You guys said the same thing when they hired Nolan and Sing. Do you really believe this is a good hire? Its natural for the fans to react with anger. Dude didn't even get a single interview request for a HCing job from any team.
Nolan was not a bad hire. He had a talent depleted team and trying to save his job put a number one pick in before he was ready. Man no NFL head coach has ever done that. Sing became a coach in 2003 and we made him a HC in 2009. That was an overreaction and a bad hire. Tomsula has been coaching for 15 years. A little less then Marvin stated but much more then Sing.
I want to see the staff he place before I jump the gun. Really I wanted Kubiak but between Gase, Tomsula, and Fangio..... None set my toes a tapping. Gase would have been my choice just because I wanted an offensive mind but it didn't happen but I was not involved with any of the interviews so how can't I state that Tomsula doesn't have an idea on where this offence needs to improve or contacts that will join his staff and help him achieve our overall goal of winning number 6.
My point this is not the same as hiring Sing and Nolan. First due to experience and the second.... We are way more talented...
To 190836, I wasn't sold on Nolan or Sing either, so don't put words in my mouth. I'm not even sold with his hire. I just appreciate posters who post real thoughts, and not ZOMG f**kING BAALKE YORK SUCK DICK. That does nothing for me. I want real dialogue.
dwett, Nolan was a terrible hire. We did some nice scouting, but that was more the FO than him. Don't care who had the "final trigger", Nolan was not the guy grinding through college tape. Agree we really needed an offensive mind to take over this job. None of the external candidates were "slam-dunks", but we needed to take a chance on a guy like Gase.
I just don't understand this move to hire Tomsula, at all.
