Opinion The chance to get a top tier HC has come and gone

[Jd101]

I’d say Vrabel was the other top tier.

Look, the job is one of only thirty two in the world, for that reason it’s still a good one imo. Now, having said that it is at the bottom of those thirty two, and folks denying that just can’t take those black and gold glasses off. Nothing wrong with that imo. Fan how ya want.

Lol. Ben Johnson is 0-0 as a head coach. Vrabel was released by the titans and no other team picked him up last year. We can pick a name out of a hat and get a head coach just as successful

Vrabel did pretty well in Tennessee and was not given a fair shake imo.

No clue what Johnson will be and I’ve never stumped for him.

With most it is a crapshoot, I haven’t argued that it’s not.

I will say this - credit to the FO for not tipping their hand.

I think they would have hired Glenn but that didn’t work out.

I’ve learned that MM’s people are actively lobbying for this job through every channel imaginable.

That makes me think he might not exactly be the lock I thought he was. They’re definitely going to give a full look to the guys still playing Kingsbury , Moore and Brady.

That’s encouraging

I believe McCarthy, Moore, Kingsbury and Brady is a nice pool to choose from. All of them have warts, but there aren't many perfect candidates. I like McCarthy. His coaching record is close to that of Andy Reid when he left Philadelphia. It's virtually the same as Sean's as of today. I don't think Mickey can afford to get this wrong. McCarthy provides a proven track record thats hard to dismiss for the sake of chasing anyone else in the pool. Can you imagine if he passed on McCarthy and 2 years from now found himself in the same position he is today? If McCarthy doesn't work out, no one can say he took an unnecessary gamble.

I do think it is a much better pool of candidates than 2022.

The only two I have doubts about are Kafka/Weaver but I personally know little about them except the former was a QB in college at I think northwestern when I first started watching CFB in the mid 00s.

I like the younger guys more but I’d be perfectly “whelmed” with McCarthy.

 

[DSnfla]

Right now my choices are in order, McCarthy, Kingsbury, Moore , Brady. I don't know enough about Weaver and Kafka to rank them
Despite all my headbutting with all the Bradites I do think he may one day be a good HC but I don't think he has the experience and he does not strike me as a leader of men. I want to see Brady without an elite top 4 QB. I see him more likely to crash and burn in his 1st HC job

Liam Cohen literally just turned down the Jags.

???
I thought he just signed as their head coach.

That was two days ago. He turned them down, then they fired their GM and something shady went down where Coen had a secret 2nd meeting with the Jags (a meeting that would have violated the new OC deal terms he had just agreed to), and now supposedly he’s going to Jax, but even that’s not OFFICIAL official as he hasn’t signed the deal yet.
