Potential GM/HC/Coaches Thread

[sdskinsfan2001]

ESPN has an interesting article about the B.C. head coach leaving to become the Packers DC. The gist was college football is turning into such a joke that HC's are willing to take "lesser" positions at bigger schools or the NFL. Could possibly open up a lot more OC candidates than are currently on the radar.

I'm now officially like Jamf but instead of Sam being the target it's the entire front office and owner.. Clowns 🤡 hell even Carolina got their coach with their crap owner .. this is beyond bad !! Not one of us should cut them any slack !! I have No faith they are gonna get the coach right or the draft or free agents .. or ever change the suck ass name or build a decent stadium .. if you do then you got your rose colored glasses on !! Wanna bet they spin this that Johnson or Macdonald were never the choice ? I sure hope they don't think we are that stupid .. They need to man up admit they shit the bed !

I feel like collectively as a group there are a lot of people worked up because the consensus #1 pick for HC threw a curveball and cancelled the date while we were driving over to pick them up. "Why don't he want me man?!"

The reality is Ben Johnson was and is not the last great potential HC available in the NFL. Is it a disadvantage to be the last team without a HC? Sure, but if you trust in our GM - the consensus #1 next great GM pick in the NFL - then you trust that he can do his job and work the pool of available candidates to find a leader he wants to build around for the next 5+ years. If that's Quinn, so be it. Hopefully he's a little bit older and a little bit wiser from his first time as a HC. If it's Weaver or somebody under the radar, I'm fine with it too. I trust the guy/s running the show because their last name doesn't rhyme with rider.

For the record I don't buy the "I want to win a title" narrative in Detroit either. I think either he lacks confidence or the vibe wasn't right with our staff. Guy has done this 2 years in a row - he's the one who backs out. I don't want him if he's not the right guy for the job.

Matt Miller tweet:

Talked to a college coach this week who told me “life in the NFL is so much better than college now. We’re all trying to get to the league.”

Sounds like Johnson’s asking price of $15m was just him throwing out an absurd number he knew nobody would actually give him. It’s clear he doesn’t want to be a HC right now or just isn’t ready. Either way I think it’s safe to assume Peters knew he was far from a sure thing. The echo chamber of social media isn’t reality. At some point I bet we’ll get a detailed story as to what went down behind the scenes.

Glenn,Weaver,Quinn,EB, so there is the choices ..EB could have been named head coach weeks ago so it obvious he wasn't top dog . Same with Quinn. So it's down to Glenn and Weaver ! I do not recall anyone on this forum wanting either as our first choice for head coach . So I'm I really wrong to say this was botched or are we gonna give the new guys a pass on this ? At this point there is not a clear number one with this group
Of names .. I guess Maybe Glenn ,Weaver ,Quinn,EB in that order ?? If I said that was the choices 2 weeks ago you guys would have laughed.. so yea I'm pissed at this

Nothing was “botched”. Maybe things simply didn’t go our way, but the notion that we screwed something up is strange.

When I said anyone we hire will be an improvement I wasn’t referring to EB. I don’t seriously consider him an option to be the next HC.

I don't think it's that important who anyone on this forum wanted as their first choice for head coach. Honestly, I could care less. The polls and the discussions are fun, sure. Obviously most wanted the shiny new toy in BJ because of what he has seemingly done with the Detroit offense and Goff. But no one on here knows who these dudes really are or what they are capable of. The new owners didn't even know who these dudes really were until they interviewed them. They have seen their body of work, and they have seen the results they have been a part of, and they know what they have heard... but there's a reason they decided to interview 8-9 dudes, and some of them twice. They are trying to get to know them so they can hire the right man for the job. I think so far at least five of them aren't the right man for the job. There's still three in play. Who's to say they are the top three, bottom three, or what? You and I don't know. I just don't get understand the whole sky is falling perspective.

So it's at least a little important? You care somewhat, it's not a level 0.

Ok, you got me. It's a .005. That's how much I care about who anyone on this forum wanted as their first choice for head coach.

The other 99.995% goes to the process the new ownership group and GM have put together, and who they ultimately think is the right man for the job.

No one on the interwebs will know the 100% truth for quite some time (if ever). But I have a hard time believing this is how Harris/Peters was hoping this process would play out.

I guess some team has to be last to have a HC. But, I hope this process doesn't get extended more than a couple more days.

So anyone we hire will be an improvement?? ok how about EB ?? Go back and read the threads about him being the problem all year and tell me he would make a good HC .so let's eliminate him .. it can only be Glenn or Weaver and they were Not on anyone's radar a few weeks ago . I just can't believe this new group didn't have some sort of clue that Johnson was not the guy ( for whatever reason) I was never a fan of his anyways and it just bothers me this happened.. My bet is Harris and company are furious at what he did and now damage control is in effect .. I'm more mad at them letting that "little Johnson" play them . F him and the lions

I don't think there is any doubt they were blindsided by Campbell's decision, I do believe he was their first choice and they are pissed. But if a guy consults with his wife and decides to stay, for now, where he is happy and has a chance to win a ring or if a coach goes to Seattle and sees their roster, facility and stadium and choses that over the mess here in Ashburn and Raljon I can't put that on the Commanders organization.

I get that they are falling behind with regard to filing out the staff. But at this point they are the only team standing so why rush to make the fans feel better?

Only franchise without a HC and people think this is part of the plan? I am just not seeing it. I think the top target was missed and there was an unexpected wrinkle somewhere in the process that has caused a delay in the hiring.
