That decision gets made at the end of the season. I like what I see so far, but there is still a lot of football left to play.
Realistically yes,
technically no. They have to do the process after the year ends. Even if harbaugh wanted to come in, I highly doubt that mark would make the same mistake twice especially if we make the playoffs.
All of us that were happy with the JMD hire, don’t get a say! You all work this out!
you want josh mcdaniels here?
Hell no, I’m saying when hired, I thought it would work out, so I’m bowing out of this hire
Even if we lose and it’s close, he’s the guy.
IMO, beating one of AFCW opponents is good, but not a solid measure of AP’s effectiveness, even the Chiefs, because we always seem to play the Chiefs tough. It’s the unfamiliar opponents, like the Dolphins, that will impress me. I still think, no matter what AP does, unless he makes a good playoff run, that Mark will at least attempt to do this the right way. The funny thing is, if AOC ends being a serviceable starter, the former regime may have had a pretty good draft this year.
I’d say just let things play out. Let that contract work out too for him. I’d imagine if we finish out the season in a bright way that we stick with this staff.z
I’d be down for it. Provided that PG stays on as DC for at least another year. He seems to be doing good things.
I want to see him take a bad L and how the team plays down 3 scores. That’s the shit that seperates good and bad coaches.
No. 3 games is too soon to pull the trigger, but if he gets this team to the playoffs, then hard yes.
The line opened -9.5 Dolphins. And I instantly took it alterante spread -13.5 for +390 for the Dolphins. The current line is -12.5 on fanduel. This team has played complete dog shit teams. And barely won against those dog shit teams. If he beats the Dolphins or Chiefs than that is incomprehensible. But like guys…he beat Tommy DeVito and Zach Wilson. You all are going to be humbled soon. And I PRAY. I pray to GOD I’m wrong.
I dont think there’s any single event that you can say “wins” the job for AP. Its going to be a holistic look back after the season, not only at wins and losses but how the team is playing, the trajectory we were in by the end, how the players feel, etc.
We could sneak away with lucky wins vs MIA and KC and he could lose the job. We could have plucky, hard-fought losses in MIA and KC and he keeps the job.
He should become the coach regardless
No matter how successful AP is this season, Mark Davis will likely do his due diligence and vet outside hires before handing him the job. edit: even if it’s just for the optics so Mark can say he double-checked and there was no one better for the job. It’s also better for AP to say he went through the formal HC hiring process and emerged as the best candidate.
Are you asking if it becomes official? Because it wouldn’t become official until after the season even if he wins the Super Bowl. Is it enough to guarantee it happens after the season? No. He needs to have a winning record. Mark is going to consider him if we look respectable from here on out, but for him to be the favorite we have to at least have a winning record, probably make the playoffs.
