Is it time for a coaching change?

tough question.... I would actually say no. I like Jim Schwartz, I can't blame the loss tonight on him at all, I can't really blame a lot of the losses on himl. I can blame a lot of the losses on Matthew Stafford though... Tonight loss...He overthrew a 6'8 TE for a pick six. He has 23 turnovers (I think) and he is not shown any signs of being clutch in big games at all.

People are mad at Schwartz for not trying to get a last second drive with 30 seconds left and 2 time outs... I'm 50/50 on if he should've tried instead of running out the clock but let's not forget who our QB is... The same QB with 23 turnovers, the same QB who just threw a pick-6 because he overthrew a 6'8 TE. Hmmm I probably would have sat on it too. It is clear as day Stafford is hugely overrated. I agree he could be a great QB, but that is once he fixes his mechanics, puts all his effort into games, gets emotional about big games, and uses his brain so he doesn't stare right at a CB but still throws the ball anyways.

I am kind of for getting rid of Stafford. But we probably won't so I would at least put some pressure on him and throw Shaun Hill into the game every once in a while. Shaun Hill is one of the best backups in the league.... When Stafford does some boneheaded mistake (like he always does) we should at least give Shaun Hill a shot.

I'd like to have Stafford. I think he could use some major improvements... but I would fire Schwartz. He is a jerk. He encourages the team's bad behavior and that has made them the worst team in a clutch situation.
They need a disciplined coach who knows what he's doing. Shaun Hill was decent, but Stafford is better at this point.

You want a disciplined coach? Call Jon Gruden.

I'd sign Lovie, just to make the world burn.

The Texans might sign him.

The thing that makes me upset about Stafford though is that if we go back to when we were 6-3. I gurantee that if we would have just randomly decided to start Shaun Hill we would be in the playoffs right now. Stafford is a turnover machine! I mean I guess you can blame that on coaching but Stafford just need to get a good QB coach. I would get Stafford a great QB coach and let Schwartz stay one more year and let him know that if he doesn't make the playoffs he's gone.

Yeah... All I got to say is if we get a new coach we better get a big name coach. Someone with a lot of experience. Were not in a rebuilding stage at all so we don't need some college coach like Bill O'Brien. (People are talking about us getting him....No just no)
