Right. Correct in all. But what are we going to do with that exactly? Have a good defense and no franchise QB so our odds at deep playoff runs are extremely unlikely? Or are you expecting a defensive head coach to accurately assess QB talent, groom that QB into a successful franchise QB which has only happened like once or twice in the NFL over the past 10 years when compared to offensive head coaches who have done it closer to a dozen times in the same duration?

I'm struggling to understand exactly what we're shooting for here. Just to be competitive during the season? Have we reached that level of desperation?

We are reaching that level of desperation. But what’s missing in this conversation is can any of the coordinator candidates lead a large group of men, and be the face of the franchise, having to deal with the media, fan pressure, and ownership. It takes much larger shoulders to handle the HC job compared to a coordinator position.

So the solution, because you’re right about an offensive minded coach having a better winning record, is that you hire an offensive minded HC that has already proven that he can handle the job of HC. And that he can not only handle the HC but win at a slightly better clip than our ALL TIME greatest HC in Sean Payton. Mike Mcarthy is a slam dunk hire if I’ve ever seen one.
