The problem with Slowik is the problem Johnson had last year. First year play callers don’t expect to be offered head coaching jobs, so they don’t have support staffs. That’s the first question asked in interviews “who can you bring with you?”. 

Often depends on how extensive their NFL experience was prior to coordinating.  I.E. Zach Taylor wasn't even an OC at the time and had a great network when he was hired by Cincy due to his background.

Slowik has 3 years in WAS and 6 in SF with the Shanahans.  I imagine there's more than a few guys he could find to bring in with him.

Whoever is chosen, I just hope Tepper doesn't idolize them and put undo pressure and expectations on them. I fear who he will compare Ben Johnson to if he called Matt Rhule 'his Chuck Knoll'. I hate the whole Chuck Knoll or 'I want the next coach to say the eulogy at my funeral', even if it was said in jest, I think part of his problem is seeing these guys as saviors that are going to fix everything for him.

Correct me if I’m wrong but he was an offensive assistant 2 years ago. Building relationships for a HC job probably wasn’t even on his radar.

You don't need to be building relationships for that specific reason.  He's been building relationships in the league for 12 years.  Just as in any business, it's about establishing those connections when they present themselves because you never know when it comes back around as an opportunity.    

Ben Johnson for example, is quite tied in (for over a decade) with Sherman/Philben tree with guys like Dan Campbell and Zach Taylor.  The late 2000s A&M and early 2010s Dolphins staff wasn't super successful, but that spawned some great offshoots as we see today.  So, I don't think we should assume one's rolodex is thin just because of his role on a team.

There was a great story about how Dan Campbell and Zac Taylor met at A&M and it was a lasting impression. And even further back, if Zac didn't pursue the gal he liked at Nebraska, he would've never married Mike Sherman's daughter, gotten that job at A&M, then Miami, eventually propelling him to Cincy.  

You never know where or where the bridges you build will take you, but best be making them at all times.

Don't think Leak was around, but I know we followed it pretty heavily as it was happening.

Fitterer wasn't part of the original group. He and one other (Khan, I think) were tacked on at the end.

Peters technically made it to round two but the 49ers gave him a raise and a new title (Assistant GM) to come back 

Best I remember they interview lots of guys and had a stale period, basically no one wow'd them. Then pat stewart got a call form finnererererer saying hed like to interview and got the job shortly after.

It could happen fast now that those playoff teams lost. My pick is frank smith and hes free now. 

Yeah, I know. I was joking. I big part of me doesn't care because I know it won't be a good hire or matter since Tepper is going to keep doing what he wants.

Based on what I read at the time, Rhule brought a list of his candidates (personnel guys with prior connections to him like Jeff Ireland and Adam Peters). Likewise, Tepper brought his (pretty much all analytics guys).

As it went on, neither of them could convince the other to get fully on board with any of their guys. That led to some extra invites, one of which went to Fitterer.

In the end, Rhule won enough debates that all the second interviews went to guys on his list.

Can't help thinking Tepper's determined we're gonna do things his way this time. Hence the majority of analytics guys over men with a scouting background.

      Where does Moton rate among the all time CAR o-line players?

      By CanadianCat · Posted

      With Horn I would gladly over pay... via the TAG.   I would take his 5th year option and TAG and TAG again. Dude is a monster but I dont want to pay for a monster with as few starts as he has.

      If Bryce plays like last year, we will be picking high and can move on.  But I am curious to see how people on here are when he sees success and becomes the guy, if he does. It's almost like people want him to fail. He's got that Panther jersey on and a good attitude. I am rooting for him, as you should.  Last year the coaching, OL, and weapons were abysmal, and it put him in a tough spot. He did not play well either, but we saw glimpses, and its a full team sport. I choose to go into this year excited under a fresh new regime and a top prospect from 365 days ago at the helm with new OL and weapons. Whatever happens, happens. Let's have some fun with it.

      Maybe. You know he wanted that OC gig each time, I believe the last time they even stated he interviewed for the role. This was during the whole youth movement that mccvay started as well.  Honestly I was hoping Seattle would have cut ties with pete, he would have been great here in a top mentor role. I don't think its talked about enough, they did Pete wrong. He made them a great NFL team for the first time in their history and gave them a SB. He's still in great shape by all reports and they just decided to go young. They even removed most of his pictures and quotes in the building. Sorta like what the pats did to bill, but waay worse.  I guess I have too much loyalty for the new times, no chance either should been to out for retirement..
