Dear Chud, look at Mike Martz before taking a promotion...

I think there is a better than average chance that Chud does not jump at the first chance he gets to be a head coach. It depends on exactly what his career goals are but the smart play is to stay here as the OC and keep building a resume (assuming the wheels don't fall off in the off season). The longer he keeps it up here the better his paycheck will be when he finally ends up somewhere as a HC - bonus that he'll have that much more experience to draw on.

I'm sure he'll interview but I'm counting on him being back next year.

Have to strike while the iron is hot.

Our offense could regress next year and boom, his future as a HC could be ruined. Not saying that could happen but it has before. See Rahem Morris last year.

I would hate to see him leave but I completely understand if he takes another job as HC.

Wait for it.

It is what it is.

We still haven't seen Chud's full playbook. We've seen a lot of trick plays and shotgun formation, but I feel we haven't gotten to the meat of this offense. Chud is not going to let Cam go undeveloped in this area. I believe he stays so Cam can really explode, and boost his own HC credentials.

You are not ready to be a head coach. Spend a few more years here as our OC then think about it. Do it now and screw up, and you won't get another chance for a long while. Ask Mike Martz.

Love,

Zod

Not familiar with MM, so I wiki him....doesn't sound terrible....

As a head coach in the NFL Martz was 56-36 in 5⅓ seasons as the St. Louis Rams head coach. He won two division titles, had four playoff berths including a NFC championship and a trip to Super Bowl XXXVI.

    • As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it. 
    • If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
