Billick for coach


LindellProStaf

Recommended Posts

To say a player makes a coach is laughable as eventually the coaches true colors will show. That is like saying Brady made Bilichek or like mentioned that SF players make Harbaugh look good when the roster was pretty much the same the day he took over and made that team into a contender from the day he started.

Coaches are there to prepare a player and to make sure they are in the best position to suceed not just a motovator for players with great athletic ability. Some coaches are great coordinators but given controls of a full team and they fail. That is what it looks in the case of the MN Vikings. Although the sexy thing to do would be go and hire one of the great coaches on the sidelines watching but the better thing would be to find a head coach elsewhere that has experience and just needs an oppurtunity to suceed. With that said the team is not a good team and even with the best coaching on the planet they still will be .500 or under team. They need better corners and they need an offensive line that can give the QB a little time before he has a defender in his face or chasing him out of the pocket

In fact think about the KC qb Alex Smith...he was written off almost as a bust but then Harbaugh comes in and puts him in good situations and tailors the game to his abilities and works from there. Now he goes to another great coach and we see the same results...a qb making the needed plays to get his team the W's adn the talk of being a bust has been completely lost. If he would have had one more poor coach in his career he would be out of the league or holding a clip board as a back-up but a good coach came in at the right time for him and put him in the best situation to succeed.

People need to remember that a players can make a coach look like a genius, not the other way around.

The coaching staff is responsible for putting together the game plan, and then adjusting that game plan during the game, to be able to put the players in the right positions to win. Look at the Kalil quote after the game yesterday "We got out schemed." That right there tells you that they got OUT COACHED! Plain and simple. With all those blitzes that the Panthers ran yesterday and pressure on the QB, why didn't we see some screen passes to AP? Cause the coaches can't see the forest in front of them because of all the trees.

The job of the coach is to get his players and his team to compete at their highest level. Thats not happening with the purple right.

I'd like to see multiple coaching changes. The oline has regressed and is horrible. Dline is okay and underperforming. Dbackfield is raw and mistake prone.

Make some coaching changes to see if anything improves. At least that will give u some ideas of where improvement is needed. Right now it appears to me like we need about 45 new players.

Ever hear Peyton Manning say his team was outcoached?

Yeah didn't think so

You bring up the one exception to the rule, so to speak. Manning also calls his own plays 90% of the time right at the line of scrimmage. He REACTS to what scheme the defense is giving to him and calls his plays accordingly.......just like the Vikings coaching staff should be doing from the sideline, but cant seem to get a grasp on. Peyton Manning is probably smarter than half the coaches who are walking the sidelines in the NFL right now. I don't even know if the Broncos come in with a game plan, as Manning changes it constantly right at the line of scrimmage.

I absolutely do NOT want to see the Vikings hire an "up and comer" in the college ranks or as a coordinator. How many of these guys get to the NFL and fail miserably. The answer is too many. This organization and team needs a proven leader. Tice, Childress, and Frazier were all "up and comers". I'm getting fairly tired of taking risks on coaches. Unfortunately, we are not going to get a proven coach, we are probably going to get an up and comer and once again have to cross our fingers that he is any good and that he has the ability to put together a quality coaching staff.
like who?

Frazier is a lame duck coach at this point and time...I don't care who they bring in here next year. I'm hoping it's someone with some "fire" though.

I like Gruden...either one of the brothers would be fine by me.

I thought Billick was run out of town on a rail the last time he was here? Now some of you want him to be the head coach? crazy

I dont remember Billick being run out of here. His offense scored the record amount of points. He left to become Head Coach for the Ravens, I dont think there was much negative toward him. Chilly on the other hand....

      I'm not there, so I can't tell exactly what's going on but it looks like a large area of open water developed in the last day with all of the heavy snow on the east side of wake em up Narrows. These two photos are from my Ring Camera facing north towards Niles Point.  You can see what happened with all of snow that fell in the last three days, though the open water could have been wind driven. Hard to say. .

      Black Bay had great ice before but a few spots near rockpiles where there were spots of open water. It looks like the weight of the snow has created a little lake in the middle of the bay.

      On the south end...   Thanks to some cold spring weather, ice fishing continues strong for those still ice fishing.  The bite remains very good.  Most resorts have pulled their fish houses off for the year, however, some still have fish houses out and others are allowing ATV and side by sides.  Check social media or call ahead to your favorite resort for specifics. Reports this week for walleyes and saugers remain excellent.   A nice mix of jumbo perch, pike, eelpout, and an occasional crappie, tullibee or sturgeon being reported by anglers. Jigging one line and using a live minnow on the second line is the way to go.  Green, glow red, pink and gold were good colors this week.     Monster pike are on a tear!  Good number of pike, some reaching over 45 inches long, being caught using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring in 8 - 14' of water.   As always, work through a resort or outfitter for ice road conditions.  Safety first always. Fish houses are allowed on the ice through March 31st, the walleye / sauger season goes through April 14th and the pike season never ends. On the Rainy River...  The river is opened up along the Nelson Park boat ramp in Birchdale, the Frontier boat ramp and Vidas boat ramp.  This past week, much of the open water skimmed over with the single digit overnight temps.   Areas of the river have popped open again and with temps getting warmer, things are shaping up for the last stretch through the rest of the spring season, which continues through April 14th.   Very good numbers of walleyes are in the river.  Reports this week, even with fewer anglers, have been good.  When temps warm up and the sun shines, things will fire up again.   Jigs with brightly colored plastics or jigs with a frozen emerald shiner have been the desired bait on the river.  Don't overlook slow trolling crankbaits upstream as well.   Good reports of sturgeon being caught on the river as well.  Sturgeon put the feed bag on in the spring.  The bite has been very good.  Most are using a sturgeon rig with a circle hook loaded with crawlers or crawlers / frozen emerald shiners. Up at the NW Angle...  Ice fishing is winding down up at the Angle.  Walleyes, saugers, and a number of various species in the mix again this week.  The bite is still very good with good numbers of fish.  The one two punch of jigging one line and deadsticking the second line is working well.   Check with Angle resorts on transport options from Young's Bay.  Call ahead for ice road guidelines.

      With the drifting, kind of hard to tell for sure, but I'm guessing about a foot and still lightly snowing. Cook end!

      How much snow did you get on Vermilion? 
    • Mike89
      lake here refroze too...  started opening again yesterday with the wet snow and wind...  very little ice left today...
    • Hookmaster
      A friend who has a cabin between Alex and Fergus said the lake he's on refroze. He texted me a pic from March 12th when it was open and one from 23rd when it wasn't. 🤯
    • SkunkedAgain
      I don't think that there has been any ice melt in the past few weeks on Vermilion. Things looked like a record and then Mother Nature swept in again.   I'll give my revised guess of April 21st
