Jigga Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Why does it seem as though every new college football coach is a "good hire" and every new NFL hire is ZOMG turrble up in here?

The_Admiral Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 I'm not nearly as down on the Bears hiring of Trestman as it seems most of you are.He had eight years to not not be in the NFL and it didn't happen. In a league that rewrites the rulebook every season, that's an eternity. In the time since he has had a job in the league, he's been coaching goofy giant-field-three-down football, college football, or not coaching any football at all. I don't ask for my NFL head coach to have been an NFL head coach, but at least maybe try having been in the league at some point during or after the last two presidential terms.He's gonna run a west coast offense.

dbadefense1990 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Yeah, I don't see how Penn State got off "easy"For the amount of hell Sandusky put those kids through, the whole university system knowing about it but keeping silence, and of their idiotic fan base saying Sandusky and Paterno deserve no blame, Penn State should have gotten a permanent death penalty and immediate stripping of all athletic funds to the university. The whole wiping of 14 years worth of games and their scholarship losses is in my book a "slap in the wrist." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, compared to what Penn State got, USC is the team that got the "slap on the wrist."

That DOES make my Martz-o-Meter go off like crazy, but I'm not adverse to taking the ride. His positional hires have been impressive so far, and keeping Marinelli is a good move. I don't think that Emery would've hired him if he wasn't the best of all those candidates (which admittedly may not be saying a lot). Ye of little faith.

OH GREAT DON'T GET TOO LONELY UP IN THE VANGUARDI know this is a bit using the exception to make a new rule, but Dick Vermeil came back to the league and pretty much rewrote the rule book on how to play in the NFL. Not to say Trestman will turn the Bears around, to the extent they need turning around, but its not impossible to return to the NFL and have success even after a long time away. My guess so far this off season is that none of the coaching hires this off season will do much to change the trajectory of those franchises. I think McCoy in San Diego has the best shot, but otherwise most of these franchises will be rehiring in 3 years I would imagine. 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like that he isn't some ancient retread and proven loser. The fact that Dean hired a young up-and-comer certainly gives me hope that things will be done differently by this regime. Considering what McCoy did in Denver with Quinn and Tebow, maybe Rivers' career can be salvaged after all. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
