With all the chatter about Bill Belichick potentially being fired - despite all he has done for the Patriots over the last 20+ years - what are some of the dumbest decisions owners have made in recent years?

    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

    Is firing bill a bad decision? He was great in the past (Because of Brady). But he’s been presenting a pretty terrible team. The last 20 years don’t matter anymore if you suck now.

    Having a terrible roster, a 37y declining QB and taking a RB 2nd overall pick. I love Saquon, but the decision was atrocious.

    Raiders have a laundry list of them, just in the past few years.

    Hiring Gruden after 10 years out of coaching, with Mayock as a first time GM.

    Hiring Josh McDaniels.

    Trading a first and second round pick for Davante Adams when the roster had tons of holes that needed filled through drafts before a star WR would move the needle on contending.

    Definitely not the worst for all teams, but for the giants it’s gotta be hiring Gettleman.
