Calmete my dude. Old school includes my way or the highway and I won't change for anything. That's what Vic was. Fine bro, I won't agree with you anymore... sheesh
McDaniel should've known Fangio scheme wouldn't work with our players?

I honestly don’t understand the narrative that Fangio failed. Our D was > than our O the second half of the season. Even held the Bills to 14 points the last game w half the starters signed out the parking lot in pregame. Played good enough beat KC too. I don’t get the smearing of McD or Vic. We had a top defense - even w all of the injuries.
lol, that’s not how it works. In coaching or business. That only happens at the Academy Awards when a speech is running over.
My mistake.
TBH, I thought you were actually projecting that upon McD. I believe that has been one of your complaints. I may be mistaken, however.
Ok. So I know this is BSPN but, I will partially concede my point. But this article the coaches say they will adjust things in certain in game situations if/when they see something or in certain outcomes of plays. But generally they don't overrule play calls.
Super Bowl hangover: How often does a head coach overrule a coordinator?
Even if Dan Quinn had wanted to overrule Kyle Shanahan's playcalling in Super Bowl LI -- and he didn't -- could he realistically have done so?
Oh heck no, McD is the furthest thing from old school we've ever had I think.
What is the merit of the claim it didn't work?
There were more QB pressures and sacks this year than I can remember in a long time. The run D was stout as well.
The D made improvements under Fangio, also the D wasn't terrible under Flores. Ravaged by injuries took its toll, hard to judge a one and done under those circumstances.

I think the coaches personality's clashed and Fangio didn't appreciate the 'new way' of motivating players. I also think that an 'old school' coach has to be more flexible when situations dictate. We lost key players and still competed and there was an opportunity to be a hero on D but Fangio passed on it.
I wish I wouldn't have bought so many losing lottery tickets.
I agree. Fangio did a hell of a job with what he had to work with, especially given some of the circumstances.
Maybe some of the players balked - who cares? Do your job. Every great coach has detractors. I'll call out Holland as one who ended up having a great year, despite his yammering.
Anyhow. No need to worry with it, it's the NFL. Players move on, coaches move on.
Gonna be torches and pitchforks if Weaver doesn't do better, haha.
(FWIW, I feel he will do a decent job)
Fangio doesn't have one specific scheme. He's a grizzled DC veteran who can adjust his scheme to the defense and should have.
I suppose it depends on how one defines "scheme", but his philosophy/scheme/terminology is a pretty large branch on the defensive coaching tree. Sure, it has evolved over the years, but I disagree that he doesn't have one specific scheme.
Hell, last year he didn't even really have variations on the scheme.
Nice to see ya out of the safe space, brother.
Believe it or not, some of us miss you .... lol

You can def see why Fangio was so awful as a head coach. Overly stubborn and seems to have a very poor time communicating with players that aren't his favorites.

If it would have been the other way around, then I believe Grier would have offered to trade Fangio for a draft pick.
Fangio may have (probably) wanted to leave, but the decision was ultimately Grier's.
