Fisher should be fired?
Not this year, but if he can't put a winning team on the field, absolutely.

Oh, Shotty. I think that might be up for discussion, but until you do it, that's a tough discussion, hard job.Not this year, but if he can't put a winning team on the field, absolutely.

Harder solution.
I could see Fisher replacing Shotty after this year but i'm not sure i see it making a big difference. If we're going to succeed under Fisher (imo of course) it's going to be with really great defense. And though it may not be a lock, i think that's a very real possibility...
I am posting this without reading the entire thread. I'm completely plastered drunk on vodka, and I'm pissed at my wife because she criticized my pre Thanksgiving shopping on my day off. So if any of y'all disagree you can kiss my pimply white behind. (with all due respect of course)
So it's 1st and goal on the 6(?) yard line with 1:40 left in the game? (I'm completely going off drunken memory, help me out here assholes!) 1st down run for 2.5 yards give or take. 2nd down throw into double coverage for a INT? Why not run again, burn time off the clock, run again to try for a TD, if not there, kick a FG to tie. Why throw into coverage?
I'm tanked out of my gourd, if any of this doesn't make sens or is wrong, please feel free to correct it. BTW kiss my ass.
The only QB to ever play well in BS's offense is Brett Favre and he already had had a HOF career.
Where are Schotty's success stories? Who has he ever developed into a probowler?
All he's ever done is take high draft picks and make them appear to be busts...
I think we have been stuck with him because of Bradford.
Fisher said he came here in large part because of Sam. In trying to keep some consistency around him, he's keep Schotty around to help develop Bradford.
I think (no I really hope), that if we draft a new QB for the future this year, we'll go a new direction with a OC as well.
I guess that would be my biggest concern should they decide to replace Schotty. We kept hearing that changing OCs was holding Bradford back all those years, and that once he got some consistency with an offensive scheme he was going to be lights out. Then we more or less heard the same thing with regards to Quick and Austin, how they weren't really going to get it until their third year or so. Even Robinson and Mason needed a few games before the coaching staff decided he had learned enough to be trusted in the starting lineup. So if they switch OCs does that mean some of the key guys are going to need 5-6 games, if not more, to figure it out? I'm diagnosing from a distance here, but neither Quick nor Austin seem like the brightest bulbs on the Christmas tree - if we lose yet another half of season because the offense is sputtering to learn a new system...
Or maybe as suggested above, maybe Schotty's system is too complicated. But that doesn't explain Bradford's early struggles with new coordinators...
How quickly, realistically, can the players we have get up to speed with a new system and how badly, if at all, would a new system impact our won-loss record at the beginning of next year?
Its so complex in fact that there's only a handful of people who can figure it out.Nothing beats a complex low scoring offense...
Schottenheimer’s offense requires a great deal of input from the QB. T hey are expected to make crucial calls at the line and have the ability to change plays.
I could really see us having an effective offense...even under Schotty. But we need a QB. I don't think it's crazy to believe our offense could have been a middle of the pack unit this year with a league average starting QB. And if we can shore up the IOL in the off-season, maybe add a weapon somewhere, and allow our young players to continue to grow...I think we have a lot of upside on offense. We just need a QB. Bradford can be the guy...but he has to stay on the field. Which means we need a Plan B behind Bradford...a real Plan B. Not a standard backup QB like Hill.
