That's my point. Freeman HC should be able to do that, which would give Rees some better toys to play with.

Bit shouldn't Rees be doing that already?

hasnt started for me

Someone came on for a second and said to the reporters "please use the raise hand feature" for questions... then went silent again.

 

[Wild Bill]

The problem with this is that he’s terrible at his job. Idc how many players like him his offense is shit and he’s not a very good recruiter either. Give me a real OC who has HC experience that can help mentor Freeman.

Who would you go get? Maybe Mullen wants another OC job. He doesn't recruit and that's not good.

Jack looks STRESSED. Maybe pissed? Not coming across as a guy who knows who his next hire will be (Freeman)...

 

[pumpdog20]

Swarbrick looks tired as fuck.

He looks terrible.

Presser is nothing but lip service so far.

 

[wizards8507]

Holy shit, no announcement whatsoever!? Not even an interim?

 

[BeauBenken]

"It's not Jack Swarbrick's culture; it's not Brian Kelly's culture; it is the culture of those young men (referring to the players)." You tell 'em Jack. Also said we have the best staff in America.

 

[wizards8507]

Not savvy.

 

[irishff1014]

No decision on interim coach. This is going to be bad i can see this already.

 

[NDdomer2]

wow - if we name an interim HC he would not be a candidate for the job

 

[ThePiombino]

WOW they may not even name an interim... Said if they did name an interim, they would not be a candidate for the HC job. Fucking what?!

 

[BeauBenken]

Jack just said whoever the Interim would be would NOT be a candidate for the job. WHAT.

 

[Whiskeyjack]

Holy shit, no announcement whatsoever!? Not even an interim?

Confidence cratering. Swarbrick talking about "going out on a new search." fuuuUUUUUUU

 

[pumpdog20]

Well... Freeman isn't the home run it was made to seem.

 

[NDdomer2]

this doesnt sound like Freeman at all

 

[IrishLax]

Cautionary tale for those that would move on to a “proven” coach —

Years ago, the Washington Redskins had Sean McVay, Kyle Shanahan, and Matt LaFleaur all on their staff. They were all obviously bright coaches but because of poor decision makers being bad at their jobs they didn’t want to promote someone who “wasn’t ready.” Other teams were, and now all of them are wildly successful HCs on teams that are routinely in the playoffs or have made Super Bowls. The Washington Football Team has done none of those things.

The way team building and roster management works in the NFL is obviously different, but sometimes you have to roll the dice. That’s what Clemson did with Dabo and Oklahoma did with Stoops. Making decisions out of fear / conventional thinking is how you fall behind.

 

[Whiskeyjack]

I guess we can kiss the 2022 and 2023 classes goodbye.

 

[NDdomer2]

players get no input on candidates

 

[lcaps20]

Holy shit, no interim Coach and insisting on head coaching search. We're so fucked

This is going to be rough.
