88Comrade2000 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 (edited) I’d wait until after this weekends games before predicting where coaches end up. There’s likely to be 1 or more openings still to happen. Edited January 11 by 88Comrade2000 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovi Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 1 hour ago, Curtisp5286 said: Adam Peters and Ben Johnson. The two most exciting guys with the most boring, generic names. I dunno. I’m sure we will be very popular among the lady fans. We got a Peter for a gm and a Johnson for a coach. 56 minutes ago, Spearfeather said: Should have looked at this first lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three year ago the Falcons hired THE red hot OC in Arthur Smith. He interviewed everywhere. They fired him three days ago. You never know what you're getting when promoting coordinators. I think Harbaugh would probably want too much player personnel control and he always seems to have some drama going on. Vrabel sounds like he also wants a lot of team building control. It just doesn’t seem to be the structure that ownership is going for. If Adam Peters ends up getting hired, I wouldn’t be surprised if he pushed for Bobby Slowik who coached under Kyle Shanahan, and Peters, for 6 years in SF and was in Washington with him too. Could be a natural fit where those guys are very much in lock step, something that Harris/Bob Myers has stressed as incredibly important. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anselmheifer Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 I don't think we've heard any mention of him, but I wouldn't mind Kyle Smith as GM under Peters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voice_of_Reason Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 2 hours ago, KDawg said: I got a notification today that the commanders are going to focus on the defensive side of the ball and/or Harbaugh. Going to guess that notification was non sense. It’s also the polar opposite of what should be done. I asked about that as well. It was an ESPN+ alert. One of our friendly board members posted the article that has nothing to do with the alert. It was a click bate alert. 24 minutes ago, Anselmheifer said: I don't think we've heard any mention of him, but I wouldn't mind Kyle Smith as GM under Peters. There is a twitter personality who still goes by the moniker “KyleSmithForGM.” That guy would be happy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Mexican Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Why is this taking so long? The FO should have mode inroads on the new hirings months ago. What the heck could they posibly be waiting for?

It’s time for his Steelers tenure to end. Take a year off and enter the 25 coaching market. If he leaves, that’s most likely what will happen. Good Lord, man. Now you're after Tomlin? 🤣 You trying to be the kiss of death for coaches? You got RR, be happy and content with that. Lol. Man, you something serious.

skinsfan4128 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 I'm, like alot of folks here, just enjoying watching a competent ownership do a comprehensive search for an organizational structure that the previous ****face refused to go with. It really is giving a feeling that, for once, we are in good hands and that things are going to be done correctly instead of Lil Napoleon's half assed way of doing ****. I'm on board with whatever Harris and Co decide. Personally, I think Peters will be the guy and am of the opinion there will be a GM under him. Albeit, I'm not sure who that may be. But it just seems like the direction ownership wants to go. It'd make sense to get the best minds working together to turn things around with a new, young and innovative HC. Regardless, I'm in anticipation as much as the next fan. But damn does this feel good to know we have ownership that's on top of things. My son approves of this wholeheartedly. Lol.

No more retreads. 2 of our last 3 coaches were retreads and fired retreads at that. Wherever Jim goes, he won’t be there to long. 4-5 years. Vrabel just got fired, let him go elsewhere. We need to give one of the young oc’s a chance. Yeah, they could be busts but I’d rather go with someone young and hungry.

I still remember when we hired Zorn as OC without a HC named in place then he left Dan's home to go put on a suit as Vinny told him he could come back and interview for the HC spot after the fans shat on the floating of Jim "putting all my chips in" Fassel as HC. What a clustery clown show that era was. Good riddance and I welcome and embrace our new overlords. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the heck could they posibly be waiting for? Unless that happens NOW we're looking at yet another lost season. We are not the only meal on the menu. A lot of these guys have interviews w/ multiple orgs and you gotta let them parse their options. That takes some time. Snyder is gone, so the days of "You have 6 hours to accept the job offer or its gone" are out the window. You have to let your applicants do what is best for them if we wanna be that good org we all wanna be. Adam Peters should not just quickly accept our job when he has requests from the Raiders on the table too. Same of Ian Cunningham when the Chargers have reached out to him. Halaby has multiple teams coming after him too. Who knows, maybe someone is offering more money or incentives, or moves them closer to family. Better yet it provides leverage for them to come back and get an even better deal off of us. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chi va piano va sano e va lontano, chi va forte va a la morte Remember Snyder with his knee jerk reactions and his black "resident evil" vans. "Harris “didn’t want to put a timeframe on turning around the Commanders.” Phillips also wrote Harris will “need to determine a structure for the new organization.” In addition to a coach and GM, he might also have a team president and a vice president of player personnel. Harris’ “love of analytics is well known,” and he “may create an entire department around the concept -- but would need to determine who they report to” (WASHINGTON TIMES, 1/8)." I think this hiring process is conducted very thoroughly and professionally therefore its taking some time. Since Harris has a very good reputation and that we're the sexiest girl of the dance hall I believe those candidates will fight for the job.
