Coach Wilks

Even if we do well down the road and he hires a good, innovative OC, he’ll get poached by a different team for a HC opportunity.  Then he’ll have to hire someone else.  Rinse and repeat

 

We shall cross that bridge if we get there.

 

Also, maybe Wilks gets the best out of McAdoo down the stretch? Do they both get to stay?

 

No matter what happens. We need to make sure we have one of those OC Assistants waiting in the wings. Lose one, promote one. Rinse and repeat.

One thing i know about football is this, there are NO sure things…….lets just enjoy the moment.  Let the season play out, let’s see how he and his team finish up!  No guarantees that Wilks will be great just like theirs no guarantees on the young offensive minded coaches being great……. Just got to roll the dice!

Amen brother 

and the GM and and and 

heartbreaking 

That seems true but there is different ownership up there. Maybe it doesn’t work as well here as it did there for them. I think a lot of people here saw McD as a really good football guy that could be a HC, and wished things had worked out differently. If only he’d stubbed his toe in Buffalo.

Brandon Staley was a DC before he got the Chargers job, but you seem to have listed him among offensive-minded coaches if I'm reading your list right.

He was a QB in college. But you’re right his coaching experience is on defense. In any event…the vast majority of these impressive young QBs are being coached up by offensively minded head coaches. Hell…Brian Daboll has Daniel Jones playing well enough that Victor Cruz is banging the drum for him to get an extension. He was all but a bust last year. Daboll is an offensive minded coach.

B. Daboll is doing a great job with Jones but it's his staff that's doing the work.  He sets the tone of the team and gets his coordinators to implement his plan.  Your head coach doesn't have to be a offensive mind to get the talent out of your offense.

We've shown more improvement and fight in 2 games with Wilks than we did in the 2 1/2 years Rhule was here. Even McAdoo has looked better with his play calling with Wilks providing him direction. I wanna see how we look at the end of the season, but he's earned an interview right now and a chance to lay out his plan for the future weather he wants to stick with McAdoo or hire a different OC.

Yup, and this is one of the primary barometers for Wilks. Wins are nice but did the team show steady improvement and development during his time? If so, it's perhaps even more impressive since his staff was not chosen by him and he seemingly had zero prep time before stepping into the role.

The play calling definitely has been better lately.  I don’t think McAdoo sucks as much as others think he does (although that game plan against LA was absolute shite), so if the offense keeps it up and we keep them both, so be it.  
 

there’s just a history of successful OC’s getting hired elsewhere for HC opportunities.  Constantly promoting from within is what got Rivera fired and Doug Pederson even though he’d just won a ring like 3 years prior.  We’ll see what happens; it’ll be interesting for sure!

    • The only WR that makes sense in the first is KC Concepcion. He fills multiple roles in the offense and is a PR specialist.
    • That depends upon what happens with receiver this year and what happens with free agency next year. Hopefully we'll be good by addressing receiver this year (regardless of whether we snag one in the first round or not). If we don't and are unlucky enough for to Coker get hurt (and X solidifies his bust status, and JAGs be JAGing), then we may be fùçked! But I assume that Dan Morgan and company will feel compelled to look for answers in free agency and use that to set up the draft just like this offseason.  Reality is not as simple as we drafted this position X times in a row in the first. If you're suggesting that we could draft a position in the first four times in a row, that's not likely. At some point probability has to be taken into account. I mean, how many years in a row can you be unlucky with one position?  As I've said at times before, you try and plan for the long term personnel-wise and cap-wise of course, but things happen so, in a sense, you still must look at each season--each "team" if you will--unto itself each season. So many things can happen between now and then. A major industry can profoundly impact the bigger picture (like this year), someone could offer you a trade proposal that you can't resist, players might not have progressed to your expectations--you know, things like that. Moreover, you have to be aware of the dynamics of each draft class, including the fact that there could be unexpected draft risers and fallers during the college season. That's a lot. As of today, we expect the 2027 draft to have more exclamations than question marks at OT and the QB class and WR group is expected to be exceptionally strong. We'll have a clearer picture of whatever we'll have to focus on next year at this time.  Lastly, keep in mind that there's always more than one way to get you to where you want to go. The yearly puzzle is not static, it's dynamic and complex.   
    • I'm fine with Thieneman or McNeil-Warren.. Rodriguez won't last until 51 so they would have to trade up, he may end up being a late first round selection. Anthony Hill Jr. is more likely to be available. I don't expect defense in the first round now after the murmurings of finding another weapon for Bryce.
