I'm excited about the Panthers hire. tepper finally realized he sucks at hiring and hired a group with a good track record to help him. I know some Panthers fan sites were complaining they hired too quickly (whatever that means) but I view it as the Panthers picked someone that checked the boxes, comes with a great background and honestly was the best option (they were never going to get Jim h and I think tepper was smart enough to know he couldn't control bill b)

I really like the Seattle move and understand the Pete Carroll firing/departure. The team is going to need a new identity as it's building up after the mini rebuild post Wilson trade. Carrol is 72 and probably going to retire anyways in the next 3-4 years anyways which would be right in the middle of a long term team identity change. With the team potentially drafting a new QB in the next 1-2 years it makes a lot more sense to start the coaching change now while you're in that drafting building process, instead of in 2-3 years when you just got your new assets and are developing them. It wouldn't make sense to draft guys Pete wants on his defense, then hand it over to someone else who then has to make use of a different group of assets than they're used to/want to use. I'm sad to see the way it ended, I'm a big Seahawks fan, love Pete Carroll, and am a fan of defenses so like his style as well. But I can't say that I'm not excited for this move.

To not hide any bias, I say all of this as a Commanders fan. Harbaugh: Jim is basically at the top of the “hot/crazy” scale. He will bring them to relevancy. But he will act fucking batshit crazy while doing it. And he may not elect to stay there long. Morris: I think he will do good things for the Falcons. He is well liked by pretty much every player he’s ever encountered. I think Tampa was a no win situation for him. He was WAAAYYYYY too young and inexperienced and those teams were not set up well. I think he’s had some time to mature and he should do some good in Atlanta. Canales: Im not feeling this one. I don’t think he’s ready to be a head coach. I think this is Tepper knowing he can’t do better. And honestly I think this is the only place he would have gotten a job. Speaking of Tepper. It doesn’t matter who coaches that team; so long as he’s owner they’re doomed. Take it as someone who suffered under Snyder. Canales might breathe some life into Young. But I don’t see that team going anywhere. McDonald: I can see the logic just because he’s as energetic as Carrol was, but you’re going the opposite direction in age. I think he’s gonna love their home field advantage. Quinn: You’re not gonna like my response to this, and I might sound like a homer, but I’ve warmed up to him. Admittedly this is an advantage of following the team. None of the main guys reporting for the team were actually pushing the “Johnson -> Washington” line. None. Only National media people (except for Shefter which should say something). Johnson was A top candidate. But not THE candidate. He, Quinn, McDonald, Glenn, and Weaver were all really well liked. Quinn apparently annihilated the interviews. While Johnson withdrew and McDonald went to Seattle, they were actually quite fine with this. I know that’s hard to imagine. But I can kinda understand why. 1. You might not want to pair a first time head coach with a first time GM and a first time owner. That has all the makings for stuff to blow up. Somebody in the room needs experience. 2. Quinn is not Rivera. Rivera immediately jumped from Carolina to Washington and did not remotely reflect on why he failed at the end in Carolina and just hired mostly people that worked on the same staff in Carolina that failed. The same actions led to the same outcome. Quinn spent three years in Dallas re-establishing his career. He took an absolutely crap Dallas defense and made it top 5 three years straight and led the NFL in takeaways each season. Since we hired him, he’s put together a pretty overall great and diverse staff. Which was a criticism a lot of our fans had about hiring McDonald; how would he do hiring a staff when he’s only ever worked for the Ravens? Rivera also had final say on all player personnel decisions. Quinn had some of that in Atlanta and failed too. Here he will not have that power; it all goes to Adams Peters. I’m sure as a Pats fan, you are aware of how the “Coach is the GM” model doesn’t really work particularly well. Belichick used to be the exception, but towards the end of his time it became clear that he wasn’t particularly good at being a GM; Brady just covered a lot of that up. 3. Until his final year, Quinn was overall really successful in Atlanta. He was not the only reason the Falcons blew that lead. Arguably the biggest culprit for that debacle has managed to take the 49ers to the Super Bowl twice in the last five years. Even after Shanahan left, they still made the playoffs the following year. It’s just unfortunate he never had a great replacement for Shanahan long term and that’s what really did him in especially as his defense started to regress. I’m giving him a chance. He could bomb; but I like what I see so far.

This year, a lot of Graham’s guys left NY and the Giants defense sucked for the most part.

The offense severely stepped back from the previous year the team had. The defense was the same crappy defense it had been and when trying something new he refused to give up parts of his scheme so melded it with the new things. Players started checking out and making business decisions trying to avoid hitting, which is a first ive seen under pete so the time to leave was close. Tbh i also checked out half way through the season because there was a long trend through the whole year where it was clear things werent changing and the results were predictable so watching was a of a waste of time. very excited for the new higher and the hawks swinging for the fences, i think they’ve come at it from a very smart standpoint and cant wait.

They won’t win their division. No coach can bring this team to a division title rn. They won’t make the playoffs. They won’t have a top 10 defense. But they won’t have a bottom 10 defense either. They’ll be somewhere in the middle. They won’t be having top 5 picks every year. They’ll pick somewhere between 7-15 every year. (Barring trades)

I know he's 54 but the guy has never had a chance at it even but he coached Patrick Mahomes to 3 Super Bowl appearances and two MVP's. I can't believe he got completely overlooked for that job.

Even if I thought a team was a good fit for him, he's too used to being the main man behind the curtain. A team would have to be comfortable handing him full control.

@voxelation6 ай бұрын
I think that the Jerod Mayo process was better than you think. The reason why Mayo was the written successor to Belichick was because he had other opportunities that he turned down because the Patriots promised him that he'd be the next head coach. If Mayo didn't have that in his contract, he'd already have been gone. The Patriots liked Mayo well enough to put that succession plan into writing. Following through on that was the smart thing to do. All sorts of questions about the stability of the Patriots without Belichick would be swirling around them if it ever got out that Mayo was the written successor and they went with someone else. The Patriots were planning for a future without Belichick, it just came sooner than everyone expected.

MacDonald makes even more sense when you look at what his defenses did vs coaches from the Shanahan and McVay coaching trees. Vs Shanahan tree: dominated the 49ers, Dolphins, and Texans (twice) just this season. Vs McVay tree: beat Brandon Staley (lol), beat McVay but that was a down game for the defense so McVay wins that or its at least a tie between them and then vs Zac Taylor, MacDonald showed he can slow down a great QB like Joe Burrow. In 4 games (not counting the game where Burrow left with his wrist injury this past season), Burrow averaged just 215 yards passing and 1 TD per game, a purely average QB stat-wise in those games. It hurt seeing him leave cause I almost wanted the Ravens to fire Harbaugh due to his incompetence in the AFCCG and make MacDonald the HC but its a great hire imo.

I really don’t fault Seattle for jumping for another coach at this point though… there’s a strange sense that the division rivals have gotten a read on Pete Carroll, but the team had just enough talent to stay relevant in playoff discussions. But I couldn’t shake off that sinking feeling that starts to hold where both the team and the fans start to get comfortable with “just over .500” seasons and sitting on the cusp of playoffs every year. But the amount of times Seattle struggled against bad teams-just didn’t hit right and I could see why the owner felt the need for a new head coach. I didn’t like that Pete Carroll was ousted, but I also knew that refinding success might take some bitter medicine.

While true, the point stands that having your top options be literally the two most sought after candidates in the cycle was dumb-especially if you're only going to excessively (at least publicly) court one, making clear the other is the backup. You don't do that when his phone is ringing off the hook too. I gotta say, it's a fumble that was unbecoming of all the hype Peters had as a GM hire.

Something you ignored about the titans is that they are looking to build around Will Levis who has shown amazing potential as QB1 after Tannehill was injured last season. What kept levis from being successful last season was directly solved by the coaching hires. Levis showed great tenacity and arm strength with the rookie issue of having to learn how an NFL defense plays. Now he has a head coach who has worked with a ton of QBs and knows how to improve their skill set. Offensive line was without a doubt the biggest let down for levis and the titans franchise last season. The offseason moves, drafts, and now hiring of Bill Callahan (maybe the best o-line coach in history) will strengthen the protection to allow levis more than 0.75 seconds in the pocket

Possibly the most exciting part of the Mike MacDonald hiring is the fact that he was able to secure Ryan Grubb as their offensive coordinator.

With that being said, I'm really curious to see how Waldron does in Chicago. My guess is that he's a better coordinator than he was able to show in Seattle, but maybe I'm wrong and Carroll wasn't the problem.
