anyone notice how his staff is basically a bunch of randoms from around the league as well as some guys that were here in the mcadoo era? Did no one want to come coach with him? DG brought in Shula out of no where. they picked bettcher with no prior experience working with him.
the guys been coaching for 30+ years and has no peers in the game. Not one guy worked with him before except Mcgovern I think... and that might've been from the defensive side of the ball in Minnesota.
On a egg her, he came with a great reputation. In fact, people here were talking that he would be so successful that he’d get a HC quickly and would have to be replaced. He has a hard job here coaching a line that doesn’t pass rush , inside LBs who cannot cover and a young secondary that doesn’t know its assignments. I’m not sure who would succeed under those circumstances but I wonder if Bettcher could have adjusted his style to better accommodate the weaknesses.

mcadoo was younger and didn't have prior head coaching experience, flopped in his second year, so mara wanted someone with prior HC experience, regardless of anything else.
just sad how absolutely terrible mara is at running his football team. every single decision he's made since 2013 has been wrong.
The same went for the defensive side of the ball where Bettcher was clearly a hire of the front office, because he had no prior relationship with Shurmur.
It's not really surprising when you consider that Pat Shurmur is a bad head coach with bad credentials. Losers hire losers. This was a knock of Shurmur is Cleveland too, that he buddied up with his assistants instead of demanding excellence.
Hal Hunter being here 2 years is unacceptable. you know what you have in him. why is he still here after year 1?
bettcher, another guy who i don't think brought anyone under him.
i don't buy this. maybe with older more established guys. otherwise new york is the most famous city in the entire world.
Hunter is a totally different story. Everybody questioned his qualifications given his record and that he was out coaching for a year

bettcher honestly didn't bother me. young DC with some success in AZ under todd bowles and on his own... obviously he did himself no favors by trying to create the Cards without Chandler/patrick peterson/honeyBadger lol.
but hal hunter... i mean wtf? we've had OLine issues for YEARS and this is the guy you bring in? why not just not hire a guy at all!
