Steichen as HC

Recommended Posts

After the debacle on Sunday, I am ready to move on to a totally different regime.  My first choice is Shane Steichen. 

He has excelled with Hurts as QB.  A very mobile Cam like QB.  Big, Strong and an added weapon in the running game.

I would imagine he would improve our current WR group making them from average to an above average group. 

I would also think that he would probably want Minshew to come along because he knows the offense which would be a plus while we get our new QB up to speed.  

So let's say Tepper gets him as our Head Coach. 

What is your first free agent move?

Who is your first pick? 

Do you go TE and run with who we have on the roster, or do you reach for a Hurts like QB like Richardson at 8 (supposing that we remain at 8)? 

Who does he bring in as a Defensive Coordinator?

I wonder what kind of leader he will be? Some of these offense gurus turn out to be absolute failures and other prove to be worth it. It's a risk but I understand one worth taking. Hopefully he is as good a leader as he is at his current position. If we get him I of course am all in on supporting him as I always am no matter who we have on the field or coaching. Certainly nobody could ever be worse a leader or decision maker than Rhule anyhow so he has to be an upgrade over that guy.

Dom Capers was an excellent DC, not much of a Head Coach but a great DC.  The only question is does his defense fit against today's offenses?  Many rule changes since he last coached.

Also if he were to become a DC we'd have a better chance of him staying as a DC than to move into a head coaching position.

I’m hoping we look at other candidates as well. As someone posted earlier, some of these offensive “gurus” turn out to be not so good leaders of men, which is a more important qualification for a HC. I’m hoping Tepper, Fitt and co. will cast a wide net in their search. I’m curious to see for example what a Frank Reich (experience), Ben Johnson or Demeco Ryans (young up and coming playcallers) would bring to the table if considered.

Someone else mentioned it here but I think you absolutely need to hire an offensive guy for your head coach and roll the dice that he's a good leader. Even for this example if you hire coach that is not your offensive guy and hire a stud OC he just gets picked up by another team. I think for that reason alone this position regardless of who it is has to be and offensive guy

This would be my choice as well. We need to have some QB development here. Jake was the last QB I can remember on this team getting better as time went on. Cam was the guy from day 1, they didn't even try to develop him, he was that good. Other then that no one grew, how they looked when they got here is how they look when they left.

And occasionally one is so far ahead of the curve that being a piss poor leader doesn't even matter until the rest of the NFL finally starts catching up. Mike Martz.

    • I'm not sure 19 is too high for Rodriguez anymore.  He looks to be moving up boards, but it could be smokescreens.  
    • I see XL this way---great athlete.  Good person.  When we drafted him, we knew he was raw.  One year of WR in college (starting) and in HS, he was a QB, I believe. We knew we would need patience with him.  I think year 3 will be make or break.  He is older, and I think that people with his athletic ability have always been better than those with less---but those with less can become more successful.  Why is that?  in my view, it is mental. XL can learn the mechanics and nuances of playing WR if he becomes focused on it and works at it.  I had the opportunity to talk to Armanti Edwards one day after OTAs (great guy) and he discussed how overwhelming it was.  He seemed shocked.  At that time, I knew that Fox hated the pick (I heard him mock Armanti to another coach when he saw Edwards drop a punt from a jugs machine--then I saw Armanti look back at Fox as if to suggest that he was feeling the pressure to please the coach. We forget that these are kids in their early 20s.  At the time, Fox was a lame duck.  Remember when he had Clausen as the #3 QB and was forced to move him up the ladder?  I liked Fox, but I think the climate and culture was influenced by the politics.  Currently, I see another Wr from SC who is struggling, but he is ina  very nurturing, positive culture. Let's see what happens with XL.  I am frustrated too---but XL was a second round talent who was raw and we traded up to get him.  He had 500 yards as a rookie--lets call 2025 a sophomore slump and see if we can't get at least 50 yards per game out of him.  If not, cut bait.
    • Sadiq feels like a lazy comp.  Sure he would be a big improvement over what we have but at a position we don't and maybe can't (midget qb) utilize.  I hope the staff puts together a list of players you automatically take at 19 (Freeling, Lemon, Downs, Faulk) and if none are there, trade back to look at (Thieneman, McNeil-Warren, Proctor, Lomu, Allen, Iheanachor, Banks, Woods).  I get the people that think an OT would be a waste because we temporarily patched that hole, and ILB and safety are a waste because that is high to take those particular positions, but by trading back we get extra picks to fill every need.  A draft that has an OT, S, ILB, slot WR, and C would really put us in a good position moving forward if we get an extra first three rounds additional pick.
