doitny Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 found this interesting... article is from 2 weeks ago The NFL sent a memo to its teams this week reminding them how much money they have wasted by firing coaches and executives over the past five years. There has been a common refrain that the NFL is really short for “Not For Long”, which has become apt with the lack of patience teams have shown with their key hires in recent years. As more teams strive for relevance in a league where worst-to-first turnarounds happen frequently, coaches and executives have been getting fired in record time, a process that costs the NFL’s teams plenty of money. The problem with firing these people early is that the teams are on the hook for their entire contracts since those deals are fully guaranteed, unlike most player deals. Hastiness is expensive, as the NFL reminded its teams in a memo this week, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports. NFL teams have paid $800 million for early firings The memo informed teams that they have paid $800 million for early firings over the past five years and included detailed spreadsheets breaking down how much each team has cost itself with a lack of patience. The firing trend has gone even earlier this season as Matt Rhule and Frank Reich were fired in-season, with Rhule still having four years left on his seven-year, $60 million contract with the Carolina Panthers. Another prominent team paying through the nose for its lack of patience is the New York Giants, who are paying the salaries of three head coaches through next season after firing both Pat Shurmur and Joe Judge two years into five-year contracts. The report also covers front office executives with Tennessee paying former GM Jon Robinson for four more years after firing him in November, just months after he signed a contract extension. It appears that the league is trying to encourage its teams to implore patience with their hires to avoid wasting over a billion dollars paying people not to work. Time will tell if NFL owners will take the league’s findings into account when Black Monday arrives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Joe W. Namath Posted January 7, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 7, 2023 I agree. if you commit to someone, let it play out. Look at Arizona, they canned Wilkes after 1 year. How the heck can you know anything about a regime in a year? This takes time. Wilkes is looking pretty good as head man in Carolina. This board is a great example of "Fire Everyone right away" mentality. its sad. 10 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not saying we shouldnt draft another qb or bring in a vet to compete, but there is no reason to cut ties with Zach. Does he stink right now, absolutely. Does that mean he will stink in 2024? Absolutely not. Lets develop the kid behind the scenes and see if he can become something over the next 2 years. Patience fellas.

Popular Post Beerfish Posted January 7, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 7, 2023 Dear NFL F off and let teams do what they want. These suckers want to control everything. Yeah lets give Urban Myer more time, lets give Adam Gase more time. Hey as a jet fan i'll gladly keep the same coach for 10 years just give me a franchise QB and make the playoffs every year. Want to control the cost? Limit the length of your contracts. 6 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chirorob Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 8 hundred million over 32 teams over 5 years, about 5 million per team. Almost every NFL team carries more dead cap space than that for some guard who sucks. My question, if a head coach is so important, why do good ones make so much less than the players?

I don’t even want him as a backup QB, and I’d prefer a rookie to be that developmental third stringer. But you are ignoring the massive cap hit. Even if the Jets feel Zach is hopeless (I’m not convinced they do, but they certainly might), Douglas isn’t going to ignore the dead cap money. That arguably hurts the team a lot more than a single wasted roster spot. If the Jets are dead set on moving on from Zach, they will need to trade him. He’s not getting cut. I would let that fantasy go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
