kaffeen Posted August 30, 2003 Share Posted August 30, 2003 How many years should Spurrier be given to prove he can be a successful "ball coach" at the NFL level? I think he deserves, as do all coaches, three to four years to prove themselves. Of course, I believe the caveat is that there should be some improvement each of those years (which does not necessarily equate to wins). If the playoffs are the measuring stick, I think he should be heading back to Gainesville if there isn't a playoff berth by next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codeorama Posted August 30, 2003 Share Posted August 30, 2003 I'm almost offended by this thread... He had no talent last year, he's gone out and got the talent he needs and the season hasn't even started yet... If Redskins fans ran the organization, it would be in worse shambles than it has been for the past 12 years... there would be new coaches every 3 games etc....

kaffeen Posted August 30, 2003 Author Share Posted August 30, 2003 C, I'm just curious to gauge the expectations of the fans. No offense intended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godeatgod Posted August 30, 2003 Share Posted August 30, 2003 Three years is a reasonable time for any coach. As far as expectations go, i'm expecting play-offs THIS year so anything less will be disappointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TennesseeCarl Posted August 30, 2003 Share Posted August 30, 2003 If there's no improvement this season, he's gone, either by retiring or firing. When you bring in a Spurrier, you want him for his Fun 'n Gun system. If that system fails - once again - in the NFL, is there really much reason to persist? Last year was the mulligan. This year, no excuses. We went out and brought in a ton of talent on offense. One would think Spurrier had input into those decisions. If there's no improvement, he's gone. I'm one of his biggest fans, but the NFL is about winning. Everything else is B.S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see what you are trying to say and I am not offended. If he does not do in in 2004 he will either hand Mr. Snyder his resignation, like he said he will or Mr. Snyder will fire him. I think it should be 3 seasons, he has the talent, give it a season to jell and see what happens next season when the new players have a year in the system. I realy don't see this team making the playoffs this season, not being a pessimist, just realistic, I have been a fan for too long to think that the off season aquisitions of big named, big money players will guarantee a playoff spot.

Craig Posted August 30, 2003 Share Posted August 30, 2003 3 seasons. Which explains my migrains for seasons 4 through 7 of the Norv Turner era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabblerouser Posted August 30, 2003 Share Posted August 30, 2003 He's done nothing to impress so far. But I would have to let him at least finish out his contract before even considering replacing him. I do expect some definte improvement by the offense considering the money and draft picks used on the offense. But the team needs time to gel and stabilize.

Jagsbch Posted August 30, 2003 Share Posted August 30, 2003 As a Gator/Jag fan all I can say is give this guy a QB and Hang on. All SOS need's is a QB. Mark is the answer for the Redskins. PR look's like another 1st round bust to me. But what do I know I only seen three pathetic series, pathetic wasn't even the word to describe it. If he was playing that horrible you'd think that he should have stayed in their top get more rep's, But steve couldn't handle the embarrasment among his many loyal fan's, and even after keeping Danny boy in there for practically the whole game the offense was still bunk, even with all day to throw the ball. Oh and what was Jacobs doing in there in the fourth if injury was Steve's concern? The way I see it, as long as your QB situation remains the same you can forget about a post season. No offense intended, But Mark Is the best thing that can happen to your franchise at this point. SOS is not the problem I promise you that.

PCS Posted August 30, 2003 Share Posted August 30, 2003 Jags, pathetic is that you've rushed to judgement on Ramsey based on 3 series in a game that meant nothing to anyone except to those really trying to make the team. Keep in mind it's S.S. who's naming PR as the starter. He must like the kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeSkins Posted August 30, 2003 Share Posted August 30, 2003 We should still have Marty as our ball coach. He took a team that was worse than last year's team, and was 0-5, and finished with a better record than we had last year. If Marty was still coaching, Snyder would have saved a fortune on coaches and players and had a playoff spot last year and this year. We'd have had much better drafts as well.

Thinking Skins Posted August 30, 2003 Share Posted August 30, 2003 SS is deemed to win this year. Right now he's thinking of ways to field the best possible team this season. I mean I see no reason why this team will not go 10-6 or 11-5. If you want to call him a bust if we dont we don't win the superbowl this year, or because we dont lead the league in points scored then go right ahead. But I think this guy is doing some stuff that is going to lead to a very VERY successful season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCS:BraveCaringSoul Posted August 30, 2003 Share Posted August 30, 2003 With this poll we have almost sunk to that lowest level of fandom usually reserved for fair weather Cowtroll fans and their AFC counterparts-- the "Fassel should be fired for that unneccesary and deceptive blitz on Chad" shouting, Jets Fans.

boozeman3 Posted August 30, 2003 Share Posted August 30, 2003 Originally posted by godeatgod Three years is a reasonable time for any coach. As far as expectations go, i'm expecting play-offs THIS year so anything less will be disappointing. Then brace yourself for the disappointment. Not trying to start a flame war here. Just stating the obvious. I am enough of a realist to say that my team will not sniff the playoffs unless everything breaks right. I am also enough of a realist to look at your roster and point a very accusing finger at your shortcomings and measure them against your strengths. You have a very good cornerback corps, linebacker corps and some promising wide receivers. You have a questionable quaterback, running game and a disaster area on the defensive line. If you want something that will not disappoint, then try 8-8. Then the cycle starts all over again for Spurrier. How many more wide receivers will he get...blah, blah, blah. That is the pitfall with getting an offensive "genius" aboard. He is out playing golf while you have legitimate questions to address. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobby1 Posted August 30, 2003 Share Posted August 30, 2003 Absolutly unbelivable will you people stop this why does everyone look at the bad things all the time. Spurrier is a good coach who went 7-9 in his rookie year which is good for a coach who was from college. One day The Redskins will get respect agian because nobody really ever says anything confiedent about them. Everytime I turn on NFL LIVE show they never talk about The Redskins at all. Like were opening the seaseon with the first game anf the question they asked on the show was will will win week one Bucks or Eagles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
