And much of it because of the coach, knowing his offensive line, and still refusing to challenge or call something that’d have a much higher success rate. This is what folks would go on, and on, and on about even after a win when Pete was on the sideline... First season, but it’s been ugly. #GoHawks
I’d argue John Schneider should lose his job. The OL has been in shambles for years. And his “Guards are overdrafted and overpaid” comment this past offseason was just the cherry on top (hinting at likely continued stubbornness to address it).
I don’t disagree with you to an extent, though I do believe it’s much harder to win than some may think, which is why I wouldn’t have fired Pete or John (yet). Similar to Mike, he’s going to get his time to shine and it’s a result space business. Big win! #GoHawks
Its incredibly hard to win, and even *harder* to do so as long as we did under Pete.
That said, we haven’t been competitive vs division rivals like the Rams or 49ers for years. That, and the D has been atrocious for close to a half decade.
Even if Mike makes the D better, he has to win more to prove the point. Time will tell if it was time for Pete, that’s where winning is all that’s going to matter in the long run. If Mike can do what Pete did, he’ll have won as many Super Bowls as the entire divisions coaches combined in his tenure.
I love the swag and compete I’m seeing, team has talent, wants to win, and Mike has already shown to do some things I really like. I’m not cheering against him, I’d love for it to be as easy to win another Super Bowl (after firing Pete) as some fans like to think. I just agree with history. #GoHawks

If Andy Reid's Eagles had a Brotherly Shove, the Eagles replace the Patriot Dynasty?

The grass isn’t always greener, but it was time.
Winner!
We keep shooting our selves in the foot not being able to open up these running lanes.
The one time they ran it left? The found success.
I think Grubb is not smart.
