Kwesi Train

[Still Hurtn]

Dont worry Kwesi made this mess, so I'm sure he has a brilliant plan for fixing it... said no one ever.

If Kwesi gets fired he will be fine, I heard Enron is hiring.

Looking back I can understand why Speilman brought in Cousins. If you dont have at least an average QB in this league you are going to struggle as a team.

I think the problem runs deeper than Kwesi.  But he definitely is not up to the job imo.

KAM/Grigson should be shown the door as soon as the season is over...I dont think it will go as high as Miller unfortunately.

See, that's what worries me. If they fire him, who are they going to replace him with? What if it is Grigson?
Would that be Viking like?

I honestly believe we have people on this board that could draft better than what we've seen the last 4 seasons or so. 

I'm serious too!

I was thinking that same thing.  If Kwesi goes do they just promote Grigson and leave the rest as is?  Does the entire scouting department need to get rid of the slackers?  

Don't think Andrew Miller is feeling the heat yet, but he should.  Just another non-football guy who has a top job with the team.

Yet next home game we will hear the SKOL chant like it is some overpowering spell on the opposing team.  Fans will show up maybe start to boo and the Wilfs will sit in their box and say "well at least it is a sellout".

Was listening to Judd's podcast last night and a few nuggets;

- there's a lot of behind the scenes finger pointing going on that could boil over and become public very soon. This all dates back to the handling of the quarterback position

- assistant head coach and LB coach Mike Pettine mysteriously did not make the trip to Seattle with the team. No explanation provided by the team.

- O'Connell is expected to have built up enough "good will" during his tenure that no matter what happens the rest of the season, he is expected to return for at least next year. Kwesi....not so much.

I'm sure the temp and tempers are hi in Eagan right now...There will be changes for sure, how wide/deep these go is anyones guess.

Sadly, the whole thing really short-circuited by not getting the QB right with a vet, expensive team. Kind of a fans worst nightmare scenario...

Yeah now Kwesi is pointing the finger at KOC and vice versa in an effort to save their jobs. 

I keep going back to the Wilfs shitcanning both Zimmer and Spielman after a down covid year in 2020, and an 8-9 season in 2021 where they lost a record number of one score games. Four years later and this team is about to finish the season with 4 or 5 wins, no depth or young talent, no long term answer at quarterback, and salary cap issues after spending 300+ million dollars in free agency. And now the coach and front office are fueding trying to save their jobs. The idiot Wilfs lose all credibility if they don't make significant changes this offseason. 

Also of interest on the podcast, they thought if Spielman would have been retained he "100%" would have hired Jim Harbaugh to coach this football team. I would sell my grandmother to have a Spielman/Harbaugh combo in charge of this organization right now over the current regime

I don't think either KOC or KAM are going to lose their jobs. Not sure why some think that will happen. I can't say definitively, of course, but its probably 90% that doesn't happen IMO. They both just signed extensions, lol. KOC was just Coach of the Year. 

I see a lot of disgruntled fans losing their shit, but what else is new?
