FIRE Nick Caley Thread

You really thought this team was a superbowl contender? The offense has SO MANY deficiencies. With No Nico and then Schlutz going out early, who did the Patriots have to focus on? They blanket Kirk and no one else was consistently getting open. There was no run game. I like Woody, but he is NOT a #1 RB. The Oline was shuffled again and was getting no push.

The Bears invested in their Oline, have 3 WRs that could be #1s and great TE. RB Swift is a true #1 RB.
Even then, Caleb threw 5 INTs in 2 games and not getting the hate. Not even going to mention Josh Allen’s turnovers.

The Texans need to stop shopping at TEMU and invest in their Oline offense. They need draft/sign a guard and center, sign Breece Hall (or draft a RB above the 4th round…haven’t done that since Ben Tate), and sign a #2 WR while hoping Tank Dell comes back and Higgins/Noel continue to develop. Another TE would help (can’t count on Brevin Jordan staying healthy). Also, GET A VETERAN OC. If you cant get McDaniel, hire Mike McCarthy.

 

Nick caserio come from the patriots where they used to just plug in cast offs and it worked that can’t be done here at a high rate like there you don’t have the great coach or QB ever. Gonna have to add talent on offense.

 

There's a handful of John Carrol guys out there for Caserio to hire.

 

Stroud did better in that system to me. Bobby got canned because the oline was a hot mess.

 

You mean the system that requires THE CENTER to take on all the pre snap responsibilities? Choke Job Stroud flourished under this system? Shocked Pikachu face.

 

Ain’t gonna lie, part of that was in the back of my mind. Caserio playing 4D chess

Well Brady did it with castoffs and no-name guys, let’s see if Bernard can. (And maybe we “lower” his price tag in the process)

Yeah he had Moss at one point and Gronk and Hernandez but he also had the Amendola’s, the Welker’s, the Danny Woodhead’s.

Give us your disgruntled problem players, your castoffs, we’ll turn them into useful players.

and had the legendary Dante Scarnecchia coaching OL.
and Josh McDaniels as OC.

 

Honestly, how can Caley even get an accurate assessment? Caley is not David Culley weird. But First Time is First Time. Eeverything about his hiring indicates "multi-year" effort.

As a first year OC, he had to repair and overhaul entire offense top to bottom. He needed to improve on or change the identity of the established players. While every coach has to inherit different coaches not their people, that doesn't help a first year OC's lack of familiarity

He was given bargain signings to replace Pro Bowl o-lineman. All the main weapons were injured throughout season and into last game. The Pro Bowl RB didn't play (not Chubb). Worked in 4 rookies into main roles.

Just for the *star* QB to crap the bed anyway

And it's actually all on Super Bowl or Bust terms 1 year

Caley is an indictment on team management. And still Caley actually did improve the offense overall, possibly even in spite of the QB. I give Caley a generous B grade, and it's 3 CJ plays from a B+. He can use this on his resume to secure NFL work on a high note, not a fail

 

Former Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel informed the Browns he’s withdrawing from their head coaching search ahead of a scheduled in-person interview Wednesday, per sources.

McDaniel — who is still a candidate for the Ravens and Raiders HC vacancies — is interviewing for the Chargers offensive coordinator job today. He has multiple OC offers and could have a new home soon.

 

Jon Gruden pointed out that two of CJ's interceptions, including the pick-6, were on naked bootlegs TO HIS LEFT. Gruden thought those play calls were terrible. Caley is a moron. We need a new OC.

 

Was Caley an upgrade over Slowik? All season long we had players that couldn’t even line up properly. That’s a coaching problem, right?

 

Love me some illegal motions.

 

I don't know the numbers but I'm sure that was worse last season.

 

Over Bobby Slowik? Nope.

 

If we want to give CJ a chance. And I think that is our least damaging path. McDaniel is the call. Spend the money. With his offense and grid, coupled with our generational defense it would be a legit shot at the Super Bowl.

Caley isn’t the one. The guy couldn’t get plays off all season. But if we change, go big, don’t hire the next first year guy.

Our defense turns everyday JAGs into heroes. Like the Patriots offense used to do. Our ju-ju is due to WAJ and the secondary - it makes everybody else better and is our strength.

if we ran out an NFL level offense. Whoa Nelly.

 

I bet if you added up all pre snap penalties from this year it still wouldn’t equal all of Tunsil’s false starts.

 

Nothing against Caley but I was shocked he was the best we could get at OC. I felt he got better as the year went on.

 

McDaniel to Chargers

 

So much for sacrificing another OC for CJ and getting McDaniel

 

Texans had 18 false starts this season in 19 games, average is 21.2. Texans had 4 illegal formations, average is 3.5. Last season it was 25 false starts and 4 illegal formations.
