Fair point 😄

They've also been known to have a turbulent relationship with some of those coaches after they're hired.

Kelly may be the exception that proves the rule.  And even that could have worked out, right up until they gave him personnel control so he could take his science experiment to the next level......and blow up the lab while he was in it.

That's one reason why I noted it. Kleiman is generally a decent source.

I'd like to think he has information outside of just Cowherd, but if so he didn't mention it.

Also coulda swore two Broncos beat reporters just hours ago said it looked like Payton was out. What happened while I was napping.  😂😂😂

imagine hiring a coach that everyone had a chance to interview and no one did

I don't know that anybody else interviewed Andy Reid when he got the Eagles job. He wasn't even a coordinator at the time. Hell, I'm not sure anybody besides them interviewed Sirianni last year either.

If there's one thing the Eagles have shown they know how to do, it's hiring head coaches.

Wait, you're not actually comparing Steve Wilks (which is who Growl was alluding to) to Andy Reid?

Philly definitely has a different process when it comes to their HC searches. They interviewed and hired Reid before hiring a coach who had never been a coordinator was even a thing, and when they hired Pederson and Sirianni, they were the only ones to interview those two during those respective HC searches.

Best read I can get is that the owner wants him but others aren't so sure.

Having people to potentially stop the new owner from doing something dumb would have been nice to have here a few years ago.

No. Just giving an example of the situation he was talking about.

Every coaching search is different. There's no one model that everybody follows.

Nick Sirianni and Dan Campbell both said some things that people chuckled at when they first got their jobs.

They're doing decent now though...

    • Why do you say that. What leads you to think that we, as supporters, think his ceiling is 10-12. That's a ridiculous assumption on your part. The Seahawks won the SB with Darnold passing for 25 TD's, 14 Ints with a 99.1 rating for the season.  The Panthers with Young were at 23 TD's, 11 Ints and a 78.8 rating for the season. Not that far off. The problem with all the Young discourse around here is the assumption that the QB is the sole determining factor for a teams success. That just isn't true and it's certainly not how Morgan and Tilis are building the Panthers. 
    • Do we pay based on how many wins or how many games Bryce led us to wins? We've spent quite a bit on defense this year and hopefully they're much improved. If the Panthers do get to 10 wins, but Bryce has another year like last year where he showed up big in a couple, was present in a few, and forgettable in most, do we still pay him 50m per year?  I keep bringing it up because I think it's relevant, but Bryce was outplayed by a 6m per year backup last year. I don't see how it's possible to pay a top tier QB contract to someone who's putting up backup QB production. 
    • I understand tempering expectations, but there are some issues with his points. Walker was a 3 year starter, but Green Bay let him walk and no other team was quick to snatch him up. That says something. Freeling will compete to start. With Hunter, we rotate our linemen and even 5th round pick Cam Jackson played some meaningful snaps last year. Both Brown III and Wharton have underwhelmed since we picked them up. Hunter is a run plugger that we have needed. Hunter will play early, even if he isn't the "starter." Brazzell was described as one of Canales' favorite prospects in the draft and he has a speed element we have been missing. I think Canales is going to have plays drawn up with Brazzell on the field just out of pure excitement. It will be up to Brazzell to prove he can handle it, though. If he can, he will play. As far as our secondary picks, yeah they have to earn their stripes and Evero tends to lean on veterans. So they might take time, but if they can show they can play, they will see the field. Smith-Wade and Ransom did. Sam Hecht simply has to show he can handle the mental side of the NFL game. If he can, he is in a direct competition with Fortner, who's also relatively young, but also on his 3rd NFL team and doesn't have the power profile of Hecht.  I can appreciate that Gantt wants to pour cold water on what was perceived as an impactful draft, but facts are facts.
