Re: Our New Head Coach - Dan Quinn
 

I think there are a lot of assumptions being made that the hiring authority actually had a "top option" going into this. I think they had "options", and those options were narrowed down as they had interviews. They themselves may had some expectations going into interviews, that didn't come to fruition.

Bottom line is, from the get go Peters and Harris said they were not looking for offense or defense; they were looking for a leader. Out of the nine coaches they interviewed at least once, it appears to me that they got one of, if not the best, leader of the group - and someone who is very well respected in the league, and someone who has been to the dance.

That's good enough for me, and I am the [U]one[/U] who said "Love it".

Welcome Coach Quinn. Do us proud. HTTR.

That is Ron Rivera.

Re: Our New Head Coach - Dan Quinn
 

To me the process could have been done to perfection based on what they set out to do, I still don't like the hire. Dan Quinn was my least favorite option out of all of the names that popped up. No one knows the process, but we all had preferred end-results we wanted.

It's the definite of "blah" to me. But oh well, it is what it is. Not like I'm switching teams or not watching every game. If I could watch under Snyder and {insert any HC we had here}, I can certainly watch under a Harris/Peters/Quinn combo.

Please pick a young O.C.

Looks like we already have our DC:

Grant Paulsen

The Commanders continue to gut the Cowboys' beloved defensive staff.

The secondary was impressive…the talent seemed really coached up. This is a good move.

Still, Quinn was really disappointing versus running teams and was different when they didn’t play with the lead.

Also, LaFleur ran circles around him and embarrassed him on national tv. It was a thrashing.

Literally the same articles written when Ron was hired

[quote=Chico23231;1358391]Simply because we could have hired him a couple weeks ago and if he was truly top option with other teams still looking for HC, then you hire him then.[/quote]

due dilligence.

my top two were harbaugh and macdonald. Would have liked johnson, but I think the concerns are relevant on his experience/transition to HC.

They interviewed Quinn 3 times, so actions say he was near if not the top guy on their list. He'd also have the largest network to fill out a coaching staff, which may have been part of it.

That said, the last item on his resume is an embarrassing 28-3 loss. Maybe he's a Washington sleeper agent, and that was all part of the plan, along with bringing parsons over.

The Commanders got Dan Quinn. Now they need a top offensive mind.


Agree with Jamf comment… Barry Svrluga does as well. The OC now is more important than Quinn hire.

Re: Our New Head Coach - Dan Quinn
 

The word is Chip Kelly is the favorite to become the OC per Twitter reports anyway

Nah, last item on his resume is getting blown out by the Packers in the 2023 wildcard round. The highlight of his resume is blowing a 28-3 lead in the SB.

Certainly not inspiring after 4 years of Ron - he seems to share the same qualities as Ron. Key difference is Adam Peters is in charge of building the roster. I just hope they have a plan - a certain type of player they're looking for, a certain mindset from everybody from the FO down to the coaches and players. They gotta be on the same wave, this is a problem we've had for years.

I mentioned that yesterday. One of the interview questions was, who is going to be your OC. I hope they told him if you want the job hire someone else. Shit!! They should call Jay Gruden!!

Would you rather have Chip or EB?

EB by a mile !!!!!!! Chip Kelly was the CLOWN that ran his players into the ground with 2 minute offense that was truly OFFENSIVE.. what a damn joke if we do this !!! Yea I'd take Gruden also ! Chip Kelly is one game over .500 at his current college team 35wins34 loss how you think he's gonna do against NFL Defenses.. Snyder is laughing his ass off on his yacht !

Get some help dude, you have a serious case of post Snyder PTSD

Time to look at things through a new lens and yes, cut them some slack until they prove they are doing a shit job.

Oh, boy. Jayden Daniels running the old Oregon spread offense.

Well, they’re splashing around alright. It doesn’t smell right to me. In fact, it reeks of Snyder splash.

They better make deep waves in the Oline department, or that skinny kid is going to get killed back there running for his life. 🫣

Nothing. The rumor going around yesterday and Today is Chip Kelly is Quinn’s choice for OC. We’ll see if that’s what they do.

Chip had two 10-6 seasons with the eagles and they had top 5 offenses those two years. His last year with the eagles and one with Sf sucked be he did have some success.
He did gut the roster and they had some talent.
He wouldn’t be the head guy and would have some oversight.
Chip is a better option than EB.

I’m curious about this. I’d rather have Chip than kubiak.
Quinn and Kelly might complement each other if Quinn can control Kelly.

We would have an aggressive team across the board.
