Title of the thread is a joke. I'm far less pissed about us promoting Turk than I am us promoting Brandon, Guy, Modrak and all the other idiots who year-after-year put us behind the 8ball with a lack of talented players.
I don't think Turk can possibly be any worse than Fairchild. This is one spot where I actually don't mind as much that we didn't go outside the organization. I think Turk has a good grasp of what our guys can and can't do, and I'm at least somewhat optimistic that he'll be able to play to their strengths a lot better than our former "OC" Fairchild did. I really don't feel the need to rant about Turk, because this is the one recent move I can actually UNDERSTAND.
I have a FAR bigger problem with Brandon being named basically Wilson's right-hand man. Could it be ANYMORE OBVIOUS that Wilson cares about how many are in the stands more than the numbers on the scoreboard? I suppose he's not an idiot though. I guess Wilson's figured out that 6-7 wins per year and being on the fringes of the playoff race in Week's 11-14 is good enough to keep our loyal fans spending their money on tickets.
Do I think Turk will do a good job? No, I don't. It's not because I dont think he lacks a good football mind. Truthfully, I dont care if its Turk, Martz, Sherman, Garrett, whoever. They're not going to get the job done with the idiots we have in the front office.
It's people like Guy who give $10 million contracts to players like Royal, Reed and Price- not our coordinators. His penalty for COUNTLESS errors in personnel evaluation leads to a promotion?
It's people who have a part in the draft like Modrak that evaluated guys like Mike Williams, McGahee and Losman. That leads to a promotion?
Jim Overdorf overpaid the **** out of Kelsay and Schobel last year. I'm surprised he hasn't been promoted to Vice President of Salary Cap or some **** like that yet. Seriously, did he just accept the clients' first offer? Was their even a negotiation?
And to top it off, a guy like Brandon, who's publicly known as a marketing guy and not a football guy; is the closest thing WIlson will pay to a General Manager now.
Lastly, seems a lot more power and decision making will fall into Jauron's lap. Great. Let's give a guy who's been a NFL head coach for 8 years and has reached 8 wins more more exactly ONCE in those 8 campaigns more influence.
Unbelievable Wilson, you peice of ****.. Good luck, Turk.
