This is why I don't want Dan Quinn going anywhere. He knows how to use a weapon like Parsons. Parsons would be great at about any position you stick him in but the way Quinn uses Parsons is brilliant and innovative at times. I don't want to lose that by getting some vanilla defensive coordinator.

Plus what Quinn has done with our corners is brilliant too. Diggs is a natural play maker but Quinn has turned him into an absolute weapon on defense.

It'd surprise me, I get the angle you're selling but Meyer was clearly a byproduct of Khan wanting to be flashy and aggressive, it'd shock me if he swung to the completely opposite side of the pendulum and went with a low-key, professional, "do your job" type.

Someone like Leftwich makes way more sense, he has the flash (Brady/Super Bowl/former Jaguar player) but also the substance you refer to in terms of being highly respected in NFL circles. Not to mention everything they do will be to maximize Lawrence and hiring someone like Leftwich just makes way more sense in that regard than someone like Quinn.

The three names I've seen mentioned for the Jacksonville job are Leftwich, Doug Pederson, Jim Caldwell. I haven't seen Quinn mentioned yet. I don't know if Pederson and Caldwell are flashy, but they check the experience box.

Mostly, though, what got me started on this topic was the idea that Jacksonville is somehow an undesirable job. I don't think it is. You've got a young QB on the roster who has more promise than what's available in the 2022 draft, very good draft picks, etc. It isn't a prestige franchise, clearly, but it has some pieces and promise. I think it'd be attractive to head coaching candidates.

Yeah, and the thing with Jacksonville is that just about anything right now would be an improvement. So you have to imagine whoever takes that job will be given a bit of a runway to turn things around. I'd certainly prefer that job if I was a coach to say the New York Giants who I think are drifting further and further away from the rebuild they need.

The Jags are a decent enough spot considering they have a possible franchise QB. In terms of the names you mentioned, the common thread is that they're all offense-minded/QB guru types.

I'd be absolutely shocked if they went with a defensive guy at HC.
 
Here would be an interesting name too that probably won't get buzz. But what about Greg Roman. I actually think the guy is a whiz with athletic QBs. Lawrence is that plus some. I imagine he could scheme up some impressive stuff for a guy like that.

I don't get the Leftwhich love. He is basically just riding the coattails of Brady in my opinion. I don't think his offense will be much away from Brady. What they did in 2019 before Brady wasn't impressive to me.

I feel the same way.

It reminds me of all those coaches got HC jobs just because they Peyton Manning and Tom Brady's OCs. If I'm not mistaken, every single one of them failed once they were separated from Brady and Manning.
 
They're also interviewing both TB coordinators, Eberflus and Doug Pederson, with apparently more to come.

Seems to me like they're trying to get the playoff team coordinators out of the way now before the playoffs before narrowing the list.

Those asshole motherfuckers.

Leave us alone!!

Turning around a historically dead-end outfit like the Jags with a franchise QB already in place is exactly the kind of challenge Quinn would take on too.

FUCK

They've requested to interview like 8 coordinators across the league, plus Pedersen, keep it together.

I just know there's no better proven candidate than Quinn available.

He can't afford to gamble that next year will be a net improvement from this year and his star will be shining as brightly as it surely is right now. He has to take a HC position, if offered.

This year, he's a proven Superbowl HC who clearly turned around the worst defense into one of the very best.

I know in my head he's gone-- if it's not the fucking Jags, it will be someone else who snags him-- but my heart is having trouble letting go.

Moore I think isn't going anywhere, frankly.
