Gilbert does nothing to spread the field. He doesn’t ever attack the edges or throw over the middle. The receivers are basically decoys cause he thinks running the ball is the way to go. Blake isn’t the perfect quarterback but he’s not exactly put in the greatest position. This offense is run run , (90% run or a long pass) and the. A punt. No creativity to Gilbert’s offense. When he said there was no playbook that was when we all should’ve known this was going to get ugly

No playbook and he couldn't be bothered to watch any film of the top 5 offense that proceeded him, not even to see what kinda athletes he had....   He told us he was an arrogant idiot right from the start and we unfortunately gave him the benefit of the doubt.

I think most of what's wrong is the play calling and inability to get feedback from players to make route and scheme adjustments.  King would/likely already sees it.  I also think his play selection would be unpredictable and some plays I've only seen maybe once this season would be used.  Like the rb flair to Bell... where has that been?  It didn't work because we didn't do anything to set it up... just randomly ran it... but obviously it's there.  King would just bring an entire different feel to play calling and I think the guys would respond.  

I agree. King has worked under Taggart, Kinan, TJ Weist, and Gilberts system.  He had success in all position coaching jobs given to him. Even when we lost Mack, he was able to get 3 different players to run for  close to 1000 yards. Combine that with his previous experience and its a no brainer.

We need to let King coach QBs again as well. Think about this for a second....you have a former NFL coach on staff and you make him coaching RBs so that STERLIN GILBERT (who?) can coach the QBs.

Gilbert jacked up Q's release last season too....  It's why he constantly started overthrowing the pop passes up the seam that he killed teams with when King was his QB coach.  Same thing with his deep ball.....     But hey at least he got a bunch of yards, was great as a puppet OC under Babers, and is so smart he doesn't need a playbook or to watch film of the top 5 offenses he's brought in to replace.   This idiot told us exactly who he was his first month on the job and we didn't listen we just made excuses for him and ignored just how much of the offense was Q being Q despite Gilbert doing everything in his power to take that out of the offense.....   This is coming from somebody who's been a critic of Gilbert for basically his entire tenure.

You know now that you say it....Blake had nice touch on the deep pass that first game and early in season and its gotten worse...Gilbert might have stuck again.

King needs to take over the offense or somebody with a solid track record with the spread and let him do his thing...Strong needs to just worry about the recruiting and building a strong defense....if Strong does that this team could be pretty good quick.. but if he is content with keeping Gilbert doing what he is doing then they all need to be canned.

Gilbert is bad. The special teams coach is worse.

At this point, I think there is only a ten / twelve percent or so chance CCS gets fired, and the reason it's that high is because there is at least a >1% chance he is given an ultimatum to change staff and refuses. 

The following scenario I don't expect at all, even 2013 was a close game, but if we were to put up a historically-pathetic showing like 51-13 how would that influence the odds of a change at HC?

Double? Triple? Quadruple?
