    Wow, you REALLY have this backwards!

    Check out what I bolded. We have done NOTHING but move in the right direction and progress? Did our offense move in the right direction? No...they went backwards. Did our playcalling progress? No, it got even more predictable. Did our OL get better? No, they were worse this season. Did they rest Murray when they knew he was playing hurt? No, they kept giving him the bulk of the carries and saved Henry for...no reason. Did Mariota get better and progress this season? No, he was worse. These are facts...not opinions! So your sentence is wrong.

    JRob is smart enough to realize we are good enough to occasionally make the playoffs and with giving Mariota the reins and some luck, we might win a playoff game. But with this offense, playcalling, and game mismanagement, we were not gonna win a SB.

    As a fan you're happy to have a winning season and happy to make the playoffs and wow...we won one. But that's not the goal of the organization. Our goal is to WIN a Super Bowl. Mularkey explaining that Mariota progressed and improved, Ronbiskie did a great job, and no changes were needed tells you, me and everyone else that we would never reach the next steps needed to win a championship.

    When you tell a coach you want to extend him but the offensive staff needs a shakeup, they didn't lie to anyone. They wanted to extend him as HC but make changes to the offense to better utilize all the talent we have.

    JRob and, I'm happy to say, ownership are in lock step in the vision that they want a championship and for that, you should be happy. That's wanting to win. You should never be cheering for losing!!!

    That's cool - plenty of young, talented candidates to choose from still. Gonna be a fun week. I wouldn't bank on Jim Schwartz though. This is Jrob's first real hire and he's not going to want to bring in another ex-Titan retread when he's trying to make his stamp on the organization.

    I would absolutely love him as our OC developing Marcus.

    Hiring an OC and coaching are not the same thing. You have coaches like McVay and Pederson who are not only the HC, but are the offensive playcallers. Then you have a coach like Mike Tomlin who is a hands off guy and lets his coordinators do their thing.

    The very FACT that Mularkey thought the offense and Mariota progressed and his OC did a very good job shows the breakdown since JRob and the rest of the world knows they didn't. But they gave Mularkey the opportunity to make changes and stay. He and JRob could have come to an agreement on what they wanted the offense to look like and how to maximize Mariota's skillset and jointly looked for coaches who would fit that bill. Seahawks and Panthers lost a lot of staff this year but the HC's are staying with Rivera being given an extension.

    No one was lied to. Mularkey thought he did enough to keep his job and everyone on his staff and his excuse of injuries and a playoff win would protect him. JRob and ownership had a different vision. Mularkey didn't want to change so the Titans made the bigger change.

    JRob's not messing around!

    Isn't now the time we're supposed to be seeing Peyton Manning and Bill Cowher threads, not Bill Bellicheck and Nick Saban?

    Did you mean Luke Fickell? He's been mostly a DC, not an OC.

    By QB rating, he was in the top 10 in 2016! That's a FACT you can't ignore or call potential or anything else. That is simply very good!!!

    For some reason you hate Mariota and that's fine, but don't pretend he hasn't played well his first two seasons and did a heck of a job in the second half of the KC game to greatly help us win it!

    Watch the Pats game without a few crazy good Brady throws and a few Brady audibles...but that kind of offense would work well for Mariota. The Rams offense too...or Kyle Shanahan's...or Doug Pederson's...

    You get the picture!
