To burn through the good will. If this defense isn't rated in the low 20's and we finish behind the Lions in the division this year, his seat is should be red hot. He looks insanely out of touch. The organization doesn't look like it knows where it's going. Like Cleveland of the 80's bad.

What is wrong with Kevin O'Connell?  His first year was a smashing success IMO.  Letting Harbaugh leave turned out just fine.  More than fine even.

I'd rather have KOCs personality and smarts than Harbaugh who wore out his welcome in his first NFL stint a decade ago.



He's good and he was lucky.  He also has a long way to go in coaching, many of those games were closer than they should have been for a non productive for 2 quarters offense.  If you are an offensive guru, your O can't disappear for halves a game.  His short yardage play calling was super questionable and it cost the Detroit game, almost cost us the Buffalo and Indy games.

I like him but he's not a proven commodity like Harbaugh who sure could have burnt out here in 3 years but he knows how to build a winner wherever he goes.

The only problem I had with KOC was his horrendous decision to hire Ed Donatell when it was clear to anybody who knew anything about football that that was not going to go well. So yes, you can give him all the credit in the world for winning 13 games in his first year but you also have to be honest and acknowledge that his decision to bring in Donatell was THEE downfall of our season. It's also certainly debatable on if he should have made the move to shitcan Donatell earlier..oh, say maybe when we went a month straight giving up 500+ yards a game on defense and looking completely hapless.

Sigh. The defense.....was......a complete....shit show. I just don't get this with some fans. It's unreal. I can only laugh now.
