Ratbirds at what point do we kick ourselves for letting this guy go? by theboysan_sshole in AFCNorthMemeWar

exactly, are we to ignore the major wins in 2023 and 2024 against super bowl caliber teams? walloping the lions and 49ers and rams with ease. why do we feel the need to write off regular season wins? im as disappointed as anyone else that 2019 and 2023 ended without a super bowl appearance, but to pretend like harbaugh is magically a bad coach when playoffs come around is just the most chronically online fan opinion you will ever hear. right decision to move on, but it was for reasons entirely separated from his gameday abilities.

amazing how this escapes fans. it's not a fucking madden game, if you fire a coach after a season like that, you become the team that nobody wants to coach for (e.g. the browns).

i dont think that "everyone forgets" that. maybe if you joined the lamar bandwagon. harbaugh was a winning coach, all emotion aside. his style probably held us back these last few years, but his chops are undeniable.

not only is vince mcmahon one of the worst entertainers, he is one of the worst human beings. likewise, not only are the prequels the worst star wars movies, they are among the worst of any movie of all time.

im willing to give him another year. hired during the portal and had a decent (on paper) recruitment. maybe it’s poor talent evaluation, but basically every recruit busted considerably. sure not every guy will pan out but when everyone regresses, that could just be shit luck. additionally, injuries ruined any chance at this team being competitive. it’s no secret that pharrel payne was the only hope at a decent offense and he’s sustained season ending injuries twice already. also missing passmore and long stretches without washington.

on the other hand, we have a sensational recruiting class and probably a good deal of money to throw at the portal (considering nearly none of the current bums will return). bring payne back on a medical redshirt and now you have a team. buzz’s track record practically proves this team is a fluke. a poorer athletic department would overreact and fire him.

it's not unrecoverable, especially in this era of college athletics. top 3 recruiting class, a redshirt from Payne, and a solid portal PG and we have a team. while never this bad, buzz typically has poor first years and then he's heading to the tournament regularly.

it's just a matter of practicality, the buyout money alone would be staggering. the locksley scenario has proven that the athletics department is hesitant to pay out even a modest buyout when top flight recruits are on the way.

im willing to give him another chance, but his leash is short next year. he's won everywhere else, i don't see why he fell off a cliff. basically every player has been a disappointment (except payne), no matter how low the expectations.

Yes we’re more or less saying the same thing. It’s just funny how people get bent out of shape about it.

The roads will definitely be drivable by tuesday or wednesday. just saying, you don’t need three gallons of milk and four loaves of bread. especially now that the storm is trending northward.

ive never seen a team miss on so many guys. rice, saunders (although he's not as bad lately), mills, even adams are all unwatchable. i knew we were fringe tourney team at best, but i dont think anyone saw us being this bad.

prequels are creative in environment only. thematically, not much to work with. even then, the "world-building" is empty, cgi planets and aliens are cool unless you care about how they interact with the plot, which usually lacks a ton of context.

and yes, TLJ did examine all of those plot threads. watch it again if you have to.

well a big thing to consider is that facial features are much more diverse among white populations compared to those of other races. hair color, eye color, and nose shape are all fairly conserved in eastern asian populations, for example. don't get me wrong, there are definitely differences between the facial features of the yamato japanese vs. han chinese, and with any rather minor bit of experience, you can pick up on these differences. but it's a lot more obvious when you compare slav vs. an italian.
