If KS is indeed hired, he will have to get the Rams into the post season party no later than his 3rd year if he wants to see a 4th.

I hope it's not that narrowly dogmatic.

dogmatic? oh my zn you should know me better than that. Again, I will repeat myself for the last time...... I was on board with Fisher remaining the HC for the 2016 season and didn't raise the white flag until the Carolina game.

(with many of the same analytical observations to support your narrow dogmatic rebuttal) I also gave JF more mulligans than a large handful of our Herd posters)... enough was enough no matter how many things went wrong out of JF's control.

The Rams are in Los Angeles now brother. There will not be the same mercy for a new HC like there was for JF.

Let's say Keenum walks, and BOTH Goff and Mannion combined are healthy for only 27 of the next 64 games.

Hypothetical drastic injures? shoot go ahead and combine that with the new HC losing 8 games by one point in his 3rd year...... really? of course there is a perfect scenario for a coach to warrant a 4th year. My statement was about standards for the new HC being met and a sprinkle of common sense.

Nobody is going to convince me that the next HC is going to get the same grace as JF was given.

Do you do the "playoffs or bust" thing if you also like him as a coach? I mean to ME that would be just gratuitously self-destructive.

Yes, I'm pretty confident that 7-8-1, 7-9 and 6-10 will be a bust after 3 seasons and the new HC hired in 2017, will not see a 4th year.

Or add this. Let's say they hire KS, and he's actually a good coach, but this happens.

As I said, you have healthy viable starting caliber qbs (assuming Mannion is that) for only 27 of the next 64 games.

ADD this. In that same span, you have a relatively healthy, relatively experienced, decent OL in only 20 of those games.

And then let's say the overlap between having the OL and having the starting caliber qb is 15 games.

I wouldn't fire the coach because if that situation keeps up, a new coach is going to make no difference whatsoever.

SO if KS is good, wish him the OL and the qb. Cause. If he's good he can win with that. If he's good, and he doesn't have those 2 things combined, he won';t win.

Unless you can give me examples of coaches who DID win under those conditions. I can't think of any.


...

I don't mean to speak for Florida_Ram, but I think that one could surmise that his statement assumes a relatively healthy team. I know you're throwing out random scenarios for injuries and if that happened then I agree those are extenuating circumstances and in that case firing him after 3 years might not be prudent. But if the team is relatively healthy in those 3 years I would expect to see a lot of improvement in that time.

You spoke just fine for me RamsFanSinceLA.....
