I personally would love it.  Chad is probably my favorite OC we've ever had.  I know many of us, myself included, grew frustrated with him in his second year here because it felt like he was auditioning for a HC job more than focusing on the job at hand, but even so, his offenses had rhythm, were creative, effective, and fun to watch.  I'm still really surprised he isn't currently in a playcalling capacity of any kind...  dumbfounded actually.

Not sure this would factor a whole lot into the decision, but I do think if you want an OC who's less likely to leave for a head coaching job, Chudzinski could fit that role.

It's not that he wouldn't want a job mind you, I just don't think he'd get a lot of looks.

How about neither. If Wilks can't find better people then he should not be in consideration for the HC gig.

Well to be clear, prior acquaintance helps sometimes but coaches don't necessarily limit the pool strictly to people they know.

You also have to factor in that assistants who were part of a staff that was freed up because their head coach was fired can often be good candidates.

And frankly, if he continues to call good games like he did this past Sunday, keeping Ben McAdoo could become a very viable option.

I just fear he is too much like Rivera. Old fashioned and we don’t have a franchise QB that can carry his butt. 

I'm optimistic that he may be a better defensive mind than Rivera after that argument with Snow. I can't imagine Ron getting into it with other coaches over the gameplan or general philosophy. Bold for a secondary coach to put his neck out there like that unless he's sure of what he's talking about.

But yeah, it's too early to call. So far he's just a good Locker Room Dad.

LOL that would be underwhelming. 

I think a few weeks of film brings this all back to reality. This feels like Sam at 3-0 IMO. No film with the complete switch-up only last so long. I love the competency and respect the work they are doing but the hype has already grown past the reality from 1 game after years of some of the NFL worst coaching.

I don't honestly think any hype Wilks gets is going to matter.

He's either going to perform or he isn't.

I don’t know if I’d go that far to say he is a better Defensive Mind then Rivera. His one year as our DC our defense didn’t really improve against the pass and actually got worse against the run. 
We had a lot of sacks though there is that.

He isn't calling plays because he doesn't want to call plays. 

From people that know him on the Miami Hurricanes board, he's happy in his current role.

Chudzinski previously worked as a tight ends coach, if I recall correctly. That'd be an option too.

(ditto Freddie Kitchens, I think)

      Not sure how much he was a long term piece of this team.   Sucks to not have him as part of the rotation.   Looks like it's Lee Hunter time.

      Bears at Panthers week 1

      I am not sure he will put the over the games but we’ll probably have them.   Two things I am thinking.  We have 4 preseason games.  All the coaches have enough service time to know the standards that are in place for decades. If I recall it was play your starters just a series to start woth and build it up until week theee where play a lot and you have week four to set hour roster. Evaluate before cuts.   Bevell will certainly have the whole thing down pat.   I’d they don’t do the fries and frie air will worry too. Because it is set up to do that.     I have said since they went t three preseason people have to figure a new way are still feeling it out and trying things.  We don’t have to this year.
