When I read that I thought they were moving away from the analytics stuff (basically it says Hue is going to be the offensive signal caller). I don't see how you can manage a team, manage your staff, come up with an offensive gameplan, call plays AND base those plays off of data. A HC only has 168 in a week. Take a third out for sleeping and eating, and he's got 100 hours each week to make sure all his staff is doing what they're doing, meet with players and help develop them, come up with a plan and try to base that plan off the analytics reports.
That's going to be rough.
I thought the analytics was just going to be used for personnel decisions (draft/FA). If they use it for game planning and Hue is calling plays (plus all of his other duties), yeah that could get messy.

Ah, I may have misunderstood that. I thought they were going to use it in game, as far as personnel decisions.

What's to analyze? They selected no less than 4 busts in the first rounds in the past 4 years and their only talented player would rather smoke weed than play football.

Marvin and Mikey are just like a ho-hum couple that may as well stick it out because neither one wants to go through the trouble of courting someone new.

If Mike Brown had given Marvin a 2 year extension you would have made the exact same post.
It doesn't matter what choice Mike Brown makes you whine and cry.
This is pathetic.

Has Mike Brown made a lot of different choices lately that I missed? It seems like he re-ups Marvin every so often and the biggest overhaul the organization had was entirely initiated by Marvin and Palmer in response to Mike Brown NOT making changes in any sense.

In this case Wyche was crying about Mike Brown NOT giving Marvin a 2 year extension.
Wyche would also have cried if Mike had given Marvin a 2 year extension.
So it didn't matter which choice Mike made Wyche would still have been bawling about it.

No....actually it was about the lack of foresight regarding Hue Jackson as an excellent replacement for Marvin when he decides to hang it up. However, continue with totally incorrect conjecture.....it's quite entertaining to watch such epic and exponentially pathetic failure.

Are you seriously trying to claim that you would not have been shrieking and squealing if it was announced that Marvin got a two year extension?

Sure as shit seems that way....

Right. Son of Paul has made some horrible choices, and some that are absolutely abhorrent.....yet some kiss the dog turds he steps in around here. Go figure.....

First of all, I don't shriek or squeal, I merely express an opinion.....the entire premise of a message board. Secondly, if I knew it was to keep Hue Jackson (or even Mike Zimmer beforehand) on board, no, I wouldn't have. In the case of Hue Jackson, we would have known that was the case because it was reported that Marvin tried to counter Cleveland's offer, if Hue stays, we know what's coming.....your memory is worse than mine. Now, we know that dumbass Mike Clown overruled Marv, much like the Chris Henry episode.....making it an even bigger fail.

Hue Jackson is a worse head coach then Marvin Lewis.

I'd say at least equal. Weren't both 8-8 in their inaugural season? So far, that is Hue's ONLY season, and that was also an awful team he took over. Hue strikes me as an aggressive type, whereas Marvin is way too passive....just my opinion. Hue is definitely more offensive minded, and really helped elevate Andy's game. I'd take my chances on him replacing Marv versus Guenther or freakin Zampese.
