Finding someone who wants to stay

Matt Rhule seemed pretty upset when answering the media questions about coaches on staff leaving for what he quoted as “more opportunities.” What happened to the Phil Snows of the world who just want to be an OC, and don’t really want the managerial title of HC?  Find that guy, and find success. These 1 and done coaches who are flashes in the pan, are not reinventing football... I want someone who loves offense, who loves the challenge of tweaking an offense week in and week out to attack the weaknesses of the defense... and I want someone to build continuity, over the long haul. Clearly Joe Brady was not that guy, and it’s Rhule’s fault for not seeing that. Get someone in place who wants to build a consistent championship program.

Phil snow is DC. And joe brady hasnt taken another job. Not sure what this is.

He's probably pretty pissed that Brady is interviewing for HC jobs (not sure why) and the QB coach is interviewing for the LSU OC job.

I guess he'd like a little bit of stability in his coaching staff - especially coming off a 5-11 record.

Weird take, especially since Brady hasn't actually been offered or taken a job yet and since flavor-of-the-month coordinators being poached for HC gigs has been commonplace in the NFL for decades now. How is this any different than the 'real world' where people look to grow their skills and take on new challenges all the time? I've heard recruiters bitching about people not hanging around in their roles for years but... why should they feel obligated to do so?

They're few and far between. Most of the guys with the ability to be great coordinators also have the ambition to want to be head coaches. Just the way it is.

Extremely hard to find. Occasionally you see a guy like Jim Johnson but they're pretty rare.

About the only real pool for guys like that is older former head coaches, guys like Dan Henning, Wade Phillips or Norv Turner.

IF Brady leaves, I'm not going to cry about it. I think his play calling was certainly better than Shula's (et al.), but that's a pretty low bar IMO. Brady tinkered out more than I liked when down in the red zone. There are certainly some young NFL minds that can do as well as he did this past season. I'm not sure he's HC material based upon his play calling, but, I'm not going to fault a guy in any way for setting their sights higher. In some respects, it's the natural progression of things!

I get what you're saying though. I just think it's hard to identify a person that is content being a coordinator for the rest of their lives. I think that they exist, but most aren't going to tell you that during an interview. And, it may be kind of awkward asking someone that in an interview, and even more accepting that as an answer because I could see you or them feeling some type of way about someone admitting it, however unconsciously!

      Where does Moton rate among the all time CAR o-line players?

      With Horn I would gladly over pay... via the TAG.   I would take his 5th year option and TAG and TAG again. Dude is a monster but I dont want to pay for a monster with as few starts as he has.

      If Bryce plays like last year, we will be picking high and can move on.  But I am curious to see how people on here are when he sees success and becomes the guy, if he does. It's almost like people want him to fail. He's got that Panther jersey on and a good attitude. I am rooting for him, as you should.  Last year the coaching, OL, and weapons were abysmal, and it put him in a tough spot. He did not play well either, but we saw glimpses, and its a full team sport. I choose to go into this year excited under a fresh new regime and a top prospect from 365 days ago at the helm with new OL and weapons. Whatever happens, happens. Let's have some fun with it.

      Maybe. You know he wanted that OC gig each time, I believe the last time they even stated he interviewed for the role. This was during the whole youth movement that mccvay started as well.  Honestly I was hoping Seattle would have cut ties with pete, he would have been great here in a top mentor role. I don't think its talked about enough, they did Pete wrong. He made them a great NFL team for the first time in their history and gave them a SB. He's still in great shape by all reports and they just decided to go young. They even removed most of his pictures and quotes in the building. Sorta like what the pats did to bill, but waay worse.  I guess I have too much loyalty for the new times, no chance either should been to out for retirement..
