Fox & Staff not to return

Maybe the coaching staff won't be coming back means Richardson didn't want to pay the bus fare back from Atlanta.

 

EMERGENCY THEORY

I am looking at this thing from JR's perspective, because he has the power to change this team overnight. The letter to the PSL owners basically admitted a mistake and promised that he would do everything in his power to put a quality product on the field. In addition, PSL payments/ticket orders are being sent out soon. Do you pump up the fan base and then bring in Grimm? Do you make all these promises and not do everything you can to bring in a big name coach, especially one that will basically lock up Luck? Or do you fart around and hire some low-priced assistant coach and have Luck return to Stanford? He would not be allowed in public after such a move.

Jerry was caught up in winning the battle between the players and owners and decided to clean house. He figured it would position him to return in a good situation. I also think he figured the other owners would follow suit. They did not. His plan backfired, and his team became the laughing stock of the league. He admits most of this in the letter.

However, the timing of the letter is also important. We had three games left and it looked like we were going to get the first pick. He sends out a letter. We then lock up the first pick, and before we play the last game, he fires the staff. I think talks began when the letter went out. I think he fired Fox when San Francisco fired Singletary and became the front runner for Harbaugh.

Jerry does not have to hire a GM, so he has a leg up on the 49ers. They are scrambling to hire one and then they will interview. We can interview now. Maybe JR does not have the $$ to compete with SF for Harbaugh, but he has the chip he needs to get Harbaugh, who is the chip he needs to get Luck. Two birds, one Fox.

It is also a coincidence that we fired Fox three days before the Orange Bowl, where I imagine Hurney and JR are right now.

I have spoken.

 

1. Skipper, yes. Baker fuck no. Meeks, I couldn't care less if he's retained or not. Good, strong coach, but he's not someone that isn't replaceable.

2. Lewis, God no to HC. Just, God no. As an assistant? Sure, there are a ton worse than he is.

3. Not sure why there is so much hate for Grimm. He's a "boring" candidate, but he might be a goddamn good HC, no one knows yet. The fact he was damn near hired for the Steelers should say something.

 

Well..."good" organizations don't fire the HC and keep assistants, only so that the new HC all of a sudden has to deal with owner faves.

 

I hope this.

 

Grimm<Fox.


Please God, no.

 

Mills is going to stay, unless something crazy happens. Chryst is chameleon enough that he could stay, and has experience with various candidates from Harbaugh to Rivera.

 

I was trying to think. Is this the first time they have cleaned house? I know Fox kept alot of the coaches from Seifert and some of them were around with Capers. I'm surprised by Meeks not that he was a great coach but they have drafted to fit his scheme of defense the last two years. Offensively other than a couple of spots we could fit most coaches schemes. Defensively they have drafted speed and have speedy vets. It's going to be interesting going forward.

 

I think some will be rehired if we act quickly. Do you think JR hears the fans screaming for Harbaugh? He was at the Clemson game. If I see him, I give him an earful of wisdom and all my sentences end in "Harbaugh."
