Greg Schiano's NFL career's death watch thread

[MISTERGEE]

i have a feeling that sometime soon the name of this thread will be change to "schianno coach of the year 2014 watch"

I'll give credit where credit is due - but first you have to decide whether this victory was a result of Stafford having a horrific day, or you're convinced that a total of 10 first downs and 20 yards of rushing is enough to compete and win in the NFL on a weekly basis.

They are the most penalized team in the NFL and still have no idea how to fix it.
Glennon is the real deal so far, they expand the playbook each week and he's responded - two excellent down field throws for large gains, and the bench is deep on both sides of the ball. The team is built to win now, and as I've said before, has playoff caliber talent.

Maybe he just needs the entire season to figure it out - who knows?

and gary kubiak receives the ignominious prize as first nfl coach to be fired this season. even suffering a mini stroke didn't grant him a reprieve.
a qb can kill a coaches career.

A couple more wins and Schiano might survive.

One thing that he absolutely must be commended for is that through all of this adversity, the team has not quit on him. Not of a second.

Unfortunately in every measurement - given the level of talent, the team is woefully under performing - they still lead the league in penalties, and they still struggle to make 2nd half adjustments to close a game out. Buffalo is a bad team. Atlanta is a bad team. Matt Stafford had one of the worse days of his career that attributed to the Detroit win (20 total offensive rushing yds and 10 first downs gets you killed 99.99% of the time - welcome to any given Sunday).

This week is his test. He has the 49er's at home. A team that is now fighting for a wildcard. On paper, the two match up well - obviously Glennon is no Kapernick, but Tampa's secondary is better and the D line is beginning to develop something resembling a pass rush.

Should be an exciting game to watch - if they play like they belong on the field with them, not necessarily win, but at least look like they can compete - he may well have done enough to redeem himself.

If we get the same menu of bone-headed broken coverages, bad personal fouls at inopportune times, procedure penalties, too many men/not enough men on the field, et al, It should be the tipping point I'd imagine.

What are your thoughts on the O-Line? To me, they have really underperformed this year. Joseph looks like he hasn't fully recovered from his injuries and Penn along with the others are just getting beat up front game after game. That along with the non talent at WR other than Jackson is what really has impressed me about Mike Glennon so far. He has been playing well in his first year despite the fact he has had no offensive weapons...(what are they on their 4th string RB) and a porous offensive line.
