It was a response to pacard, I didn't say it was good, but churning through coaches and qbs got us the opportunity to win it all. Sticking with losing coaching staff for the sake of culture doesn't seem a better approach. If we actually tried and landed Reid or Payton as HC, then I would be happy to let a winning culture develop under their leadership.
What about Canales. He was handed a crappy roster and a nutbag owner and the Panthers were in a worst state than the Cards. Yet, we get to watch the Panthers/Rams next Saturday.
Stout, living in Chicago I see what’s going on here a lot.
They play in the NFCS, where the division winner was under 500. They didn’t have 30+ players out either. I’m far more concerned about why we can’t keep players healthy than I am about who our HC is.
I agree! But let’s do that with a good coach. You deserve better than Gonti.
Yep. 100% on ownership. And what has that ownership done in the 60+ years I’ve followed them? They have hired and fired HC’s EVERY 3-4 years. Not enough people have paid attention to when MOJG were hired & Bidwill CLEARLY stated that he was taking a different path. He tore down the roster to the bare bones & taking steps to OVER TIME, build a franchise that could achieve sustained success. Do I trust Bidwill to keep that promise? Hell no. He’s a Bidwill. But to fire Gannon right now would end that approach & return us back to the Cardinal way of hiring/firing every 3-4 years. An approach that will always fail.
This is false bruddah
We weren't getting to the playoffs anyway. Are you actually saying we might have had a bunch of pro bowlers if the kids/roster dregs hadn't gotten injured?
All true, but isn’t Petzing a disciple of Stefanski? If we didn’t like the Petzing offense, would it be much different under Stefanski? The problem in Cleveland was more the ownership & GM than it was Stefanski.
That makes Stefanski the perfect fit , doesn’t it. The Cleveland connection is solid.
Obviously your opinion. Before the injuries started in August, many people projected this team to win 10 games. We’ll never know now just how good these young players could have been in 2025. The silver lining is that many youngsters that should have been backups played a ton of reps in 2025 & that’s never a bad thing going into 2026.
So Adams and Gaines “ improved”. The problem with that is this organization will point to that and believe they can start next year and the o-line will be fine. Add a RT and we are good to go.
Projected, yes. Hell, I had optimism. It was very, very quickly dowsed by the play on the field. We were not good before the injuries got truly bad.
This is not 3-4 years. You’re objectively wrong. Arians was here for 5; Whis was here for 6. Just own up to it.
Not only do we need a starting RT, but we need depth there too. And yes, Adams & Gaines did improve. Dump Williams & Brown, keep developing the young guys & draft more OL.
We need to add to this o-line in free agency. There are more than a few guys out there that would help solidify and add to this line.
You obviously haven’t been alive long enough to know the truth. Other than Coryell, old man Bidwill went through coaches like toilet paper. Guys like Arians & Whiz are offset by the 1 year that Wilks was here. You remember Wilks don’t you? When we hired him, you LOVED that decision.
Yes. And mainly against a 4 man rush.
Yes! We should have MORE short-term coaches.
