PCJS marriage

[Michael K.]

The most confusing thing about this, IMO, is the thought that Pete, as the VP of Football Operations and John Schneider, the GM, aren't capable of finding the next great coach, and instead we would be stuck with the next Tom Flores or Jim Mora JR.

Why would you leave the search up to either of them if say Jody Allen felt like you?

I don't think she does. And personally, I am not sure there needs to be wholesale changes. Just some of the philosophy I don't like. Who knows. I can tell you that I think the likely hood that they are fired is low. I think the scenario works two ways....they continue this way until Pete or John or both decide they want to leave, or Pete decides handling both roles is more than he wants and moves strictly upstairs.

Still, these guys are future hall of famers as some are saying, but not capable of finding a new coach, or even an innovative play caller that his handed the offense? How an that be? So, are they Hall of Famers, or are they riding a few good drafts and a Franchise QB?

Pete has a contract that runs through next season, that to me will be the the deciding factor. I think he probably retires, but who knows. I don't see it as like a Joe Paterno situation, a faded glory, I think PC is right in the thick of things. And its going to be tough to walk away from RW in is prime. Its going to need to be addressed a season earlier, if he gets an extension or not. In any event then you have JS looking for a new HC. The both of them getting canned in the next couple seasons, perhaps, I tend to doubt it.

Yeah it would be pretty surprising if there was a Jerry Sandusky on the Hawks staff.

Paterno had already turned into a guy they needed a way to ease out the door as I remember it, it was unfortunate how it ended but it did the trick. If the Hawks were playing .500 ball for the last couple seasons and PC seemed to be losing it, maybe in a Chris Peterson sort of way, losing the fire, but i just don't see it, not yet

He definitely isn't losing the fire but I guess nobody thought Peterson was either.....
