Only if you look at total yards or other worthless metrics. If you look at advanced stats you find that we started good on defense and ended well while being mediocre but not terrible (with the exception of Kansas) in the middle. The fact that that middle coincided with injuries concentrated enough to force us to play a walk on RB at safety is probably enough to buy everyone there a mulligan. I think we do need to assign an extra assistant there to balance the distribution of position coaches.
Beck will either be gone or demoted/reassigned
Meh is getting fired
Warehime is getting fired
Meekins is getting moved to an admin role or fired.
I don't see any changes happening on defense other than perhaps one spot opened on offense being used to hire an extra DL or LB coach.
Excellent. Let's keep Bijan and get Graham Harrell, move Beck to TE if he'd like to be put there or let him move on if he doesn't, fire Warehime and Meekins, get Samples as WR, and find a new LB coach that is also a good recruiter.
Yes. The fact that he played on shitty teams shouldn't be held against him. Hell the fact that he did so well against nine in the box blows my mind as a 49ers fan.
This. Hell a if Ingram doesn't have butter fingers we probably beat LSU after going for two on the final score and call Herman a genius for going for it on 4th. Fact of the matter is most of us here are clueless and judge based on the results we see not on the soundness of the decision and the process behind it.
If you want to be depressed (and realize I'm correct) go watch TCU again. Watch Barber's circus catch against Owens in coverage. That was a bad pass that gets picked off by any of our top 5 or 6 safeties. That's the most obvious example but there are 3 or 4 others that I just stared at mouth agape as a blitzer is a half second late for a sack before Duggan throws a prayer that any of our two deep would have picked off by instead is caught for 20+ yards and a first. The one major issue Orlando needs to take care of his linebackers inability to keep contain of a running QB. If he can't coach up the talent to do that he should be fired.
Imo y'all are way too reactionary. Orlando is staying any tbh a lot of the blitzes y'all had problems with forced passes that should have been intercepted but weren't because we had a walk on RB and a third string true freshman as the main safeties. The changes that need to be made are fire Meh, Warehime, and Meekins and hire a new WR coach, a new TE coach, and another defensive coach for either one part of the DL or for LBs. Ideally we get a rainmaker at TE to do what Drayton was supposed to do and get Samples back at WR to help us with Byrd and the rest of Dallas.
Watch Herman's reaction dumb fuck. He is fine with it and tells some dude moping to shut the fuck up. He probably made it happen so he could appease his team and keep the locker room bought in during a difficult time AND also get the scenario he wanted.
