Hate those guys. We beefin'.

It's been pretty reliable so far; I had some connection issues early on in my new building but apparently that was just connection issues in the building in my tier. Been pretty solid of late, no real complaints - no contract is nice.

Do you hate me cut I hate STATS?

[DrRay11]

No, but I think Scott Linehan is more to blame at this point for our offense's shortcomings. STATSford has a cannon, yet we run all this dink and dime shit constantly.

On a scale of 1-10, how would you rate Gym as an NFL head coach?

[DrRay11]

Right now, I'd say somewhere between a 5 and 6 out of 10. That being said, unless he gets much better quickly, he'll hold the team back. His strengths are in his philosophies, statistics, and logical approach to each game.

However, he doesn't take it far enough. He needs to strengthen the team's discipline and have better backup options ready to bust out when his first game plan doesn't work. He needs better time management skills as well. The mismanagement of the last 53 seconds of the first half this week was brutal - that is where you need to try and go for the throat. Strengthen those three issues, and IMO you have an 8.5 out of 10 or some such, with the last missing points coming from lack of innovation, less-than-perfect player development, etc.

Sadly, he's looking awfully stubborn with his inability to recognize the fact that discipline is an issue, so I'm not sure about his ability to go further. Regarding the time management and lack of innovation, that is probably more Linehan - it would be interesting to see what Jim could do with another OC. I'm not whether he delegated the decision whether to settle with the lead or go for the throat at the half.

All in all, quite a bit of potential as a young coach, but needs to swallow his pride on a few key issues.

[Timone]

Solid. I'm still wrong, but I think I learned something from that post.
