What if they interview Brady and his condition for taking the job is canning Loomis? (1 Viewer)

This was a question that popped into my head as I was watching today's podcasts.

We've already seen this happen a couple of times in this cycle.

It's clear that Brady is the guy they're waiting on. If he were their guy, they could have hired McCarthy a week ago.

What if Brady wants the job, but doesn't want Loomis?

Then he (Brady) will be out too.

Brady has already said he doesn't have to jump at whatever job he's given. He'll just go back to being OC with Josh Allen. I would imagine he already knows Loomis isn't leaving and would just not interview if that's what he wanted.

No other team wants Joe Brady. He's not in a position to be making such demands.

For our sake, I hope he does, because I don't think he's HC material in the slightest.

Might as well hire Kubiak as HC cause Brady isn't it. Josh Allen is IT over there.

Who's driving the bus?

What if Brady actually likes Loomis? I mean, Loomis did give him his first job in the NFL.

From what I have read, other than the Jags fiasco, this scenario has played out one time in the past few years. I think Kyle Shannhan was the only time a first time coach was afforded the opportunity to pick his own GM. And I think that’s for a reason.

To allow a first time HC to make that call, sets that person up as the ultimate decision maker on virtually everything. The owner gives away his/her authority to an unproven commodity and basically puts the direction of the franchise in a single person. You better feel 100% confident you have the next Super Bowl winning coach in your building because you gave away a lot of your authority.

Joe Brady might be a fine coach who fixes this organization, and ML might really need to wind down his career as a GM but that’s a hard pass from me.

The thing that scares me about Brady is the success he's had is when he's been given a loaded roster. When he didn't have one, Carolina, it didn't go well. If we pick him I will pull for him to do well, but I just not sure he's ready to be a HC. I hope I'm wrong if we go that route. I also believe if McCarthy gets the job, Carr stays. If Brady gets it, Carr is gone. Just my 2 cents that doesn't mean didley.

Ask Aaron Glenn

Nobody makes this "demand" as brazenly as it gets reported.

Any statements made about needing a change at GM in order to take the HC job are only going to be made when you know the answer already.

What if MY condition for hiring ANYBODY is canning Loomis?

Man #1: "If you hire me for this job, the first thing I'm going to do is fire you."

Man #2: "Ew, looks like the position has already been filled. I'm sorry."
