Based on what? 

What exactly makes Wilks better. Both coaches are over .500 in regular season. Wilks isn’t even close. I don’t particularly want either coach but not sure how you can say that with a straight face. Absolutely no statistics back up your claim. So are you just going off your gut?

So, they are interviewing the Tom Moore offensive circle (Jim Caldwell, Frank Reich). Expecting to see Freddie Kitchens, Marc Trestman, and Byron Leftwich next. Interesting how these offensive minds developed under Tom Moore have history with Steve Wilks and Al Holcomb as their defensive counterparts. Tom Moore currently is with Bruce Arians on the Buccaneers payroll.

Leftwich, Wilks, Christensen seems to be the direction this is going.

Tepper and his youth during the 70s and 80s watching those Steelers teams is apparent. Tepper wants a Tom Moore offense and a Tony Dungy defense, and it would not surprise me if he has been consulting with Dungy. Tepper continues to talk up and secure the coaching mentors of Byron Leftwich.

Wilks is .500 in the games he's coached this season but carry on.

Does Ben Johnson have an association there? Tepper has apparently had high interest in him as well.

Not Dungy/Moore Steelers line. Joe Philbin/Mike Sherman for Ben Johnson. Same line as Zac Taylor and Dan Campbell. The closest connection to Johnson would be McAdoo via Philbin. McAdoo and Philbin had a coaching relationship.

I guess but why not Ryans?  What are going to learn from Caldwell?

Ryan's might be busy with niners for a while.  Plus he might have more interest in another job.  So best to get those boxes checked early

Pretty much all of Johnson's pre-Lions resumé was spent with the Miami Dolphins. That is, except for three years (2009-2011) when he was working at Boston College.

Some kid named Kuechly was on the roster there at the time.

      Derrick Brown appreciation thread.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.

      How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.

      I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
