Looks like Lovie got the gig.
it's rare an NFL coach gets two different chances, let alone three like Lovie. He went 8-24 with the Bucs after his Bears tenure.
In 2 years on a trash team that just drafted their QBOTF in year 2. And Winston looked promising in year 1. What was he objectively expected to do with THAT team? What is the standard for the first two years on a trash team?
he should have been given at least 3 years. It's not fair to fire a coach after 2 seasons of a rebuild.
Agreed coaches should get 3 years but that doesnt always happen.
Then again what if we gave Chip Kelly 3 years? We'd miss out on Kyle for sure.
Kyle's record after '17 +'18 for us wasn't great either. I'm happy we had the patience to give him room to build.
But the garbage he inherited!
He chose to get rid of players and not retain others.
He CHOSE Brian Hoyer and Matt Barkley, and traded up to draft Beathard....when others were available for him. He had full control of who he wanted. Many coaches don't even get that. So no sympathy from those early years.
I'm glad he turned it around though.
He should get sympathy and more coaches should when inheriting mess. There is a thing called reasonable expectations. Not having them will create a turnstyle of coaches and more often than not, teams don't really become better when firing the HC.
