If I hear Mularkey say we are so close as a team one more time...

And yet so far away as a coaching staff.

 

So close To what? Being able to beat backups regularly?

 

I was pounding the table for Zimmer, he would have been great for this franchise. At least I like the Viks, nice to see them doing well. But damn, that could have been us. Instead, they did a "HC search" and hired Mularkey and I was deflated. It'll suck if he's here next year, but I think reality is he will be. But if Robskie is still the OC, I won't be able to get excited for next year. Not one bit.

 

I was all about the zim man too

 

That was way before Mularkey hire.

 

Zimmer wasn't available when we hired Mularkey, it was the year we hired Whisenhunt.

 

We wish...

 

This is very true. Look at the Falcons this year as a great example. They have almost the exact same team returning, but yet their offense has regressed tremendously. Losing a play caller and offensive guru like Shannahan was a huge blow to them.

Coaching matters and ours is just getting worse and worse on the offense.

 

This. So much this. I wanted him so bad.

Or Gase. Or Hugh Jackson (I'm not going to hold the Browns against anyone).

 

Jackson is not a HC, bring him in as an OC and you got something
