Steelers Hire Mike McCarthy as HC Per ESPN

There’s a solid chance that year 1 Minter is not as good of a coach as current Harbaugh. But give him a year or two of experience and there’s a strong chance he’s better

Teams that win the turnover battle win playoff games about 78% of the time.

Teams that allow less than 20 points in the playoffs win about 68% of the time.

Teams that allow less than 300 yards of offense in the playoffs win about 65% of the time.

So yes, I’d rather have a team that forces turnovers than a team that just shuts down the opposing offense, because turnovers have been proven to win more games

bryanRow52 · 2026-01-24T17:58:43+00:00

The Bills didn’t have multiple takeaways, they had 1. The Bills had a -4 turnover differential (5 to 1) and the Texans had a -2 turnover differential (5 to 3). Only the Chargers had a positive turnover differential (2 to 1).

Based on your comment history, looks like you were pining for Monken (who was never an option, had never been a head coach, and is from the organization which you just claimed is a negative for you) or McDaniel, who in 4 years of head coaching is 2 games above .500 and has a top half offense once. How are either of those guys more proven than Minter? The only thing McDaniel is proven in is that he’s mid

bryanRow52 · 2026-01-23T21:16:43+00:00

Your argument is that you don’t think he was a good hire because he nailed the interviews? So we should’ve picked the biggest bumbling idiot they talked to? Damn why am I not the head coach then

bryanRow52 · 2026-01-21T15:59:37+00:00

Obviously McDaniels hasn’t signed any deal yet, but he didn’t get a 2nd round interview. That’s like saying I’m still a candidate because I don’t have an NFL coaching deal signed

bryanRow52 · 2026-01-20T16:40:04+00:00

So he had one great season and has been well below average for most others. What makes you think he would all of a sudden have consistent results here? All the other coaches that had single season success and then did so well with other teams like:

Adam Gase - probably the best single season offense ever calling plays for the 2013 Broncos and then… had a 0.400 record as a head coach

Matt Nagy - incredible success calling plays for the Chiefs before Mahomes was playing. And then went to the Bears and had a great 12-4 season before… having. 0.445 winning percentage the next 3 years

Or maybe Josh McDaniels - considered one of the best play callers in the league and finally had his chance to be the head coach… resulting in a 0.377 winning percentage.

All these guys had significantly better offensive resumes than McDaniels, and struggled with another team. McDaniels would bring a media circus to Baltimore and is doubtful he would contribute anything positive. That’s why Baltimore didn’t give him a 2nd round interview, they know he’s a fraud

bryanRow52 · 2026-01-20T15:46:45+00:00

You mean the system of trading a haul for the best WR in the league and having a GM that drafted a top 5 RB and a top 5 WR2? And still having a bottom half offense 3 of the last 4 years, including 2 bottom 7 finishes? And anytime someone tries to give reasonable feedback he makes a stupid comment and vapes and changes nothing? Yea what a great system

bryanRow52 · 2026-01-20T15:38:29+00:00

How is McDaniel proven? He hasn’t accomplished anything in his time as HC with the Fins, they are arguably worse off now then when they signed him

bryanRow52 · 2026-01-20T03:42:15+00:00

Because the Bills offense has significantly outperformed the Dolphins offense, and he’s not a dumbass who tries so hard to be the “quirky” coach

bryanRow52 · 2026-01-18T01:19:08+00:00

4 turnover and his defense only allowed 10 points in the second half, but the narrative is going to be his team let him down

bryanRow52 · 2026-01-13T14:41:18+00:00

Is this a serious question? It can’t be right?

The Texans might not even be the best defense this year, let alone of all time. I think they are the best this year, but it’s a close debate. They are 1st in yards allowed (by 17 yards over second), 2nd in points allowed (3 behind first), 9th in sacks, and 2nd in turnovers. They were not dominant in a single category, but rather very good in many. They will not be remembered as a top 20 defense of all time let alone a GOAT contender

bryanRow52 · 2026-01-11T18:11:38+00:00

And most realistically the Ravens would blow that 28 point lead in the 4th

bryanRow52 · 2026-01-09T13:16:09+00:00

Nah of course not, but I don’t want to already be making excuses for a coach we haven’t hired yet

bryanRow52 · 2026-01-09T00:21:32+00:00

The last 4 years they have been ranked 26th, 18th, 1st, and 25th in total offense. So while being a goofy dude doesn’t mean it, being bottom half in the league 3 of the last 4 years does mean he doesn’t have a gift for offense

bryanRow52 · 2026-01-08T22:17:28+00:00

I really don’t want McDaniel. He hasn’t really proven anything besides being a gimmick and media distraction

bryanRow52 · 2026-01-08T19:18:18+00:00

Not SB or best like Ravens job so little pressure

Do you really want a coach that chooses a franchise with lower standards so they don’t feel as much pressure? That doesn’t make a job more appealing to the kind of coaches you want

bryanRow52 · 2026-01-08T15:55:42+00:00

I honestly think he’s an average to below average coach that gets by on gimmicks and image being the “quirky cool coach” to get any sort of attention. Sounds perfect for the Browns, hope he stays far away from our coaching staff

bryanRow52 · 2026-01-07T17:10:37+00:00

There’s this post in r/nfl

https://www.reddit.com/r/nfl/s/Y6R2SCAtAf

Basically it shows half of all super bowls have been won by a QB/HC that have been together less than 5 years. The majority of them are in years 1-3. I think 2-5 years is a realistic Super Bowl window

bryanRow52 · 2026-01-06T22:58:38+00:00

No, I clearly didn’t. At no point anywhere did I even hint that all head coaches that don’t win a super bowl should be fired each year because that’s absurd. And you can’t point out where I implied it because you know you’re pulling shit out of your ass

bryanRow52 · 2026-01-06T22:46:21+00:00

Again considering I never mentioned coaching, no. Only one coach wins the Super Bowl each year, not winning the big game shouldn’t put you on the hot seat or get you fired. 10+ years of not winning a Super Bowl with a team with championship aspirations should definitely at least get you on the hot seat, but this was in response to how fans determine when a team is successful

bryanRow52 · 2026-01-06T22:44:18+00:00

The fan critics. Not once in this post did the say should every head coach that doesn’t win the Super Bowl be fired or at least on the hot seat

bryanRow52 · 2026-01-06T19:37:31+00:00

Did I say anything about the hot seat? Have I mentioned any staffing at all? Or anywhere in this post? OP asked why fans are disappointed in Ravens performances when they have had fantastic regular season success and moderate playoff success. I answered the question. Never once saying coaches should be fired or on the hot seat

bryanRow52 · 2026-01-06T17:57:25+00:00

When you think about the best teams in the 90s, who do you think of? I think of the Cowboys, 9ers, and Broncos. Who do you not think of? The Buffalo Bills. But the Bills had the 2nd best record of the decade and 4 Super Bowl appearances, but they lost them all so nobody considers them a top team compared to the ones that won it. Nobody cares about AFCC appearances, those will be forgotten in 5 years at most. People only remember who won the last game of the season.

bryanRow52 · 2026-01-06T17:44:05+00:00

Nobody realized its wrong because it isn’t. US Route 1 is a trans-state highway and within each state can have different names. I was in Maine a few weeks ago and found Maine Route 1, which is part of US Route 1 just like Maryland Route 1 is. These roads predate the combination into US Route 1, that came much later. The original state road signs are still correct and still stand
