  • According to a report, Daboll is being considered after a “strong”interview. 

  • Another thing that bothers me about McD...

    I can't recall seeing him interact with anyone on the Pat's sideline other than Tom or Bill.

    Well, those are the stars that the TV cameras focus on, and  likely the two people he would spend his time interacting with. He was theOC/play caller, and the QB is after all the guy that relates   the plays called to the rest of the team.  The QB is the conduit from the OC to the offense....so he should be spending most of his time talking to those 2.  Also, I doubt they had a camera on him the whole time.  When he was interacting with others, they likely didn't feel the need to put him on camera.

    And Saleh had a strong  interview  too. Don't  read much  into it.

    Just sharing. Whoever it is, I’m sure will be an upgrade over the last 2 hires

  • I'm more interested in what DC, QB Coach and OC will be hired.   Probably the three most crucial hires.

    Agreed. That's why waiting longer is worrisome.

  • Ideally under our current circumstances?  I'd be cool with Stef, Kubiak as the OC/Asst Hc and Schwartz or Phillips as DC.

    edit: And for the many here that want a HC who is a "leader of men"... I would have a hard time playing for McDaniels and taking him seriously as that.

  • Hmmmm... latest from NFL.com http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000001095822/article/browns-request-interview-with-colts-ed-dodds-for-gm

    If that's the case, would seem to lean towards Saleh.... McDaniels would probably want one of his New England pals as GM.   

    IIRC, if the decision has been made, and the new coach's team is still involved in the playoffs, it can't be announced until after said team is eliminated. The negative about Saleh- assuming the 49ers make the Super Bowl, is we're going to get last choice on assistant coaches. And we know how that played out when the Browns hired Mike Pettine.  🙁

    Your opinion is superfluous.    I suspect that Six Super Bowl rings gives the guy a lot of credibility as a leader with players.....as long as he gets rid of the visor.  That makes him look non - serious, like a kid.

    For about 5 minutes.   Then when he has control of his own team and, god forbid - things go sideways, those rings really won't mean jack shit then, do they?   Credibility as a play caller and schematic mind? Sure.   But on the field, on the sidelines, in the locker room, in OTA's, mini camp, etc etc where you forge your teams identity and players know they trust your vision, leadership, wisdom and guidance?   Completely different story.

    Those 3 rings sure didn't help him from losing control of the Denver locker room, throwing some of his players under the bus and making some of the most obviously questionable personnel choices this side of Mike Holmgren.  

    edit:  That's not even to mention what went down with Indy.   That was bush league shit.

    Why would Schwartz take a lateral move to Coordinate a defense in Cleveland?   I used to agree with your thought about McDaniel; but it looked like he finally reached puberty a year or 2 after his Denver experience.  

    I'm actually more worried about Stefanski's ability to be THE "leader of Men" here. Kubiak already had to bail Stefanski out earlier this year when various important men on the Vikings offense were protesting his leadership of the passing game.

    As long as Stefanski has been with the Vikings, they've seemed reluctant to even give him the QB Coach Title without making him share it with another coach as I'll cut and paste:

    Year Position

    2006 Minnesota Vikings Assistant to the Head Coach

    2007 Minnesota Vikings Assistant to the Head Coach

    2008 Minnesota Vikings Assistant to the Head Coach

    2009 Minnesota Vikings Assistant Quarterbacks Coach / Offensive Quality Control Coach

    2010 Minnesota Vikings Assistant Quarterbacks Coach

    2011 Minnesota Vikings Assistant Quarterbacks Coach

    2012 Minnesota Vikings Assistant Quarterbacks Coach

    2013 Minnesota Vikings Assistant Quarterbacks Coach

    2014 Minnesota Vikings Tight Ends Coach

    2015 Minnesota Vikings Tight Ends Coach

    2016 Minnesota Vikings Running Backs Coach

    2017 Minnesota Vikings Quarterbacks Coach

    2018 Minnesota Vikings Quarterbacks Coach

    2019 Minnesota Vikings Offensive Coordinator - a year the Kubiak intervention was very necessary

    Well, you are just speculating....making an ass of yourself by assuming.  Essentially....anything McD did  with what you describe up there BB did before him and better/worse. 

    BB had some SB rings as DC of the NYG.   BB clearly threw Bernie under the bus...and the whole team by cutting him and putting in Todd Phucking Phicox. There has been no worse personell choice in Browns history than that. Hell, at least Tim Tebow won a playoff game for McD.   And he BB lost  the locker room basically 2 years running.    And the Indy thing with McD:   Remember  BBs one day stint as HC of the NYJ.....that was some even bigger bush league shit. 

    So, obviously, per the BB example, the things you gripe about don't mean shit, if he can come in here and win.   And, of course, it will help if he has a great QB. (as it would help any coach who ever donned a headset)

    If it is a package deal with he and one of his John Carroll buddies as GM/DPP....he could have that...or at least a huge input into it.

    My thoughts exactly on McDaniels.

    Im kind of leaning toward Saleh or Stefanski.

    And i want Phillips as the DC.

    Very little evidence and history to back this up.  Especially if McD is "picking" the GM.   He had say in Denver, BB has the say the NE.  Whom do you think he molds himself after?

    BB has nothing to do with this conversation.   When you want to converse like an adult, get at me.     BB isn't the "leader" in that locker room - that would be Brady.  Which is exactly why that relationship works the way it does.   Tom is the fiery leader for his man, BB is the mind.

    Saleh is another interesting name.  I wonder who he would bring from SF?  I would love a Shanny type mind to help craft this offense.  Between my calls for more 12 personnel, under center work and using the sprint outs, waggles, boots...     Would be a great

    Actually....you make my case better than I did.  BB is in this conversation because: A.  McD. is a BB protoge, and what he learned as a football coach came much from him.   B. Some of what McD has gone through perfectly parallels some of what BB went through...as I detailed, so they each have similar experiences   and C. The BB/Brady relationship as you describe is essentially, precisely what we would want here with the McD./Baker relationship. Another perfect parallel.  We would want McD to be the mind and Baker to be the fiery leader.
