Anybody still not on board?

I question why it was a vote with inexperienced people, most of whose (3/5) are not even football people. That’s strange. 

The only non-football people on the search committee were Tepper and his wife.

Fitterer, Morgan and Suleiman are all football people.

I still would've preferred Harbaugh and I would've preferred a younger offensive mind, but I'm happy with Reich and more excited than I've been in several years so I guess I'd say I'm "on board." I'm not sure he brings us a Super Bowl win which is the ultimate goal but he definitely brings us much closer to relevance and some sustained success/playoff appearances. I'm hopeful 2 years from now we can finally say we've had back to back winning seasons.

I’m 100% on board no question about it. Just hope we get a QB competent enough to benefit from the coaching additions. This staff could look very different in 2 years. I don’t think you put a staff like this together without the idea/commitment that you’re getting a QB ready to win now. 

Kinda wondering if we’re secretly in the Rodgers sweepstakes…

I am not talking about the search committee, I am talking about the supposed ‘vote’ they took between Tepper, his wife, Morgan, Fit…and I believe the team president.

Even Morgan and Fit do not have any history hiring a HC that I know about but at least they’re football people.

I could be mistaken on some of these details but the sentiment is that the lack of experience, qualifications, and extremely poor record of Tepper himself I would think would be slightly concerning to even the most rational/forgiving fan.

If it isn’t well, I guess I am just paranoid after a half decade of losing seasons and worst stretch in 30 years.

Think it’s a bad sign Tep is still taking a very hands on approach. I also am skeptical that out of all the blunders that came with Rhule, Fit just went under the radar and somehow Rhule’s backwards GM hire is he’s totally qualified and everyone thinks he’s great/qualified. Also very strange. I also don’t like Reich’s stint with the Colts at all, but plenty of examples of coaches learning.

And Reich IS an actual football person. He does know what he was doing so I never doubted his ability to fill out a nice staff.

The question remains most important QB, and is Fit competent in filling out a real roster. I have these doubts and these will make or break Reich.

I will feel much more on board if they somehow finagle moving up and getting an elite talent. Reichs’ offense will look like trash with retreads and game managers.

You can't understand why an OWNER would be involved in a head coach search and hire? 🤨 The fact he didn't just make an outright decision by himself is a good sign. It's pretty unrealistic and naive to expect someone to be completely hands off of their team though.

Tepper didn't vote. Kristi Coleman did.

That means the ratio of football people to non-football people remained the same.

I was Team Steichen but have to admit, I don't see any of the HCs this cycle doing what we have done. Even the great and illustrious douche that is Sean Payton....I don't see his staff being one that I would be this excited about. 

If memory serves, I think some of the pro-Payton guys were probably the biggest anti-Reich voices.

You have to wonder with this new coaching staff in place... if we go get a veteran QB like Carr ... its bc this group wanted it. 


I wonder if a huddle meltdown would follow if that were to occur....

With this coaching staff, we’ll have options and a great contingency plan in place. In the event we don’t get a rookie QB in the draft, we could sign a veteran to a modest contract as a placeholder until we do. With the staff we have now, we’ve ensured of the resources and experience to help just about any QB be successful.

    • Sweet jebus this is idiotic Yes, overall team success in this league, you need a good QB, but beyond just that painfully obvious fact, let's get into the rest of the stupid in there......... First things first, you say.. "if we need a good QB for him to have success, then why are you drafting that player with the #1 pick" Show me one time I've ever said we would need a good QB for T-Mac himself to have success... you can't, because I never have.  I think you're referring to the "he's bad enough that we then have a Top 5 pick to target a QB" part of my post, which is very clearly talking about said QB, not T-Mac.  The other way to interpret that is just overall team success, which again, wouldn't be anything about T-Mac or his ability to impact the offense or overall team wins and losses. I'm quite sure I could do this with a number of teams over the years, but I don't want to spend the time to do multiple, so I'll keep it to just the 2023 Vikings right now since you wanted to use Jefferson as your example....... The Vikings went 3-6 after Cousins went down last year.  And two of those wins came before Jefferson even came back from his own injury, they were 1-4 in the final 5 weeks after Jefferson came back. In those 5 games, Jefferson had 31 catches, 503 yards, and 2 TDs Having the WR you specifically called out didn't help them go better than 1-4 with a bad QB, even though he still put up a great stat line for that time period either.  It also didn't make that QB good enough to where they then went out and brought in TWO new QB's this year to replace Doubs and Mullens who started down the stretch for them last year. And that's with 4th year Jefferson, not a rookie that T-Mac would be If you expect a WR getting drafted #1 overall to be the player to turn a franchise as bad as we are around in 1 season, make whatever QB we're able to put in there be successful, and lead us to a solid season, then you are literally insane. We are AWFUL, we have a few young guys who could turn into great players, but we are so far from being a good team, that there isn't any player we could draft next year that is going to change that in 2025.
    • They might be ass but it’s the professional level like NFL!! I will take a win no matter what!! Still not over
    • So you are just going by what these analysts are saying. So if come draft time they say Ward/Sanders is worth pick 1 you should be good. The future draft QB class is always going to be projected as the next great thing until these young players start playing the game and scouts can see some flaws. Think of all of the high school phenoms that didn’t look as good in college.  If Manning does turn out to be the next great prospect only one team gets to draft him. Odds are someone else could get the top pick, especially if go all in on building a supporting roster. I’m never going to be a just wait another year guy, because there are so many variables. If our staff loves Ward/Sanders then we should just draft them with our pick. It’s as simple as that. I also might go with Hunter over TMac as WR1 in this class.  The roster has the OL to help a young QB, young weapons in Coker, XL, and JT to grow with a QB, and a RB who can catch in Brooks as a safety net for a young QB. Sign a vet WR, extend BC and our offense would be set outside of depth. Let our young offensive core go through their growing pains while we iron out the defense. It’s definitely a path forward.
