Our New Head Coach - Dan Quinn
Quote:
Rik, what did we handle wrong? Were we supposed to hold BJ’s wife ransom until he signed? Seriously I understand the disappointment in how things unfolded, but not the criticism of how anything was handled. Your upset because Peters didn’t just say “aww hell lets just ignore everyone and go get Quinn because he will take the job”. That’s crazy. You have your list and you start at the top. Again to be upset at the results is understandable but to be upset with the process is not. By your logic you just take the fat chick without trying for the hot chick first? Lol. |

Re: Our New Head Coach - Dan Quinn
If you paid attention to people in the know Quinn was being highly praised right from the jump. Perhaps everyone was blinded by the Ben Johnson talk but if you read the tea leaves Quinn was very much in play all along.
Interesting connection here… @reshmanuel One thing about Dan Quinn. He was hired in Atlanta by Thomas Dimitroff. Dimitroff and #Commanders GM Adam Peters spent several years together in New England as scouts |

Re: Our New Head Coach - Dan Quinn
About as mediocre of a hire as you can get.
Settling for a HC is not something I'm happy with. Will he be better than Rivera, yes. Is he dependent on coordinators? Yes. We will be only as good as his OC. |

Re: Our New Head Coach - Dan Quinn
This would have been the case with any coach that gets hired. Again, you don't have to be happy that "your guy" didn't get it, but this fake outrage is ridiculous.

Re: Our New Head Coach - Dan Quinn
Well I won't hide my disappointment, he was my 3rd choice. But I'm not in a panic as so any fans are. He had HC experience and that counts a lot, he was a few bad play calls from being a Super Bowl winning head coach.

Re: Our New Head Coach - Dan Quinn
Man, didn't know there were so many people that can read Adam Peters' mind or were in the room when the search group made their decision.

Our New Head Coach - Dan Quinn
Quote:
Ruh, this wasn’t talk from this forum everyone involved in any way with the NFL said they wanted BJ. BJ turned us down. I don’t think it is going out on a limb to say we “settled”. Im not going to judge anything until Quinn has his time BUT i am not going to fool myself into believing this was the play all along. |

A lot of people in the NFL put Johnson as the favorite for every team, so are you saying that every team that hired someone else settled for their coach?

I am simply saying that if I had to wager whether Peters wanted BJ or Quinn and I had a chance to actually ask him I know where Id put my money. Again I am not irate or in meltdown mode as reddit apparently is as per Rave, I am willing to give Quinn a chance. I am happy we have a GM in charge of personnel first and foremost and let’s see how Quinn fills out his staff. We got 9 picks , 6 of which are top 100 and a boatload of cap space. I am more amped than I have been in years. |
