2 months interviewing and wind up picking another Emery/Trestman combo it's not going really going to matter that they spent 2 months interviewing is it...
Long or short time frame makes no difference to me, I just want the correct people selected for the job.
Doesn't it indicate that ownership wants to pick the right people?
Not necessarily. You can't drag this shit on forever. The longer it ends up taking the more they look like indecisive fools that have no idea wtf they're looking for.
What's wrong is that when you know what you're looking for it doesn't take very long to make a selection.
When I conduct job interviews for software engineers it doesn't take me weeks to decide if someone is a fit for my company. 9 times out of 10 I've reached a conclusion before the interview is even over whether they're qualified for the role or not.
We don't have much drama like Vegas or Cincy or Cleveland, and I think that ownership has something to do with that.
I just wonder if things would be worse with new ownership.
Can't get worse when you're already at rock bottom.
Hopefully when Virginia dies they sell the team a cut-throat maniac like Bezos that isn't content with being a mediocre franchise and cashing checks and will hire actual competent people to fix this joke of a franchise so he can win some championships.
