Cujo Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 It's either Dan Quinn or Nathaniel Hackett to Denver. Should it be Nathaniel Hackett (per some guy with a checkmark's report) it enhances the chance of Karron Rodgers and Devonte Adams joining the Broncos next season.

There's a worse QB in Miami, but there's better ownership, right? he can only be better than Urban Meyer. He's a former QB, so he could be beneficial to Trevor Lawrence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrumptious Ham Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Byron is only the second black head coach currently in the NFL. 70% of players in the NFL are black. Only 6% of head coaches are. Yikes. Go Lord Byron. I hope you show out. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CS85 Posted January 26, 2022 Author Share Posted January 26, 2022 19 hours ago, LMU said: Because the KC to Chicago pipeline did so well with Nagy. Sigh. So I'll play devil's advocate a bit here about Poles, Pace, and Nagy. Ryan Pace and Ryan Poles are almost obnoxiously similar in some ways: They both played offensive line Their initials are obviously Ryan P Pace was 37 upon his hiring, Poles 36 Both were considered wunderkind hires Both impressed the old creaky men that the McCaskeys brought in for consultation (Accorsi and Polian respectively) Both are seemingly very closed-off people who treat football operations like it's the Bin Laden raid But there's some differences that are appealing: Pace spent over a decade under Mickey Loomis and Sean Payton in New Orleans; Poles has been in Kansas City for a similar duration but has worked for and with Brett Veach, Scott Pioli, Andy Reid, Chris Ballard, and John Dorsey. He brings in a wider range of experiences and styles that hopefully will serve him well. Unlike Pace, Poles actually played at the NFL level. It wasn't a significant tenure by any means, but he's been an UDFA and knows the ropes personally a little more than Pace ever did. Pace took the job with conditions in 2015, namely the primary one being that he had to try like hell to hire John Fox. It was one of those "turbulent priest" situations that forced a football arranged marriage in classic Bears fashion. Allegedly Poles told Bears ownership that he was only taking the job if he had complete control of the head coaching hire, or else he'd get on his scheduled flight to Minnesota. He was told it was his show. I don't know how true that is, but it seems to have gotten circulated by fairly reputable names. As far as Nagy goes, Nagy was a hot candidate at the time of his hire. Once the Bears got him there was a ton of applause from those around the league, with Reid himself saying Nagy was likely to be the most successful of anyone who's ever worked for him. Nagy had one great season before the NFL figured him out, and after that he simply copied whatever Andy Reid was running week-to-week, held abysmal walkthroughs and practices, and never fully grasped the obsessive detail-oriented nature of what it means to be an NFL head coach. If Poles hires Chiefs QB coach Mike Kafka to be the next head coach of the Bears, then there's definitely going to be more twilight zone crap happening, but we'll see. I'm trying to keep an open mind. Quote "You are nothing more than a small cancer on this message board.

Trevor Lawrence also sees Leftwich working with the Peyton Manning Coaches crew of Tom Moore and Clyde Christensen and is probably thinking "can Coach Leftwich bring those two with him as well?" It's also not a done deal as they reportedly interviewed Vic Fangio, who knows Trent Baalke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had no idea Adrian Wilson had even moved into a front-office role...now he could possibly become a team's GM? Heck yeah! Dude always was one of my favorite players to watch. (And side note: what the RB position is to Tennessee, DB may as well be to Arizona, when you factor in Pat Tillman, Aeneas Williams--who's probably the single most underrated NFL player ever on earth--the aforementioned Wilson, and for the time they was there, Patrick Peterson and the Honey Badger.)

I don't think it's necessarily about defensive scheme that made Eberflus appeal to Poles and the Bears. The discipline and accountability aspects, along with the perceived leadership skills are what sealed the deal. I don't know if Eberflus is going to be any good, if the Bears are on the up and up, but it's new people at least, so we'll see. Trying to maintain cautious optimism.

Plus, Eberflus could be to Fields what Sean McDermott is to Josh Allen. He most likely had a plan to make Fields an elite level NFL QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems ridiculous that they keep going with first-time NFL head coaches, while devout christian Doug Pederson has a Super Bowl ring and didn't get a second interview with them. Don't get me wrong - I'm not saying Doug Pederson is a sure thing, but wouldn't it be a better sell to your fan base that you have a guy running the show that's actually had a track record of success (3 playoff appearances, 4 playoff wins, a Super Bowl championship, in just 5 seasons)? I don't know anything about Leftwich, but if there was ever a team that needed to make the safe decision and go with someone with a strong resume, it's the Jags. EDIT: apparently Pederson hates cursing and making dirty jokes, yet so desperately wanted to be one of the boys. While he avoided making dirty jokes, he sure enjoyed some innuendos. I learnt today that the reporter that asked the question phrased it on purpose because he knew it would break Pederson.
