Fox's hires / assistant coaches

Fox's guys. They pretty much blow.

Meeks - fail.
Baker - fail.
Davidson - fail.
Sherer - fail.
Crossman - fail.

It seems like when you see successful teams, they have solid groups of assistants. It doesn't seem like Fox has done very well with this current group, and that's his job.

Sad.

 

The asst coaches can only do what the head coach allows. All blame on Fox.

 

It seems true. Every attempt at an improvement is a downgrade. Not that improvements weren't needed at times but you'd think sometime it would work, even out of dumb luck.

 

I can't call him a fail, he seems to be no better or worse than McCoy.

 

What chipshot said, though. His job is to make things better.

We have alot of talent. Solid Oline. Solid receivers. Solid running backs. A QB that has succeeded when the defense got off the field on 3rd downs.

I don't think we're far off. Somehow our defense got to sucking big dicks. Our dline sucks - even peppers. Maybe they shouldn't suck - maybe it's coaching. I dunno. I just don't see how we can be far from being very good. It just seems like a couple of parts that needed replacing last year were replaced with WORSE parts.

And I hate to say it - but they seem soft. They seem soft, and fox seems soft. Never thought I'd say that.

And Fuck Danny Crossman, and Fuck Fox for not firing his weak ass.

 

Crossman is a definite fail.

Scherer isn't a fail, to me.

Davidson is no fail. He had a shit game this week, though.

Meeks would be an upgrade if we could tackle. That makes no sense. I like our LBs coach too. The other defensive assistants, I didn't get those hires at first. Individual players on the DL and in the D backfield, I'm OK with how guys have developed there despite a high pick at each being slow out of the gate.

 

damn, i am so tired of watching our special teams put us in difficult positions. Baker outkicks his coverage...or takes too long to get the punt off. Our gunners cant make a play. Our punt returners can't catch the frigging ball, and if they do there is no chance for a decent return. We have a kickoff specialist who can't kick touchbacks indoors (and on turf). Our KO return team is a frigging joke.

Field position killed us last night in the second half and that is mostly on special teams. We started our drives last night on the 20, 20, 16, 20, 10, and 20. Their first two drives of the second half were basically at mid-field and they turned them into ten points.

 

It doesn't help that we've given him nothing to work with at DT. I think he's good enough. I think we need better players, too.

Again, not much to work with. And Sal wasn't necessarly getting the most out of some better players. I think he deserves a little more time.

Yes. I was patient with him at first, but this needs to stop.

Hard to judge. I think people were delusional to belive that a new QB coach would make Jake better. I get the sense that he might be a better playcaller than Davidson, which isn't saying very much.

Obviously. It's on Fox for keeping him around this long.

 

It's not the Dline's responsibility to teach the LB's and secondary to tackle.
