Coaching interview updates

Understand Kafka’s stance when you’re full bore on a playoff run, but tough for teams to wait 2 weeks to place their coaching search on a holding pattern when they’ll need to build a staff as well. The only thing that’s working in his favor is that none of the openings have yet been filled.

Here's the thing about a potential Johnson / Fangio pairing...

One of the things that helped Johnson rise to prominence was that he figured out a flaw in some Fangio defensive concepts commonly used around the league.

Pairing an older guy whose defensive concepts are copied everywhere with a younger guy who figured out a way to beat those concepts creates an "iron sharpens iron" situation which I would be absolutely all for.

That does sound like a great balanced prospective combo.

Well for one, unrelated but Gase was also 36 when he got his first HC role.

Both came out of the NFCN. 

Both were various position coaches before becoming OCs.

Johnson was OC for 1 year.

Gase was technically OC for 2 years in Denver (but Manning was there so he was the real OC) then 1 year OC in Chicago.

Both were/are being talked about as hot-poo OCs that are/were going to innovate the game.

I agree, their offense is different. Johnson’s is much less complex than what Gase ran.

Also, what team that Johnson has been apart of (ever) had success in the NFL?

How many unsuccessful teams was Bill Belichick a part of before the Patriots?

Likewise, Kliff Kingsbury and Sean McVay both coach in the NFC West. Does that make them similar?

Pretty much all of that is a huge reach.

There's usually one domino, and then the others start falling fast.

The funniest part of this is “both were various positional coaches before becoming coordinators”. Oh, you mean like 99% of all head coaches ever?

I’m just saying they give me the same vibes I didn’t say he was Gase incarnate. 
 

He’s 36 years old and never been on a team that sniffed success in the NFL. Has called plays for 1 season, and everyone is ready to hand him over the keys because he’s an “offensive guy”.

Well I can actually answer that about Bill Belichick.

1975- Baltimore Colts Playoffs

1978- Denver Broncos-Won division 

1979-1990- Went to the playoffs 6 times and won 2 Super Bowls while in various roles. Also spent time under Parcells. 

1994-Went to the playoff with the Browns as HC

1996- Went to the Super Bowl with the Patriots as DBs coach.

1998- Went to playoffs as Jets DC

So yeah, had some success prior, compared to Ben Johnson hardly sniffing the playoffs.

Nada

He was also Harbaugh's DC in SF... If this interview has nothing to do with Payton or Harbaugh or another candidate we already have plans to hire then it's significantly more concerning. Tepper should not be dictating to HC candidates who their staff is, he shouldn't even be interviewing coordinator candidates, that should entirely be up to the HC.

Fangio kinda concerns me bc he's a 3-4 guy but Panthers have 4-3 personnel. Don't get me wrong he's fantastic but the defense will have some serious growing pains

It's not like we have a bunch of prototypical 4-3 studs. If we were going to switch, now would be as good of a time as any.

We're also interviewing Marquand Manuel.

Who's that related to?

    • Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.          
    • I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.  
    • Classic example on what AI is not currently good for.  It will create a baseline of statistics (which are fine but must be used alongside tape and other evals) and partner that with every rumor mongering dips*&$t on the web.
