We're not likely to reach out to anybody until the season is officially over.

Yeah I’m I with that. I just want us to bring in somebody with NFL success before. He works for me. I’m less enthused about Ryans or Wilks or even the eagles OC.

Tampering rules would prevent them from reaching out to anybody currently employed by another NFL team, but coaches outside the NFL or not currently employed would be fair game.

Still, as mentioned above, the wait was primarily out of respect for Steve Wilks.

He had a 5-3 playoff record with 3 NFC championship appearances, an NFC title, and a SB appearance in 4 years. His worst NFL regular season record was 8-8. I can understand being skeptical, but no need to make up reasons as to why.

BTW his brother has a SB ring as well.

His brother has 1 ring and has been trying to get back there ever since. He also has Lamar who everyone here wants to sign for whatever he want. Yet they cannot get back to the SB.

The only active NFL head coach with more than one ring is Bill Belichick so not sure why you think that's a slight. Should the Chiefs fire Andy Reid since they only have one ring with a HOF worthy QB? Mike Tomlin won his one ring in 2008 and hasn't been back to the SB since 2010, should the Steelers also get rid of him?

No, the Ravens do not want to swap seats with us. That's foolish.  You have seen what he can do but he will not get us beyond that. The Ravens are always a playoff threat but no SB threat.  But they would never get back into the coaching search as long as Harbaugh is there even though he is not the best but he far from the worst.  His brother is much the same.  They are a run, run, run, punt conservative defensive philosophy coaches. The only reason any of you here are interested is because of his name. Miss me with that.

Nope. People are interested because of his past success in the NFL. He's more than doubled his losses, almost won a Super Bowl, and he arguably never had the best team, and certainly had a decidedly limited QB that he put into a position for success. As for this ultra conservative philosophy you're talking about, it's certainly not reflected in his 49 teams' stats. But even still, why not run to success if you can? There were some pretty good QBs and teams in a pass-happy league when he was at the helm, and yet he figured out how to hang with them all.

Andy Reid only has one, is he a bad coach?

No. He's an offense oriented guy that no team would turn down.  The Harbaugh brothers are defensive guys. Both systems are predicated on a great QB. Reid has an eye for one. He's also a threat to have his team in the SB every year, the AFC title at minimum.  Harbaugh? Since, his one and only SB title he has been struggling to get back ever since. They are no threat even with Lamar. His brother at Michigan cannot do any better. Either could improve this team to challenge for the nfcs and occasionally the nfc title. They most definitely could break the back to back winning seasons curse. But I seriously doubt either could make us a serious SB threat once we make the playoffs. 

But that's just me I guess.

    • I definitely respect your opinion more than Tracy McGrady, Vince Carter, and Carmelo Anthony (whom I just watched on their show, all saying NOBODY wants to get the Hornets in the post-season). You win.
    • For all the good feelings about Bryce Young, when you read between the lines, it's what DC says and doesn't say that makes us know that Bryce hasn't necessarily been the supercomputer that they thought he would be. This season, Bryce has to make a tangible progression on the field. "A big part of it is being able to operate at the line of scrimmage — not in the huddle — when we want to, and he’s certainly capable of that," Canales said about Young. "It’s not solely on him. It’s a group that’s pretty young. You have to trust all the guys to go up there, communicate verbally or nonverbally and execute what we’re doing. We’ve made huge strides in that regard. His ability to alter things based on what they’re giving you will give us another edge, which he’s continued to grow and had some great examples down the stretch where he identified things they were doing, got us to the right check and capitalized on some plays. Want to see him do that more when it’s appropriate. We don’t need to be changing things just to change it." The implications, perhaps insinuations, are pretty evident. Bryce is just going to have to do better. "And then for Bryce, it’s the identification of early on the cues that the defense are giving us, to be able to eliminate parts of your progression before the ball’s even snapped. That happens with time. I’ve seen quarterbacks really own and master, which allows them to play lightning fast." Obviously Bryce isn't necessarily picking things up as fast as Canales would like, and I can only assume that Canales is making comparisons to Russell Wilson, Geno Smith and Baker Mayfield. But, of course, not everyone picks things up at the same rate. Bryce's pace has left Canales wanting for more. During the coming season, I don't believe that it will be good enough for Bryce to start putting things together in December, evidence of the light switch being on is going to have to show itself in September. Basically, it's really the moment that we've all been waiting for, the one that we thought should've happened earlier, the one that brings Bryce's accountability in the spotlight. On an off note, perhaps to that end, we should consider the possible implications upon the draft, but that's another story. Basically, it's time for Bryce to sh¡t or get off the pot. https://roundtable.io/sports/nfl/panthers/news/carolina-panthers-dave-canales-holds-nothing-back-on-bryce-young-in-new-interview
    • Wouldn’t mind Tyson. Definitely prefer him to Sadiq.
