I will make this prediction, our new GM will set a new bar for the organization.

He will be worse than Scott Fitterer.

That’s such a low bar to clear. I mean Scott had no working football knowledge. If the new GM even looks at a fans mock draft and uses that he’d do way better than SF ever did.

I honestly don't think we'll get anyone older than 50.

[Bear Hands]

Excluding Ben Johnson...pecking order could be something like this:

1. Mike Macdonald

2. Bobby Slowik

3. Dave Canales

4. Promote Ejiro Evero

5A/B. Brian Callahan/Frank Smith (Don't know enough about and they don't call plays/unsure about them)

 

[Mr. Scot]

I just don't think there's enough info out there to have confidence in Slowik.

I want us to hire "consistently good", not "small sample good".

Well there's a good chance he's got Tepper's attention and that's all that matters haha

Tepper may have too gamble with someone a year early to get who he wants.

From what I have read about MM over the weekend he just seems like the dude.  Almost like a cant miss type candidate.

 

I think slowik needs more seasoning

 

canales is probably who we end up with

But considering all these openings we might have to accept our best option could be rolling the dice on someone a little bit.

I have said before but I would not be surprised if Slowik returns to the Texans for one more season. 
Especially if the Texans somehow make it to the AFC Championship.

Money talks to a certain degree - I just don't think Slowik or Johnson would want to have their careers ruined by Dave the snake Tepper. The fact that there's talk of retaining Morgan/Suleiman is beyond absurd.

I've seen it reported that DeMeco has essentially told Slowik he should come back for another year. Here's him telling the media something to that effect.

That Texans team bloomed so quickly w/a young coordinator in Slowik with a young HC Ryans, it may feel very exciting for them to build a new powerhouse there.  Can see the energy around staying and building a perennial SB contender with Stroud, Anderson, & company. 

That's a legacy (+more) type play to stay.

I get that logic, but we've seen a lot of younger offensive coaches get HC jobs that "weren't ready" in the eyes of many who have become great head coaches.

Sean McVay, Mike McDaniel, Zac Taylor, Matt LeFleur and Kevin O'Connell just to name a few. If anything it's been the older/more experienced coaching hires that have struggled in recent years.
