People seem to be sleeping on Mike Kafka as a candidate

[Pazhoosier89]

He went to Northwestern.  They don't just let anyone in there. He's my top choice.

[Wundrbread33]

Also he lost his hair early. That builds character. Resilience. Grit.
 

I’m down.  

[CashNewton22]

Of the remaining candidates he’s low key in my personal top 3 and always has been. Coached under Andy reid and rumors are he had more input than bienemny and made Daniel Jones look like an above average qb count me in.

Thanks for making this a thread. It’s a great read. 

Something I like is that he doesn’t carry a lot of extra. Checking out interviews and mic’d up bits, you’ll see he doesn’t have this rah-rah personality or come across either overly tough nosed, some specialty program creator, or trying to act like some grand offensive chess wizard. The article backs this up, just seems like a smart and get sh*t done type. No extra. 

Just very even keel, sound, and seems to carry himself in a way that seems much more seasoned and a guy who simply loves coaching and scheming. Not trying to self market or fluff or give off a certain bravado. The anti-Rhule.

Best offensive teams of the last 3 years are the Bills and Chiefs

Mike Kaftka learned under Reid (Chiefs) and Daboll (Bills)

Get him in here.

Without being in on the interviews he's high on my list.

I'd rather shoot for the moon with him than run it back with Wilks.

very short resume’ where he was insulated by some of the best offensive minds in football. 
 

not really confident in him tbh

The best coaches come from the best coaching trees and teams.  What's the problem?

Growl its time for you to board the Kafka train

The search started with 3 really good options for a first time HC from an OC. Now it's 2. I'm happy with either one of those guys, they all have upside.

Doresy is the only one that I am not sold on.

Want some literary irony?  Franz Kafka was a German-speaking Bohemian writer who is famous for his novella, "The Metamorphosis."  Metamorphosis means to transition from immaturity to maturity. 

I used to teach English Lit back in the day. 

Discuss.

I'd be on board. We don't need to rush but we also don't need to waste too much more time flirting with Sean Payton. If the Saints give even a whiff of nonsense move on and pinpoint your guy.

Actually, in the story, his main character, Gregor, I believe, transitions from a human to a giant roach.  Not the best metaphor after all.

Didn't he also direct "It's a wonderful Life"?
