...and I'd lay odds it's not who you thought it would be when you saw the title.

Just now, countryboi said:

how do you get on this list? the head coaching prospect list always seem super exclusive for no reason. 

- Late thirties coordinator of a unit that's doing really good

- Coordinator connected to an offense that's setting the league on fire (everyone near Andy Reid)

- Member of an NFC East team to drive clicks (Moore, Kevin O'Connell)

- Anyone who's dad knows where some bodies are buried (Turner)

Number 1 on that list is Robert Saleh, 49ers DC.

Have a feeling someone is going to get burned by him. They wanted to run him out of town last year and now all of a sudden he is a hot name. The reason why is they added a ton of talent this year. Bosa, Kwon, Dee Ford were all big additions and Richard Sherman is back to his pre-injury self. So no wonder they the defense looks amazing. The DL has something like 5 recent 1st rounders.

I’m always skeptical of of guys like that. My best example is Brian Bullock who was an “offensive genius” when he had Cris Carter and Randy Moss then never had even a decent offense with the Ravens. I’d rather find the guy that turns a talentless offense/defense into a top 10 one than a guy that takes an ultra talented one to the top offense/defense.

Yeah, the lists have a tendency to favor guys who just got hot this year. And a lot of those one-year wonders wind up being fools gold.

Someone last year said everybody was looking for the next Sean McVay when they should have been looking for a guy like Frank Reich.

Not saying I agree, but it isn't a stretch.  Newton played some of his best ball as a passer under him prior to his injury and he, at the very least, has helped coach up an UDFA QB in Kyle Allen.  I can see why a team would maybe be interested.

    • This is a good story--I LOVED his dad as a person and player--I talked to him at an OTA (he was back for his second stint) and he was talking about Moore (the WR from Wake Forest) being so young.  I was with my teenage son and told him, "This is Taylor.  He and I attended the OTAs when you were in Rock Hill as a rookie."  He jokes, "Was he in diapers then?" and laughed.  I imagine Moose III was in diapers when we chatted that day.  So I really would love for this to work out.  However, his stats do not suggest he was anything special in college.
    • I guess there are signs. The combination of the turf toe, hamstring, and knee issues led to questions about his long-term health and affected his draft stock, causing him to fall to the second round.  Here is what I know about a knee injury.  It changes nearly every aspect of your lower body movement.  So the turf toe and hamstring could be related.  It makes him seem injury prone.  I guess the knee was not the most recent injury, so the others could have been a result of favoring the knee. Johnson did not run the 40 at the combine or pro day.  That suggests there is something he feels might drop his value.  So if you downplay the severity of the injury, have a history of possibly related injuries, and refuse to demonstrate (when given multiple opportunities) that you are fully recovered, don't get mad when your stock drops. 
    • I saw numerous reports leading up to the draft that he'd been injury red flagged by numerous teams due to cartilage damage and wear issues that they think could shorten his career.
