    Ive said from day one that he gets 3 years minimum, and that he would probably get his fourth unless he lost all his games the first 3.

    Thats what happens when you pay him as much as we did and fully guarantee the contrat.

    I have my issues with Whiz but hes not the one who gave up two bombs or 3 TDs in the 4th quarter. We should be 3-0 right now. Yes, you can say that about many teams and their record, but its painfully obvious when you think about our games.

    We are 1-2 playing against 3 bad teams. Mariotas development trumps anything else that could happen this season. Playoffs would be great, dont get me wrong. However as of right now, theres more to be optimistic about than there is to be pessimistic about.

    The largest part of the criteria of evaluating Whiz year 2 should be Marcus Mariota. He gets an A in that part so far. Everything else will come later.

    No disagreement there....he is a very good QBs coach. He has shown that in his past. He is also a good OC. So was Norv Turner.

    Just not sure that he is a good HC.

    I never thought that we would be sniffing playoffs this season. Given how bad our division is, we may find ourselves in a position to be there later this season. However, I said at the end of last season that, as bad as Whis looked last season, he needed to show marked improvement this season (6 wins minimum) in order for me to support him for a 3rd season here. Right now I really don't have a comfort level that he will get there. At a minimum it is going to be close.

    We live in an era where rookie QBs are expected to produce from day one. I don't necessarily agree with that, but, under that mentality, why should we not expect the same from coaches....if rookie QBs are expected to produce from day one, why not expect head coaches to produce tangible results (W-L improvements) in 2 seasons?

    Agree about Mariota's improvement....however, my concern is that, when Mariota hits full stride, Whis will be holding this team back and we will lose even more time (and Mariota's prime) going through this whole coach shuffle again.

    With an established QB,more coaches would be willing to come here.

    Whiz got a 5 year deal didn't he?

    He's getting 3 years minimum and the team, despite the record (so far) has improved.
