Re: Bobby Slowik firing
https://tinyurl.com/2yq5ah2v

Slowik, who was hired Tuesday as the Miami Dolphins senior pass game coordinator, did not return ESPN's requests for comment. But before the playoffs, he said they "didn't have as many hot streaks as an offense this year."

Last season, the Texans had a dip in yards per game (342.4 to 319.7) and points per game (22.2 to 21.9) while sacks went up (47 to 54). Slowik's inability to adapt led to a predictable offense that left Houston searching for answers.

"We simply weren't good enough offensively," a team source told ESPN. "We had all season to make adjustments and improvements, and it never happened."

As the struggles mounted, some players lost faith in Slowik, a team source said. Before Ryans fired Slowik, Ryans asked players for their opinions and didn't get many ringing endorsements, multiple team sources confirmed.

"I don't think we had a true identity of what the f--- we wanted to do," one player told ESPN.

Pretty much sounds like our club. I mean, minus the firing of any real coaching deficiencies.

Pathetic how far we’ve fallen.

Bunch of spoiled brats. This team used to be good and used to be competitive. Plus, if you look at their body of work over say 20 years it stacks up favorably vs other teams.

So what if we’ve become the team other teams hope they get to play in the first round of the playoffs.

So what if we get absolutely blown off the field.

We used to be good and that is good enough. Dunno bout you guys but I’m still celebrating our 2008 Super Bowl victory.

A good friend is a Die Hard Phins fan. Pretty excited. Little confused too.

The current OC Frank Smith has been doing a good job and they already have a passing game coordinator Darrell Bevell.

Not sure how Slowik fits into the staff/scheme as Senior Passing Game Coordinator. Wait and see.

My opinion Slowik was the sacrificial lamb for a team that shit the bed.

Tomlin, Smith and Austin heard off in the distance after reading this stat line……”I love the smell of job security in the morning!”
