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!

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By LegioX · Posted

      Bryce has been in the NFL 3 years and still looks like a very mediocre QB. Most games are nothing but mediocre plays with a highlight reel every now and then.  He is a very INCONSISTENT QB and it’s very fustrating. He does not deserve a 5th year option, even though the Panthers and all the dumb asses in the front office will give it to him.

      If they lose the last three......

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      I’ve rarely ever been more sure of anything than losing out — but how can anyone say with a straight face “Bryce hasn’t improved, but Canales has and he’s masks his flaws”. You have to be so out of touch with reality to put one way above the other when discussing those two.

      Last night was the classic example of a visiting team just holding on through the wave of emotion a home team has at the start of a big time game. Bama’s first two kickoff returns really set them back as far as playcalling and allowed OU to dictate field position. The emotion of the home crowd fed into what OU was doing at that point, and it felt like Bama would not be able to overcome that.     Once the kickoff returner was told to fair catch every kick, the game shifted, as Bama wasn’t starting each drive inside their own 15. It was then that Bama was able to make some plays, outscoring OU 34-7 the rest of the way.  I think the last 3/4 of the game proves Bama was the better team. OU was just able to ride the initial wave of emotion to a big lead, but Bama held on just enough.  However, had OU blocked the punt on Bama’s second drive and scored a TD (vice a FG on the ensuing drive), things likely would have been different.  Anyway, Roll Tide!
