What is so great about Gase? Anybody?
You won't find an answer from me.

If disagreeing with you, and having specific, factually backed reasons for disagreeing with you counts as bashing, then I'll gladly continue to 'bash' you.
I know exactly how he will do if he gets hired as a DC or HC in Miami, because I don't just look at ~ the stats ~.
I watch football. Lovie Smith is still running a simple, outdated defensive scheme that other NFL teams jump for joy at the chance to compete against, because even garbage can quarterbacks can carve it up like a Thanksgiving turkey.
I'd literally rather retain the guy we have now. He actually did a pretty good job taking over mid-season with no cornerbacks and no linebackers, and then losing his only legitimately good edge rusher.

Bash? Please. Get a grip. You don't know more about defense than a guy who fielded the #10 defense in the NFL..
Wow, somebody's getting upset.
Greg Schiano's 2013 Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Points allowed: 21st. First Downs allowed: 15th. Defensive SRS: +0.3 against Strength of Schedule +3.6
Lovie Smith's 2014 Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Points allowed: 25th. First Downs allowed: 30th. Defensive SRS: -3.3 against Strength of Schedule -1.5.
Lovie Smith's 2015 Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Points allowed: 26th. First Downs allowed: 26th. Defensive SRS: -4.2 against Strength of Schedule -3.0.
Their defense got worse two years in a row under Lovie, even after having a last place schedule with four games scheduled against the trainwreck AFC South this season. That was with Lovie's hand-picked coaches (including his sons) and Lovie's hand-picked defensive players.
Lovie Smith got fired because his number one qualification is that he used to run a good defense, and he's run a terrible defense in Tampa.
Hey im just saying those chicago teams had everything they needed to win multiple championships and lovie kept backing that damn qb til the window closed

I'm a computer warrior? This is a computer war, buddy. It's an internet message board. Come armed with some facts before you start melting down in here.
Let's get the thread back on track
I think the only reason a coach should be fired in 2 years or less is if he's lost the locker-room and/or is a public-image nightmare. Otherwise you gotta give the guy at least 3. If the defense sucked, let Lovie address the defense in the offseason and see how it turns out. Winston was showing good signs, that's not just ONLY Koetter, I'm sure Lovie had some big involvement with his growth.
Lololol computer war. You made my day with that.
