re: Its insane that Peetz is still calling plays with these two ace analyst on staff

you're pretty hard up on something pretty damn meaningless.

Now list their qualifications and the qualifications of Ed’s sons.

I’m not going through that entire list but spot checking a few:
- Belichik’s hired both of his sons with no coaching experience. One played at Rutgers before that, and the other didn’t play college football.
- Brian Schottenheimer had one year of experience as an assistant when he was hired by his father.
- Wade Phillips had 2 years of experience as a high school coordinator when he was hired by his father as LB coach at Oklahoma State.
- Neither of Pete Carroll’s sons had any coaching experience when he hired them at USC (older son) and Seattle (younger son).
- Don Shula hired on of his sons, Dave, in Miami with no coaching experience.
- Bobby Bowden hired one of his sons, Terry, at Florida State with no coaching experience. He went in to hire another son, Jeff, with 3 years at the Division 2 level.

I’m sure the list goes on but I don’t really care to dive into it any more.

The point is that this is not at all uncommon. Coaches hire their kids all the time. Both of the Orgeron kids on the staff started as interns. One was on the staff before Ed even arrived here. There are plenty of reasons to be pissed at Orgeron right now but this one is relatively minor.

ETA: I see the posts saying it’s the “accumulation” of everything, and I get that. But let’s call a spade a spade - what we are actually saying is “I wouldn’t care about this if we were winning.” Which is kind of my point. It’s the on-field performance that is the problem. That’s enough in my eyes. I don’t think we need to grasp at straws.
