I want no part of Aaron Glenn as a HC

That's a pretty lofty goal, and it will only happen if you get a relatively young first-time head coach who is successful out of the gate (playoffs in the first or second year). Any first-time head coach is going to be a gamble, and I'm fine with that. If they fail, at least we'll have a high draft pick (like top five). For all the talk of Brady people are forgetting he was in Carolina and did not elevate their QBs. Allen was an all-pro guy before Brady got there. I think a lot of you guys are downplaying the importance of motivating a team and doing more with less. Glenn coached up that defense to secure the number one seed with a bunch of third-string guys despite the last game. Nevertheless, I would rather roll the dice with a new guy, and there is no guarantee when you go in that direction.

Joe Brady absolutely elevated the QB play with Teddy Bridgewater in Carolina. Teddy had a career year there in Joe Brady's first year and so did their RB. It was the second year with Sam Darnold that didn't go well.

Maybe you don't recall, but that year with Teddy, people on this board were complaining that we let him go, but were also happy for him because it was going so well.

And to be fair, we just watched Sam Darnold do the same things the last few games this season under Kevin O'Connell (who we know is a great coach) that Darnold also did under Joe Brady.

IDK if Sean McVay got the idea from Aaron Glenn, but we saw the Lions in the last game of the season disguise their bliztes and we watched Sam Darnold struggle because of it. Then Sean McVay comes in and did the same exact thing the first playoff game, and Sam Darnold struggled.

I haven't watched any of those Carolina games, but it would be worth consideration that perhaps Sam Darnold super struggles against disguised defenses and perhaps that played a role in that Carolina season.
