Falcons to hire Stefanski

I think it is funny that we label coaches without considering their circumstances.  Bill Belichick has a .449 winning percentage as a head coach when Tom Brady was not under center.  He will be a Hall of Fame coach. Stephanski, on the other hand, was asked to function in the shadow of the Watson crippling signing, one that he opposed (as it came out recently).  I am not quite sure what to think of him, but I am not dismissing him as a bad coach.  He had the worst situation in the NFL the entire time he worked there.  Frustrations mounted between him and the players over the six years he was there, but the dysfunction was manufactured in the front office.     

 

 

 

Stefanski is too busy trying to fit players into his scheme than actually putting players into the best situation to succeed. That's a pet peeve of mind. I want my coaches to adapt, in-game, personnel-wise and opponent-wise. I know it can be considered a big ask, but that's what makes great coaches great. I want to see coaches continually do more with less, not do less with more.

Look, I am highly skeptical of Dave Canales---ABC: anybody but Canales calling offensive plays for us going forward---but I do acknowledge that he helped Baker to develop and get paid, not as HC granted, but still. Stefanski didn't do that. He arguably became more critical of Baker, and that's ultimately a big reason why their relationship soured. Make no mistake, Baker did not feel that Stefanski was playing to his strengths.

I wouldn’t judge anyone by Browns record. Stefanski is known as an offensive guru. Atlanta will be dangerous

No he is not, he's known as a system coach. He uses a wide zone blocking scheme and play action configurations to try and keep defenses off balance. Honestly, critics complained that his offenses were somewhat stale.

If Stefanski is an offensive guru, then so is Dave Canales.

I guess I've lost my mind then, because I think it's a good hire...for us.

I've done my research on the guy, and I'm not enamored.

At baseline he's better than Morris.

With the new YouTube tv feature I basically "watch" every game.  Albeit with 3 tvs

That is not at all accurate.

Listen guys I’ve done my research. The guy who’s won coach of the year twice and took the Browns to the playoffs who got stuck with the Watson trade because the owner is moron is a bad hire for a team replacing Raheem morris.

time for some game theory. In this tweet I wil… (1/37)

We're about to find out. His offenses, even the ones with Baker were middling at best.
