Jurecki: Keim stays as GM for 2019 season (old thread)

[Arz101]

Don't forget, he must come from a small school.

Does the player have to meet Keim at a beach resort like Wilks did?

Even if Keim wins a super bowl, the jokes are gonna live in infamy.

 

[Cheesebeef]

dumb, but expected.

He failed in his "Let's give it a last hurrah" Super Bowl seasons, not even getting into the playoffs in those two years and his attempt to rebuild after that was the biggest fiasco the team has ever seen. And yes, when you come into TWO seasons saying you're gunning for a Super Bowl and don't even make the playoffs, THAT'S FAILURE. Go see Mike McCarthy for proof of that.

So, the idea that he's only failed once just doesn't hold water. That's two failures, IMO. Not one. The only ONE thing he ever got accomplished was winning a SINGLE playoff game. That's it. One playoff W in 6 years.

That ain't above average folks.

But is what it is. I just hope he guesses right with the first pick and coach because I have about as much confidence in him as I did Ryan McDonough at this point before last year's Suns off-season.

Bidwill should take Keim's advice given many years ago about players: "Better to cut bait a year too early, than a year too late." Even more so because there's a coaching hire, a buttload of cap space and the highest draft picks we've ever had staring us in the face. You don't give a guy on his "last chance" the ability to make all those decisions, IMO.

It does except he was matter of fact about it and changed subject quickly after he said it

That’s fine but I’ll wait till he tweets it out.

Jurecki has his sources, but i doubt he is the guy who breaks that news

i think Jurecki was speculating

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Keim is officially on the hot seat then for 2019. Let’s hope the pressure causes him to work harder, spend big money on great FA’s, and draft better than ever before knowing his job may be on the line.

If the next coach fails he’ll be done. I say he’d be wise to copy Les Snead (Rams GM) and hire a young offense mind as HC and break the bank on some star FA’s.

Exactly the reason keeping him is disastrous. He’s a lame duck GM. That means he takes the safest route to 8-8 possible, damn the future. It likely means signing aging vets and not swinging for the fence coach. That bum gets to pick ANOTHER coach and use our #1 pick?!?

This is Phoenix Suns Sarver level idiocy. They let McDonough hire koko, draft Ayton, trade future assets, sign ariza, and then fire him. This is the same insanity.

CAN KEIM.

 

[PACardsFan]

I can't say that I am surprised but I wish it was otherwise

On some level this would confirm my theory that Bidwill wanted Arians out and a "professional" Coach in

I agree with you. I've said it for months that MB pushed Arians out & it was MB that hired Wilks. Exactly why Keim isn't being fired. MB can't hold SK accountable, at least not yet.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

I thought Keim might stay but I'm disappointed. It would be too many changes at one time though.

THAT’S WHEN YOU DO THIS! New GM gets to hire his coach, use a #1 pick, use all that cap space. All without worrying about getting to 8-8 next year because he has a clean slate.

SK has only chosen 1 HC, that was Arians.

 

[Timm Rosenbach]

The final 12 hours of the Wilks regime. I understand waiting until they arrive home to fire Wilks, but I want it ASAP. I assume Fitzgerald’s career decision is s factor.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Lots of talk about that but no smoking gun. So I’ll chalk that up to fairy tales. Also, are you a good GM if your owner won’t let you choose a coach? Really? No.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Main... we JUST went through this with the Suns. Do you really want another lame-duck GM in charge of picking coach, draft, trading pieces and spending a lot of money in FA?

 

[PACardsFan]

Lots of y’all about that but no smoking gun. So I’ll chalk that up to fairy tales. Also, are you a good GM if your owner won’t let you choose a coach? Really? No.

Call it whatever you want. MB always liked SK, but hated how the BASK relationship evolved. As long as BASK won, MB stomached it. 2 years out of the playoffs & MB was ready to move on to a more civil, intellectual type HC. Out went BA & in came Wilks.

I really wish you could have been in that club level town hall during training camp.

That was Michael repeatedly talking up Wilks professionalism. How he runs an organized ship. How he dresses and carries himself.

It was just an odd thing to point out over and over again. This was my third time doing this and he simply never referred to Arians like this.

Help me out here: This sounds like first hand or sourced knowledge. Is it? or is this Mitch-level speculation?

I call it stupid to keep Keim. That’s what I call it.

I can’t wait for Wilks to be fired. I also want to see how Bidwill handles admitting his mistake. Needs to happen within 12 hours

 

[Arz101]

Wilks is back?

Mike obviously liked him but it’s an enormous leap from that to mike overruled Keim and Keim didn’t like him. It also ignores the vacation love affair.

He designed a perfect gameplan to get fired. He just needs to execute the gameplan to be fired

Correct I didn't make this leap until Arians said he would still be coaching if not for the injuries he had.

This was way before he said anything about the Browns.

It could be completely off base. Of course it could be. But it does seem to be plausible

LOL last night he was on the Fox Sports show with Calvisi and Wolfley and he literally blamed last weeks loss on the missed extra point.

a 21 point loss on a missed extra point.

I’ll give Michael B a mulligan on the Wilks hiring because Michael B has done a great job since taking over. But I find Wilks to be deranged and detached from reality. Bidwill cant do this again

 

[Arz101]

For real, looks like Wilks may be back? Jeebus.

Now we can waste the #1 pick on an injury prone "value" pick with questionsble work ethic and high upside!

If you are referring to Bosa, every national pundit associated with the draft has him as the best player in the draft, absolutely no debate. If you want to go BPA, you draft Bosa.
