All of these teams are looking for offense plus the youth connection to McVay/Shanahan/LaFleur.I think most teams are looking for bright young offensive minds. The last four teams remaining have offense-oriented guys at the helm (Shanahan, McVay, Reid, Taylor). That hurts greybeard candidates like Quinn.
This definitely helps McCarthy.
I am a little surprised he elected to withdraw. But then again, when your choices are New York or Chicago, I don't blame him.
He might also be at a disadvantage to teams that are looking for offensive-minded coaches.
Gives him another year to prove it and then also assemble a potential staff that would be attractive to other teams.
It also puts some pressure on him to continue to field a dominant defense if he intends to be a head coach.
I really was not looking forward to the DC search at all. It would have really made Fat Mike a real lame duck.No Zimmer. That makes me happy.
You know that isn't happening. Yeah, we wish we were more consistent offensively. But we did move the ball this year and put a lot of points on the board. Fix the running game, and we'll see a big fucking improvement.Now get fucking rid of Moore and let's try to make another run next year.
Thanks DFDCYou know that isn't happening.
Nope, it is not happening.You know that isn't happening. Yeah, we wish we were more consistent offensively. But we did move the ball this year and put a lot of points on the board. Fix the running game, and we'll see a big fucking improvement.
I can see McCarthy getting more involved with the offense, but firing Moore after this year is just not happening. The best you could hope for was that he'd get hired away as a HC. And that's not happening, either.
His points against ranked the defense very highly. Much more important that yards in my opinion.Good. Lets get him some talent and get higher than 19.
I'd be interesting to know who would Payton like as his DC, he had quite a few and very different ones in NO IIRC...Before I found out about the Denver stuff I always thought it was a bit of a long shot that he'd leave, his relationship with Paton there changed my mind, but once they went with Hackett (Rodgers) I knew there was a really good chance he'd be back.
Regardless of all the Payton stuff this is definitely a win, I still think it's likely that McCarthy is gone after next year, but knowing silver-tongued Jerry I bet he'd be able to talk Quinn into staying on as one of the highest paid (the highest paid?) DC's in the league alongside Payton unless he gets a slam dunk HC opportunity next year.
Yep, stay the fuck outta Quinn's way and maybe teach Kellen how to be a coach.Nope, it is not happening.
But it is now time for Fat Mike to impose his mark on the offense versus giving Moore the autonomy he has now.
