Coaching 10000% matters. We get the right guy in here, we are a playoff team.

Bucs because it'd be hilarious to watch the cowboys lose. If the cowboys win it's just watching a sad old fighter not knowing when to hang them up. Then whoever the Bucs play next week they should lose handily.

That's what I get for trying to read after training a puppy all night. Thanks to all who corrected me.

To me it looks like they're trying to get the rooney rule interviews out of the way because they already know who they want to hire, whether that be Wilks or one of the rising OCs out there. The fact they have been blasting out requests to all these minority coaches the past few days makes me think they already like Wilks to take over next season. Just my guess though. _______________________________________________________________________________________ *Edit* I can't read, it's for a coordinator position.

Less

Johnson intrigues me, but my main concern is his inexperience, which he has less of than guys like Dorsey, Moore, Ryans, or Steichen. I really don't understand why everyone is expecting him to be a slam dunk. And I say this knowing that I would be excited he is our coach, I just don't get the optimism with him as a candidate compared to the others. Is it because he's a local guy?

There's only 1 Justin Tucker and we don't have him. The overreaction to dump Eddie after Atlanta was ridiculous. He had hit everything before that game. Had he continued to struggle the next week, or shown inconsistency moving forward, he should have gotten the ax, but he did great after that. I personally think we keep Eddie since Zane has a continued history of injury... and he's a kicker... That's kind of terrible considering no one ever touches him.

Good Job Ben, get the warmup interview in with the place you don't actually want to work so you can get some experience and improve for the one you actually want.

I'm wondering if we are bringing Mayo to not only interview, but gauge his interest in getting a DC title. The fact that Belichick did not give him the DC title would allow him to leave to get a DC job as he would not be making a lateral move.

Good point

Literally Every coach was never a HC at some point. They eventually show enough to garner a HC position. Retreads tend not to work out at roughly the same rate. Best thing a new HC can do is bring a former HC onto the staff to help provide insight and take some pressure off.

And yet he still managed to win 6 games in a season...

Fitt: "We are looking at a small group of guys to interview" The group:

Johnny Hekker and JJ were robbed.

BTW, Scot, where's the traditional Coach candidate breakdown thread? I think we pretty much have all the candidates in consideration at this point.

II think it is. He still helped bring him along and coached him up. Not all of Mahomes' game is backyard football. His highlight reel plays, yes, but the rest of the time he is a sound QB making the right reads and delivering the ball to his playmakers. 95% of Mahomes' game is Great fundamental QB play from down to down, the last 5% are the ridiculous no look/left handed passes/Scramble drill bombs that makes him the best in the league.

Kafka is slowly climbing up my leaderboards in terms of who I actually want. Apparently Reid was grooming him to take over OC duties once Bienemy got a HC job, but Bienemy never did, so he went and got an OC job with Daboll, and dude turned some chicken salad out of some chicken poo up in NY. I think they ended up being top 10 in DVOA offensively with no receivers, a patchwork line, and Daniel Jones at QB. That's impressive. Couple that with the fact he helped make Mahomes Mahomes, he learned under Andy Reid but has shown success without Reid involved unlike every other one of his disciples, and his adaptability to the atrocious personnel he was handed with the Giants, I am very intrigued.

I have a suspicion it's going to end up being Wilks. Everyone in the Media is behind Wilks for the narrative, as are the casual fans of the team from the area. That seems to be all anyone cares about. "He's from Charlotte and was better than Rhule!" Better than Rhule is not a ringing endorsement. They see the box scores at the end of it all and see 6-6 without looking at the absolute embarrassments that were Cincy, Pitt, and TB where coaching failed to produce wins. A few years back Tepper said Mediocrity was not acceptable, but I fear that's all we'll get with Wilks.

The players loved the poo out of Rivera when he was going 5-7 at the end of his tenure.

Damn, I didn't even consider this and I didn't want Wilks to begin with.

Dude, thanks for sharing this channel. I love this X's and O's stuff.

3 Winning record seasons in 12 years as a HC.

If anyone was ready with receipts, I knew it would be you Scot.

Did Nicole Tepper draft Everett Brown in the second by trading a future first? She is already more qualified.
