As does the Jets OC Mike LaFluer, but he doesn't seem to be generating much buzz right now.

Probably a year early. But it doesn't hurt to have a brother pumping out 13 win seasons. 

He's near the top of my list.

The guy everyone laughed at 2 years ago is coaching one of the best teams in the nfl in Philadelphia.

 

Mister was the leader of that crusade 

What "crusade" was there against Sirianni?

He had some kinda goofy moments early on (so did Campbell) but he's doing well now.

We should probably review the data on offensive-minded coaches since McVay was hired and kicked off this obsession.

2018

1. Pat Shurmur

2. Frank Reich

3. Matt Nagy

2019

1. Kliff Kingsbury

2. Freddie Kitchens

3. Matt LaFleur

4. Adam Gase

5. Zac Taylor

2020

Kevin Stefanski

2021

1. Nick Sirianni

2. Arthur Smith

2022

1. Brian Daboll

2. Kevin O'Connell

3. Mike McDaniel

4. Nathaniel Hackett

5. Josh McDaniels

I didn't include coaches with an offensive background that had solidified themselves as head coaches more recently since that doesn't seem to be exactly the theme (e.g. Jon Gruden, Bruce Arians, Doug Pedersen) although you could argue for that. Or Dan Campbell since he was a tight ends coach which is a bit different than the above.

What are the trends? 

1. Be wary of coaches who may have ridden the coattails of elite QBs (Hackett, Gase, +/- McDaniels) unless they were clearly involved in the growth of said QB (Daboll)

Possible 2023 examples: Leftwich, Dorsey, Bienemy

2. Be wary of coaches who served under a historically good head coach that has their fingerprints on the whole team (McDaniels, Nagy)

3. Probably doesn't need to be said after the traumatic experience of Rhule, but just to really emphasize it, be wary of college coaches (Kingsbury, Rhule, Urban Meyer).

Other than that, it's a mixed bag. Even coaches like Zac Taylor have looked pretty bad outside of his super bowl run; he's probably a Rivera level guy who isn't very good but can do enough not to completely impede elite play from his qb. Daboll looks the best on this list but it's so early only 6 games in. And he molded Josh Allen from a possible bust to the MVP frontrunner and possible hall of famer. How many candidates with that resume are you going to get?

With that in mind, Steichen seems like the clear cut top choice. He oversaw the development of Herbert and Hurts.

Then perhaps Kellen Moore depending on how the Cowboys play out the year, although they are really riding on the strength of their defense. Maybe Ben Johnson if the Lions keep up pace and the Pats game isn't the start of their descent back to Earth although that's a quick ascent from coordinator to coach. Guess it's good that we have the earliest jump start on the hiring

Can't help but think we are going to try Harbaugh again.

Guys like Harbaugh and Payton are gonna want a higher level of control than it sounds like Tepper is willing to offer this time.

I get the feeling the days of full control head coaches in Carolina are over.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      By Swaggasaurus · Posted

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
