I genuinely thought he’d get a slight pass this season with next year being his first true hotseat season. I’ve posted this before elsewhere but…
YEAR ONE
Inherits a team with zero depth at any position and thin at talent in the starters
Loses WR1, forcing WR2 to step up
So deep in cap hell the best they can do is sign 3rd stringers and warm bodies.
New WR1 gives up on the team and takes mental health leave
Still manages to go 7-10
YEAR TWO
WR1 gets suspended the entire season
Loses QB1 in the offseason and the best we can do is sign a 2nd stringer who hasn’t started a full season in his entire NFL career, and played in 18 games in the previous 3 seasons across 2 teams, injury prone with nerve damage in hand
Still in cap hell, can only sign 2nd-3rd stringers
Still shows flashes
QB1 maybe kinda sorta quits on the team after being benched poor play, rookie 3rd rounder shows flashes
YEAR THREE
First year with cap room to actually sign FAs and make vet splashes
If anything, unless AS completely shits the bed this season his job is 100% safe. If he makes the playoffs year 4 is safe.
