Someone else has already mentioned it on here, but I really think a lot of people are overrating Flores.

It's valid that he didn't deserve to get fired by the Dolphins when he did. It's also valid that he wasn't really all that successful with the Dolphins either.

Throw in the talk about toxic environments and the fact that he comes from the Belichick coaching tree, and there are a lot of questions to be asked.

I hear you but the lower we sink the harder it's going to be to convince higher end candidates with fewer flaws to want to right this ship.

Parcells made the Super Bowl in his second stint as a head coach with New England.   Jimmy Johnson made the playoffs three of his four years with Miami.  

That being said, its difficult to repeat success as a Super Bowl winner.   For that matter, its difficult to get to and win the Super Bowl  The odds are stacked against any  specific team and coach. 

How long ago were those examples though.

I have criteria for our next head coach. 

1.  Previous NFL experience as an OC or DC.

2. Hire an OC that has a freaking imagination and not someone who runs an old-school offense.

3. A defensive coordinator that utilizes the talent we have on this team.  We struggled so many years without a good backend.  Now we have one and we don't utilize those players strengths. 

Dorsey, IMO, benefits from having Allen and I am not sure he'd be as good with a rookie or an average QB.   He kind of reminds me of Nagy when he had Manning.

For the record, my top choice is Rich Bisaccia. I'm not a huge fan of chasing the next Sean McVay because as often as not, what you actually wind up with is the next Joe Brady.

Now with that said, there's an argument to be made that if you don't keep up with the way league offenses are going right now, your risk being left behind.

If you watched the Chiefs-Bills playoff game last season, you'd have to ask yourself whether a defense based team could have withstood that.

Yea that's one of the main things these days, great offensive coaches can really hurt great defensive teams by scheming and finding the mismatches and exploiting.   Not always of course but it definitely seems to help.

Couple things on that front...

Also, can't find the tweet but I saw where Johnson's offense could potentially be on pace to score the most points in NFL history.

Don't know if that's going to happen, but if it does it puts them in the company of groups like The Greatest Show on Turf.

It’s really impressive. We’ve gone the DC route so many times… It’s all a risk…I’d like to see what this guy can do with a QB of his choice and full say so. Mcaffery would avg 10 yds a carry. Retreads (coach and QB)scare me. As do college coaches now ha.

For the interested, here's a list of the various red flags associated with some of the hot names that are out there.

Kind of on the young side (under 40)

-    Kellen Moore (34)
-    Mike Kafka (35)
-    Ben Johnson (36)
-    Shane Steichen (37)
-    Brian Callahan (38)
-    Demeco Ryans (38)
-    Jonathan Gannon (39)

Kind of on the old side (at or over 60)

-    Leslie Frazier (63)
-    Don Martindale (59)

Kind of inexperienced (less than 10 years)

-    Jerod Mayo (4th season)
-    Kellen Moore (5th season)
-    Demeco Ryans (6th season)
-    Byron Leftwich (7th season)
-    Mike Kafka (7th season)

Is it them or their quarterback?

-    Byron Leftwich (tom Brady)
-    Ken Dorsey (Josh Allen)
-    Brian Callahan (Joe Burrow)
-    Eric Bieniemy (Patrick Mahones)
-    Mike Kafka (Patrick Mahomes*)

Is it them or their boss?

-    Byron Leftwich (Bruce Arians*)
-    Brian Callahan (Zac Taylor)
-    Eric Bieniemy (Andy Reid)
-    Mike Kafka (Andy Reid*)
-    Jerod Mayo (Bill Belichick)
-    Frank Smith (Mike McDaniel)

First year as a coordinator:

-    Demeco Ryans
-    Ben Johnson
-    Frank Smith
-    Jonathan Gannon

Hasn't even been a coordinator yet:

-    Jerod Mayo

Retreads who weren’t very good the first time:

-    Brian Flores
-    Dan Quinn

Owners seem to be afraid to hire him:

-    Eric Bieniemy

 

The one name I see on a lot of people's short lists that pretty much none of these questions apply to? Raiders DC Patrick Graham 🤔

The reason you want your HC as OC or at least partly your OC is that if you have a good OC, he's more than likely going to get hired away fairly quickly. Just look at the guys we're talking about.

That's one reason why if we did go the young offensive mind route, I'd like to hire an older OC, preferably a former head coach. Ditto on the defensive side.

      Round 1: The Carolina Panthers select OT Monroe Freeling (Georgia)

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      I wonder if they'd consider trading Rasheed Walker to a team that needs tackle help but missed out in the draft?

      LOL. This is such a Panthers fan take.  Anyone who falls to us must suck because some other team didn't take them before.  We got lucky with Lemon, Thieneman, and Freeling all falling to us (honestly any of the three is a A+) but the WR and S positions are much deeper than the LT position in this draft.  We got the LT w/ the most upside at 19.  Mauigoa played RT in college and some think he is a guard in the nfl.  Spano played RT in college and some think he is a guard in the NFL due to short arms.  Blake Miller played RT in college and is not as good as Freeling.  Proctor is a true LT but his ability to handle quick edge's worries me (see Icky).  Freeling is a true LT and a gifted pass protector.  Many think he has a very high ceiling and will benefit from not having to start right away.  This is how you build a franchise.

      Round 1: The Carolina Panthers select OT Monroe Freeling (Georgia)

      After watching Cam get killed for years behind a bad Oline and having to watch the 2021 and 2023 Olines I will never complain about this team putting resources into that spot.  We got a true LT who could really push Rasheed Walker for the day 1 job. Go back and watch Iceky's draft profile from 2022 and all the talk was Ickey would be an all-pro guard in a zone blocking scheme, but he could play LT in a gap power run scheme. That's why Ickey looked really good when Wilks took over and we just started running gap run plays and just mauled people up front but under Canales we've been more of a zone running team. Ickey can survive at LT with his pass blocking but his true strength will always be his ability to just move guys in the run game and that's a skill set that's better used at guard.  Take another OT later on day 3 to learn from Moton to take over RT in a couple of years and let Walker and Freeling battle it out for the day 1 LT job then next offseason trade one of Hunt of Lewis and let Ickey move inside to guard.
