NFL

Just about everything Tepper has done in Carolina.

Commanders 2006 free agency: massive 5-7 year contracts for Adam Archuletta, Andre Carter and Antwan Randle El.

Commanders 2007 free agency: Albert Haynesworth

Literally anything the Giants have done over the last 5 years

Trading away Amari Cooper for peanuts

Trading up for the least accurate QB of a loaded QB class who had also only played 12 games at the FCS level, (trey lance)

Chargers firing Marty Schottenheimer after a 14-2 season in 2007. Since then we’ve had 4 head coaches, typically a 3-4 year tenure each, in which they probably deserved a 2-3 year tenure at best. And, we all know how much talent they’ve squandered in the last decade or two

Plenty of HC hirings look awful in hindsight, but at least there was a reason (even if it was a bad one, like “he knows Bill Belichick!”) for the hiring you could understand.

But the Greg Schiano hire in Tampa was egregious. It’s unlikely enough a college coach succeeds in the pros, but to hire a guy who was in a mediocre, mid-major program and not particularly innovative or creative with his gameplans? Without exaggeration, it would be like if Luke Fickell or Jamey Chadwell got an NFL head coaching job this winter.

Have you seen the Detroit lions from 2000-2021?

Urban Meyer

Selling naming rights to the stadium to some unknown insurance company.

With or without hindsight? Without hindsight, the Jets drafting Christian Hackenburg in the 2nd round in 2016. He was god awful in college outside of his freshman year (when he had Allen Robinson catching everything thrown to him) and I was pretty sure he was going to go early day 3 at the earliest.

Well, the Jets shocked everyone and took him in the 2nd round. He was so terrible that he couldn't get snaps when the Jets were playing QBs like Bryce Petty and Josh McCown. In fact, he never played a snap in a regular season game. They essentially lit a high draft pick on fire and it was obvious from the start.

Anything Dan Snyder. He has not been gone for that long.

Anyone hiring Josh McDaniels

Arthur Juan Brown

. Giving Deshaun Watson a fully guaranteed contract

. Everything Dan Snyder did

. Firing Jimmy Johnson

. Not keeping Rich Bisaccia and hiring known asshole Josh McDaniels

. Giving Urban Meyer a contract

. Giving Joe Judge and Fatty Patty contracts

. Letting Jack Easterby run your team

Trading away AJ FUCKING BROWN

Letting the players cut the offseason to nubs in the 2011 CBA.

Everyone who bitches about how bad their offensive line is can point right at this.

Dolphins front office passing on Drew Brees back in 2005-06 in favor of washed up Daunte Culpepper, culminating in then-HC Nick Saban bolting to Alabama

Hiring Joe barry.

Replacing bottom of the league special teams coordinator with his protege to become the leagues absolute worst special teams unit.

Trading up to draft Jordan love.

For the Cardinals, our owner sticking by his buffoon drunkard gm for FAR too long. Yeah the Hopkins trade was cool but didn’t pan out. Yeah moving on from Rosen to Murray was the right decision. A broken clock is right twice a day. Our owner himself is just a stingy, dime-saving, cartoony cheapskate who sticks by the guys he personally likes. Hopefully soon he gets his head out of his ass and does better for the team

Besides Myles Garrett every 1st round draft pick the browns have selected since 2008.

In January 2015 Jeff Lurie gave Chip Kelly the gm title and complete control of the roster. Thankfully, Lurie realized his mistake and fired him in December of the same year.

Jed York siding with Trent Baalke over Jim Freaking Harbaugh.

Anyone remember the time the Texans signed Brock Osweiler to a 4 year $72 million deal after only starting 7 games, and traded him to the Browns (who then released him) after one year?

Being convinced to draft Johnny Football by a homeless guy….

Quintricia...oof I still get shivers when I hear this.

Letting Brady leave and keeping Belichick.

Josh McDaniels has entered the room (for the second time).

Trading a 2nd round pick (#32) for Chase Claypool.

Hiring Dave Gettleman as GM

Panthers trading away Christian McCaffrey, dj Moore, and multiple 1st round picks to pick Bryce Young and leaving him with a shitty o line and Adam theilen as his #1 and #2 wr.

Everything the cardinals have done.

Passing up Brady for Middy G in 2020 🙄

Pats would still be an average team if it wasnt for tom brady. What have the pats done before or after tom? Should have kept tom.

Haslam

Letting Matt Patricia be a head coach

Johnny Manziel!! Picked by a homeless guy! How could anything be worse?

Since we are talking about firing BB, how about not getting Brady help to finish his career in NE only to see him win a SB with the bucs. And trading away Jimmy G who they were developing to replace Brady. And whatever they did to ruin Kraft Mac and Cheese Jones.

How about the entire group of new HC hires in 2012?

Appointing Bill O'Brien as Texans GM as well as Head Coach..

Hiring Josh McDaniels after making the playoffs was certainly one of them.

I'm not going to like this thread, am I?

Opposite take: best is Jerruh talking up gloryholes. Real take: Jerruh having the Cowboys go WR by committee and then needing to trade a 1st round pick for Cooper.

Rams firing Fisher and not going for the consecutive 7-9 season record

Drafting Bryce Young number 1 overall.

Our owner. Pick a decision.

Raiders hiring Gruden for $100 million, firing him and still paying him. Raiders not hiring Rich Bisaccia but hiring Josh McDaniels, firing him and still paying him.

I bet Pierce does well and Mark Davis doesn’t hire him as the coach.

Steve Keim and Kliff Kingsbury getting multi-year extensions for being the worst in the league at their jobs then being fired a few months later
