dodge_birds_fan Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 I like Quinn. He's a good guy. We can debate his balls, brains, acumen you name it. But we can agree he's a good guy. A good guy having a bad year. Today was good for him. His team outplayed Shanahan. That had to feel good NCCooley, falcndave, stingbee and 12 others 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coryb78 Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 He sure was loose on that last drive. For a guy whose job is on the line and staring down the barrel of 4-10 the guy was focused. Made me feel better watching him. Emmitt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's have it, his job is probably over. The past 2 years were abismal. I'm happy he had this. And seeing that smug face of shanahan.

JasonU Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Yes, a great day Quinn - I honestly believe this season has taught him something valuable to succeed in coaching in NFL. Let's bring him back - at least for one more - earned the chance. Stevo, Peteshweddy and stingbee 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconJim Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Quinn has definitely been through the fire this season!!! But I think he's one of the good guys, who genuinely cares about his players! And you can tell they HAVE NOT QUIT on him!!! To me, that says a LOT, under the circumstances! And until this very day, I was on the fire Quinn train ---- now, I'm not so sure it would be the best thing to do (dang it). If we could somehow carry this over to next season, and have a great draft & free agency, I think we'd be better off NOT making a coaching change....yeah, I said it. Plus, it would give our coordinators a full season under their belt, together. That seems to be the number, when they start to "gel". Just my gut feeling ---- or maybe it was the tacos....

stingbee Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 DQ and his players are fighting and playing with pride. You cannot take that away from him... He will be retained and be learned a few things about his schemes and play calling this season. Peteshweddy and dawgsfan426 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodge_birds_fan Posted December 16, 2019 Author Share Posted December 16, 2019 I agree. I've never seen players play for their coach like this. How many 1-7 t teams come out swinging after their bye? Jim Mora couldn't command this level of respect. Smitty needed one win to go to playoffs and the team crapped the bed against Carolina. This honestly reminds me of the 2015 Carolina game. Their single loss of the season. Peteshweddy and Francis York Morgan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCFalconfan Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 I have complained about Quinn about as hard as anyone this year, but I must say that seeing his players go to war for him like they have when all logic in the world says they should roll over has given me pause. I do think he has pushed the right buttons on Defense since the bye week. Ulbrich and Morris need to stay exactly where they are. I'm at the point now where I think the only way you fire Quinn is because the leadership on this team has someone in mind that they firmly believe is head and shoulders better than Quinn. If that's not the case, I could see a case for bringing him back. Francis York Morgan, Peteshweddy and FalconJim 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most always, it's fairly "cut & dried" which way to go....but I keep thinking (especially the way we've been playing the last 5-6 games), "If It Ain't Broke, Don't Try To Fix It"!!! And change, just for the sake of change, doesn't always work out the way we think it will. Oh well, it ain't up to us, so we'll have to wait and see what Arthur does --- JDaveG and dodge_birds_fan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Francis York Morgan Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Team didn't just outplay Shanny's. The 49ers were outcoached, plain and simple. Same with the Saints game. The gameplan has rarely been the issue imho. It's that he can't get the team playing consistent winning football. They can beat anyone in the league on a good day. He needs to ******* hammer it home that they aren't owed **** though. So many young players on defense. I say he deserves one more year. Kick DK's sorry *** to the curb and see what happens. Doubt we have coaches lining up with this salary cap **** anyways...so see what he can do without interference. He sold AB on the changes and they're playing out very well. So run with it and stop getting in the way. dodge_birds_fan, Peteshweddy and JDaveG 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THEHEADCOACH Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 I think it's time for us to ride one out and see what happens. Trying stability and letting him learn too. There's no one out there that is gonna just blow us away , i don't think. Let Quinn try to fix it this time. dodge_birds_fan and Peteshweddy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smiler11 Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 I do like Quinn and he's clearly well respected around the league and by those that he's coached or those that have worked under him. He does seem like a genuinely good person. That said I still think we need a change at the top - this team can't take more than half a season to start playing for their jobs. In the grand scheme of things this season has been a disaster and there aren't any scapegoats this time round. Why a few wins, albeit meaningless, against good teams are a nice way to finish the year, it shouldn't save DQ's job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etherdome Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 He is a likable guy....no doubt. But, he botched this season terribly. He did not have his team ready to start the year. He was down right terrible. He has been a HC long enough to be much better than this. I say fire him at the end of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodge_birds_fan Posted December 16, 2019 Author Share Posted December 16, 2019 I was definite on firing him Dan Quinn. Now the water is muddy. A new head coach is no guarantee of winning. I'm definitely torn on this and an glad I'm not Arthur blank having to make this decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
