Saints interviewed Eagles OC Kellen Moore [ 2nd interview completed on Jan 27 in Philly] (14 Viewers)

You do not make a head coaching decision based on being at the Senior Bowl.

Is Mike McCarthy a firey, man's man coach, and I just missed it?

MM is not firey like Campbell but he's much more demonstrative than a Shanahan. I think he's somewhere in the middle.

It seems like the number one thing you hear from players is that they want the coach to be authentic. They see right through the guys that are trying to be something that they aren't. They're used to different personalities going back to Pop Warner.

A lot that I have read on building culture starts here. It isnt how the person is as much as his ability to effectively be authentic and produce culture from there. Too many leaders fail because they are trying to be OTHER good leaders. It is a waste of time to fight against that grain. Align it with who you are and it just goes so much better from there.

But really, has there ever been a HC that said " Naw I don't think my OC or DC is ready to be a HC" Did anyone expect him to say anything else ?

 

[Crusader Saint]

If we are not waiting on Kellen Moore, as talented assistant coaches leave who the new coach may have wanted to keep, then this team is a train wreck.

This is what happens when you fire your HC, his coordinators and assistants go to other teams. New HCs seldom keep more than a guy, possibly two from prior staffs, and they are usually assistants, not coordinators.

Are you really going to be sad to see Joe Woods leave?

Speaking of Joe Woods, is he getting any offer or interviews from other teams?

Haven't heard anything, but he'll pick up a Defensive Back position somewhere I'm sure. I think his days as a DC are probably done.

 

[El Caliente]

Is this guy Mormon?

Could we see more BYU players make their way down to New Orleans?

Great read. Interesting to her how Kafka was commanding the place. That's what you want to hear about coaching prospects.

I’m not a sub, anyway you can give a roundabout sum of what is said on Moore and Rizzi similar to Kafka?

 

[HoustonGold]

To those that like Mike Kafka. Is this the same coaching staff that traded Saquon Barkley for garbage?

I believe that isn't actually allowed on SSF. It's a great site and worth the $ if you can afford it. Even if you can't be sure to watch their free content.

EDIT: Per DaveXA a brief summary is allowed.

This segment is presented by Matt Bowers Autogroup. If you need a car, go see Matt.

They said that Moore was well thought by everyone they talked to at the Senior Bowl. Kafka was running his team very well and other coaches were not. They made a brief case for Rizzi being HC due to his long tenure and connections around the league. Made a much longer case for Kafka in that people think he's a good leader and with X's and O's and game plans. Some small bits about Jahri coaching there and that Jaxson Dart has generated some buzz.

Still, go check them out. They work really hard and have great content and they are independents doing it themselves.

I do not believe that he as the OC was responsible for trading anybody.
