Keim: It's hard to say. Many in the league anticipated Washington hiring Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson. Although he was a favored target of at least some in the Commanders' search, that wasn't a unanimous opinion, one source said. When Washington hired Peters last month, one source said he was clearly the Commanders' top choice. But shortly after Peters was hired, one source said there was no coaching candidate who stood out like Peters. On top of that last year he withdrew from the Texans and Panthers coaching search. I believe Peters was aware of this so I tend to think that he wasn't a "lock" like some media pundits claimed.

I just watched Stephen A video about Quinn on espn. Stone cold and borderline depressed !

This one has the pickaxe, wheelbarrow, and just keeps on shoveling on the BB (not blueberry ) Hill.

It is running out of young leaves

Since we've hit rock bottom management for almost a quarter century, we can only get better. How, how fast, how long will depend on the new ownership and the directions taken, and choices made. The doubting Thomas in me says wait and see and hope for the best.

From the Pokes forum : Titanic Ron Visit planned according to Fish

I believe Peters made things clear because "Dan Quinn's fingerprints are all over his first draft in Dallas".

Here you go

I read something lately in a tweet from a media pundit implying that Peters will be more hands on the draft than hands off, sorry can't find it back. This is an interesting topic you brought and I hope this FO will give us a hint about the decision process.

Don't you think it would also be the other way around ? They know Quinn and Whitt Jr strategies, and if the Cowboys hire outside their organization to fill in their vacancies, the cards wil be reshuffled. Maybe because he told them he's been hired elswhere ?

I would also like to hear Peters about this whole hiring process

Conclusion In this article, we aimed to assess the accuracy of Bryant’s claim that “defense wins championships” in the league today. We did not find that defensive ranking was a better indicator of a playoff berth than offensive ranking, and in fact, we found that a higher fraction of the league's top 5 offenses has made the playoffs over the past 20 years than the league's top 5 defenses. Based on our data, we are unable to conclude that defense is significantly more valuable than offense when it comes to winning championships. We were unable to find a significant difference in the offensive and defensive ranking of Super Bowl champions through the past 20 seasons. Throughout the Patriots’ reign, we did not find that they had a significantly better offense or defense in the years of their 6 Super Bowl victories. Overall, we did not find convincing evidence that “defense wins championships” rings true in the NFL over the past 20 seasons. It is plausible that the NFL’s offensive explosion can be attributed to recent rule changes and improved offensive schemes. With stars like Tom Brady and Drew Brees obliterating passing records set mere seasons prior by Peyton Manning, and young wizards like Patrick Mahomes knocking at the door, this offensive explosion doesn’t appear to be losing traction.

From the Pokes forum : "So I guess we will be going to get Ron Rivera now? Looks like we might be trading our DC for their ex HC." "We are done." "Oh great. Adjusting our record 5-12" "We need to sign Ron Rivera yesterday." "He may not have been the biggest problem but he was definitely not a solution when it came to playing against quality teams. His defense was a routine embarrassment in big games . Not true. He had a bad game againt Green Bay, but all of his other playoff games he was solid. The QB is the problem."

Over the past three seasons, Quinn’s work in Dallas has been outstanding. Using the DVOA metric from FTN, here’s where the Cowboys finished in total defensive DVOA: 2021: 4th 2022: 4th 2023: 5th The DVOA metric is arguably the best tool available at measuring a defense’s effectiveness. Link

Really ? from the few comments I have read over the last couple of years from him he seemed to be blunt and candid.
