Your analysis is correct, but the point is that if Bienemy was white, he’d be a head coach by now. He might already be fired like Hackett, but he’d have had a shot. And that is despite what you wrote being true.
With a black guy it’s “Well, it’s really just Andy doing all the work…”
With a white guy it’s “This guy has been working with Andy Fucking Reid for 5yrs as OC of the top offense. What better pedigree could there be?”
Salary cap going up up up. “Egregious” contracts now will seem fine in a few years.
I’ve been in the “maybe we should trade Chris Jones if he’s demanding Aaron Donald money” camp. But given his performance this year, and the cap going up, I think you’d be happy to pay him that.
My ultimate unrealistic fantasy is that we somehow trade for Aaron Donald and those two get to play next to each other for a few years. Any amount of draft picks and salary cap manipulation would be worth it.
Part of me hopes this is step one for getting rid of McCarthy, like the offense will take another step back and now he’ll be the easy scapegoat. But this fucker is probably here for another decade.
Eh, Nagy made Trubisky look like a star for a little while. Mahomes seems like a generational talent at QB. If there’s one guy that’s shitty coach proof I think it might be him.
