I havenāt read the thread since about 10:00 last night. Iām not going to try to catch up. Iāve seen whatās being reported by CTJ, et al, and I donāt even want to know the meltdown thatās probably only in its infancy. Iāll just say this:
This shit is messy. If you fire Tom, you put yourself in the position of having to fill the spot RIGHT NOW. Thatās what got us Charlie and Tom. Iām perfectly content with how itās going. CDC is being methodical and heās not willing to mortgage our future on another gamble. Heāll either stick with the gamble he has (Tom), which I donāt think will ultimately happen, or heāll find as close to a sure thing as possible. Even if our worst case scenario happens (Tom stays), we will have our kids in the second year of the same system, hopefully with a spring and fall camp. Our defense should be filthy with a real year of preparation. Our offense might even get better, especially at QB. Maybe we get a new OL coach with a brain and everything gets better. Who knows?
Things arenāt good right now, but weāre a hell of a lot better off than we were under Charlie. Itās not dumpster fire time, yet. We can be patient if the final result is the best possible result. Until we know that result, temper tantrums will only make things worse.
Obviously, Iām choosing to trust CDC. The fact that heās not making knee-jerk, purely emotional decisions should encourage all of us.
Go find something to be thankful for. All will end well.
