I sure as hell hope it's Fitchner. Apparently there is talk that Kirby Wilson is in the running for OC too. NO THANK YOU...Sorry Kirby!

Wonder if Munchak will feel slighted now and leave.

 

[awboatguy]

I think this was all in the plans awhile ago. Munchak turned down the second interview, Fitchner is close to Ben, and Tomlin has a lot of control over Butler.
Still think Butler must go, but looks like coach T is good with the playoff performance of HIS defense.
Hmmmm!???

Butler must go. If not, then Tomlin must go.

Wouldn't mind Charlie Batch as new QB coach.

 

[Troglodyte]

if and when he falters, his nickname will be sFinchter.

 

[Supersteeler]

Yup.....figured. This was in exchange for Ben agreeing to play a few more seasons.

 

[FordFairLane]

Reading up of Fichtner and his spread offense I think Ben would love it. And out Munch as assistant HC and I’m ok with keeping Tomlin.

He's never called plays. Munch just wants to be OL Coach in my opinion

 

[Atlsteelers]

What will he bring that Haley didn't? Just curious.

Butler must go. If not, then Tomlin must go. If not, then Butler must not go. If not, then Tomlin must not go. If not, then Butler must not not go. If not, then Tomlin must not not go. If not, then Butler must not not not go. If not, then Tomlin must not not not go. If not, then Butler must not not not not go. If not, then Tomlin must not not not not go....

 

[Litos]

hope he is not a pupil of Field Goal Bruce and his 40 sacks per season

 

[Litos]

Butler must go. If not, then Tomlin must go. If not, then Butler must not go. If not, then Tomlin must not go. If not, then Butler must not not go. If not, then Tomlin must not not go. If not, then Butler must not not not go. If not, then Tomlin must not not not go. If not, then Butler must not not not not go. If not, then Tomlin must not not not not go....

is this a Monty Python sketch?

And so on and so on

 

[MTC]

Time to see how Fitchner handles the coordinator spot.
I hope this sparks Ben's last hurrah.

Why is Kirby Smart a candidate for OC? I know he was a RB coach for us a little while ago but he was let by go multiple teams the past 2-3 years where he was RB coach.

I don't want Batch any closer to the team than he already is. He's another "yes" man, players type guy...we need less of those guys and more disciplinarians.

Hoping to have DeAngelo on the podcast tonight to discuss this

If Butler is staying, Tomlin needs to let him lead the D. Right now, at least 50% of what the D is doing is based on Tomlin's philosophies. Back off and let Butler run with the D and see how he does by himself. He hasn't had that chance. He was under LeBeau and when LeBeau left, Tomlin stepped over so Butler has been under him.

Not saying it's not true, but I wonder if you could provide more info on where you're getting this from?
