Thread: Educate me on the New HC options. Who do we want and why?

Regardless of who is coach, I would like to see Paton encourage him to hire a guy on the opposite side of his discipline to be Asst. to HC Offense/Defense. If it’s Quinn, then he hires his bright young OC, but also a Asst. HC-Offense that helps with creative game plans, etc, but the OC calls the plays.

If it’s Hackett, he does the same, but on the defense. I believe this approach will free the HC up to deal with big issue things, and will have a guy to hold the “other side” accountable. Also, I think it’s OK for that guy to be a bit of an ******* like Alex Gibbs was for Shanny.

I just want the HC to be competent enough to handle clock management (for either side of the ball) and make reasonable challenges from time to time.

I believe, at least it used to be- you couldn’t just steal somebody else’s dc or OC without making them an assistant head coach. It couldn’t be a lateral move is what I’m saying

My takeaway is that apparently you need good players in addition to good coaches.

Yes, it drives me crazy that fans, and even some pundits think that because a unit is ranked low, then it automatically must be because the coach sucks. I remember either Polumbus or Stink saying that Aaron Glenn's #31 ranked defense on the Lions overachieved this year when you take into account the scrubs that he had playing from week to week. Fans don't care, but other coaches do.

Tom Brady is older than any of the head coaches he’ll be facing in the NFC...

I think it comes down to when would you stop doing the same thing that has not been working for you?
Time to break the mold and think out of the box. Choosing a coach is not the answer, putting together the right team is...

Y'all thought the Drew Lock Wars of 2021 were bad, just wait for the Dan Quinn Wars of 2022!

If what I just posted comes true it wont matter who the HC is. Quinny will be fine.
