I keep flipping on what I want to see happen this off-season. Every time I figure it out something changes my thought process.
First I would like to see Flus as a Def. Coordinator, not the Head Coach. Even if you ignore last season with all the cuts and potential flop for #1 pick this season he has not been able to help Fields progress to where question did not exist on his future. The dismissal of 2 coaches for
Conduct occurred on his watch with people he chose. If the DC did not get fired this defense would probably still be struggling, thus I do not see Flus as a Head Coach.
Luke Getsy does not seem to make the offense friendly to Justin Fields skills. His play calling has lead to 3 collapses in 4th quarter this year by strictly running the ball trying to manage the clock and not the game. As convinced as I am that Getsy is part of the problem, I worry making Fields learn a new offense will hinder his growth and bring us to a new contract with nothing new known about his ability.
The biggest is Fields in my opinion. I believe he has improved, he still hangs onto the ball longer than he should but not that long ago the NFL gave young QBs time to adapt. Peyton Manning was terrible his first year and average at best year 2. Depending on Nagy time this is somewhat year 2 even though it's year 3. I watched several USC games this year and am not convinced Caleb Williams is better than Fields. I wanted to keep Fields but listening to Hoge and Jahns I am buying more into the all or nothing strategy. They either all go or all stay. Expecting the offense to learn a new system and look good doesn't seem reasonable.
Keeping Fields and saddling new staff with QB not of their choice would be like Cutler Era all over. Unless new Head coach begs for Fields and understands this will be looked at the same as a draft pick then...... I am leaning towards they all need to go.
