Do you want a Dan Campbell (leader of men) or Mike McDaniel (idiot savant) style of coach?

When you get a coach who doesnt have true leadership qualities, you open yourself up to poo like the divided locker room fiasco that we experienced this season.

Sure, it can happen to anyone but you best believe that the Wilks, Campbells, Tomlin types are shutting the Chit down and making for damn sure that he doesnt lose the locker room.

Youre dealing with testosterone filled, 20 something year old alphas like Smitty, Ray Lewis, Aaron Donald etc., who have to WANT to go to war for you, and not just for a paycheck.

They are looking the coach in the eye and evaluating him the same way that they’ve been evaluated athletically.

 The Reich & Rhule types aint it.

Said it elsewhere: The most important thing to me in a head coach is that they be smart.

Mike McDaniel is smart. So is Dan Campbell. They just have different personalities.

Winning in the NFL requires intelligence and adaptation. What wins today might not win two or three years from now, or sometimes even the following season (ask Ricky Manning).

Mike Shula was able to create an offensive scheme that was super effective, but when other teams figured out how to beat it, he had no clue how to respond.

I want us to hire somebody who can take the punches that other NFL teams are throwing and figure out how to punch back.

Seems like the best defensive coaches are smart former linebackers. If only we had one of those lying around. Luke would be an amazing head coach I think. He'd burn himself out in about 3 years though. 

 

That's what we've been missing on this team since he and Davis retired as well. I linebacker to bring that attitude and leadership.  Shaq was never going to be that. Mills, Morgan, Beason, Davis, Luke. We've always had that leader and it's severely lacking right now

Lemme throw in another reason why I don't care that much about personality...

How many remember Ray Rhodes?

Rhodes became famous after coaching the Eagles to victory in a game via a profanity laced halftime tirade that was so graphic players told people they couldn't even repeat small portions of it.

In their season review for the Eagles that season, NFL Films made a big deal of that moment. General expectation was that Rhodes was gonna be something special and that speech would be a turning point that people would remember farvdown the road.

Three mostly unremarkable years later, the Eagles fired Rhodes. He immediately got another head coaching job in Green Bay, and was promptly fired again after a single season.

Having that kind of fiery personality isn't enough if you don't also have something more to offer.

Rhodes didn't.

This franchise is void of any sort of culture at the moment. They need a "leader of men" type to build that here. For whatever reason, you tend to only get those types of coaches when they come from the defensive side of the ball.

This franchise had had its most success with that model - Capers, Fox, Rivera. I'd like to see them go that direction and find a bright mind to run the offensive side of the ball.

We have such a cloud of poo over the organization and a culture of losing. That's why I'm leaning towards someone to lead even if it means we improve to just 0.500 as our record. Then I think we'll be ready for someone to maximize the talents via savant scheming.

Steelers fans have been so lucky to have Tomlin this long.

      Give Legette another season?

      By frankw · Posted

      There is a lot of talk about his IQ and his commitment to the game and this and that and no one can firmly say one way or another unless they are with him day to day. Not to mention the standards don't jive with the presented reasoning for defending Bryce Young’s rookie season and subsequent beginning of his sophomore season and third season to where we are now 40+ games as he is finally beginning to string together better QB play. When I think of Legette present day I think back to Ted Ginn being a pretty significant bust with the Dolphins as a 9th overall pick and then coming to Carolina (twice) and still struggling with the same mental errors on the field and Cam Newton going back to him again and again and again and even going to a Super Bowl with him as the #1 WR. Deactivating him is weak. Figure something out to his strengths for the rest of the season and reassess in the offseason.

      No MATTER WHAT HAPPENS TWO WEEKS FROM NOW.... this season is a WIN in my books

      By Zaximus · Posted

      I think the season has been a success.  I try to look back at what I said would be a successful season before week 1 and we have reached that.  The success though has you wanting more haha.  But we've had improvements and are right there fighting.  Bryce has improved which was a big thing we needed.  Hope we improves more obviously.  But I agree with others about Evero, unless we have an offense putting up 30 points a game I don't like this type of defense he has.  No pressure either.  The biggest issues I see with this team are, zero pressure on the QB, soft zones, and the horrible special teams play on kickoffs/return coverage.  So I wouldn't mind replacing Evero if someone better is available and definitely get someone new running special teams.  When you combine Evero's defense and the fact we allow teams such good field position often it's a bad match.  Overall, we have won 8 games which is crazy.
