NFL Coach/GM Updates

I wonder with theses GM/HC hires how attached are the coordinator positions?  I like the idea of Vrabel in regards to a leader and culture builder (like Wilks), but I want to know how he plans to innovate on his current style.  Frank leaned on his past success and showed a clear lack of growth/innovation. When Frank was hired, I really don't think Thomas Brown was THE plan since Frank was so insistent on calling plays.  Additionally, I feel Evero was forced onto Frank's staff.  (In this case, it worked out)

Do veteran retreads really hold an advantage in filling out a staff?  Do some of the young up and coming have an advantage because they are networking to fill out future staffs?

The GM hire to me, is the most important hire.  Let the HMFIC be the HMFIC.  I'd leave a blank check for Brandt Tilis or Nick Matteo, and let them build from there.  Chiefs and Ravens have been two of the most sustainable teams over the past 15 years.  I'd stay away from all things Eagles right now.  Picking from Detroit is not a bad idea, but I think the combination of Campbell and Johnson is the glue for that team.  Interesting to see what happens when you remove one from the other.

The advantage to guys that have been around a while is they've got a lot of good connections.

That doesn't guarantee they'll hire a good staff of course, but it helps.

Can you imagine the Chaos if Mike Tomlin is also let go.

 

Harbaugh/BB/Carroll/Tomlin surely we can get one of the 4 right?

Harbaugh or Tomlin for me. 

idk what the fascination with BB/Carroll is at this point of their careers. Atleast with a young coordinator you have the *chance* that you found a long term solution.

Can't wait til this dude hires another Boomer retread. That will be the final nail in the coffin for this club.

he wont. Tepper goes extremes. College coach who never has sniffed the NFL to retread NFL coach who has been around for 30 years. I'm fully expecting a WNBA assistant coach to get the job

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
