Yea this the main thing I agree with.
I don't see an advantage to firing all the coaches or GM mid-season. That just creates a shitshow ala Jeff Saturday.

I can't get behind DJ being a franchise QB. AR can only get better by playing and so either he can be the QB of the future or we're going to need to draft someone. I'm afraid though that without a top pick, we'll be left with rolling with AR/DJ one more year or picking up Kirk Cousins or Matthew Stafford instead.

perhaps fortunately, there are no NFL quality QBs coming out of college this year.

Changes should and will be made but they should be made after the season.

Carlie needs to ask every potential GM hire one question-how are you going to get a franchise quarterback?

Because that’s all that matters. Without a quarterback, everything else is meaningless.

Carly will have zero trouble finding a GM. No dude worth his salt will give a shit we are crap and don't have a first round draft choice. You need an ego to run an NFL team, these guys need to believe in themselves. Its a crap shoot in any event. Team need a total metal shift. I would love to see someone actually set the goal as a Super Bowl win, not just making the fucking playoffs as what we as a team shoot for. Playoffs need to be a given in their minds. It all starts with Carly, lets hope we have a good one with her.

What about the rest of the candidates? Which one do you favor?

The Bills and Bears guys both sound really intriguing. Stay far away from the Eagles analytics guy from Harvard- we're dying under the weight of what appear to be some really smug analytics based morons (why do we keep repeating the sins of the past?).

At this point, given what we really need is a full blown culture remake, give me the grizzled vet in Agnew. A football lifer who might come in and get a little Polianesque in his waning years- get aggressive and get the fuck out of my way type. Let Carly interact with someone that will probably say "let me tell you how these guys really think and this is how we fire them up" vs right now what seems to be a culture of "me and Shane want them to think like this, so we're having to do a lot of training with them, to get them to see things the right way; Lou's system is great, it really is, they just need help to see it that way".

Then go get someone in the Shanahan coaching tree, or get one of Cigs coordinators, or fucking give Freeman 1/4 ownership of the franchise to leave ND. Get a HC and some coordinators that aren't fascinated with insane complex bullshit and finesse but instead just like to fucking get in street fights because they will punch you in the nuts and bash your head in with a brick while you sit there scrutinizing every step looking for an "advantage".

OVERHAUL THIS SHIT NOW! GET REAL FOOTBALL PEOPLE IN HERE!

This idea is sort of like sitting down in the bath tub and slitting your wrists because the ice maker went on the fritz.

When you burn down the house, all you’re left with is a pile of smoking crud and a bag of marshmallows. You had a home, and you traded it away for a chance to unroll a sleeping bag under some highway underpass.

It’s been tried before, with scant success.

I'm for burning down the house but saving some of the furniture. We need better players, we have got to draft better, but we have some really good players to build on. Defensively we are a mess but there is a lot to like about the offense. Unfortunately QB isnt one of them. Still, turn arounds happen all the time in the NFL and given new attitudes and a couple of decent drafts anything can happen. So keep the players who want to and can play but get rid of people who put this (and the last decade of teams) team together. That is what i see when i hope we burn the house down.

I agree, let's give Ballard more time!

I'm all for burning down Lucas Oil Stadium, keeping all of the players, and making them play 17 road games every year ...... and tell them that when they manage to make the postseason, Carlie Irsay-Gordon will build them a new stadium so that they can have their home games back.
