I kept saying before they started losing yardage to just kick the FG and Atlanta should win the SB. Not only that but where they were they could have just run the ball and let the clock run down. But no, they wanted to set up passing plays. Pissed me off. I've been saying that for years. There was about 4:47 left on the clock when Julio Jones made the ridiculous catch at the NE 22 yard line. They then lost a yard on a running play, got sacked for 12 yards, then penalized for 10 yards, pushing them back to the NE 45 yard line with 3:38 left and the score 28-20. All they had to do was run it twice more, burning clock to the 2 minute warning, or making NE burn all of their time outs, before kicking the field goal to make it 31-20. I put that more on Shanahan, not Quinn, since he was calling the plays. An 11 point lead with about 2 minutes left and NE needing not only a TD/2 pt convert, but also a FG, and not having all of their time outs would have left a very different outcome. I can never help but think what the story about NE/Belichick/Brady and their 6 titles would be if Pete Carroll and Kyle Shanahan hadn't both lost their minds in the clutch in those Super Bowls....

ThatNFLChick Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 I was more interested in Harris saying IQ and high intelligence was particularly important to him in a Head Coach. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What risk is there, then, to wait this out until those two things can occur? If Johnson doesn't give us a handshake agreement and the Lions go to the Super Bowl ... and then he doesn't actually come on as a HC, that would keep us out of the race for several other options yeah? This happened with Bieniemy last year but I think that was more of an unexpected move for us. Just kind of curious what the implications are to waiting on someone making a deep playoff run. The same could be said for Slowik and McDaniel, too. They've changed the rules recently. It used to be that there was an absolute ban on interviews until the candidate's season was over. The feeling was that it penalized candidates from playoff teams and that it made the offseason harder for interviewing teams, since some candidates couldn't even be contacted until February. It's still an even playing field, though. The hottest candidates are all still coaching for the moment, unless you count Belichick, Vrabel or Dan Quinn that way. I'm quite sure Josh and Adam will have a priority list for that very reason. Of course, Josh seems like the kind of guy who isn't going to lose out on his preferred candidate very easily. The same factors that attracted Adam to the job will also make the HC job attractive. The wildcards would be the Cowboys or Eagles jobs coming open, but those are difficult situations that might be a turnoff for some of the hotter candidates. Salary cap problems, aging rosters, meddling and impatient owners... 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought someone posted on FB that according to NFL rules teams must interview 2 minorities or 2 females or a combination of the two in order to fulfill the Rooney Rule. So hearing that today made me laugh. I had to go back and play it twice more to make sure I heard it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinews Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 It's difficult to extract a lot from these press conferences, where it's mostly bromides and talking points. But the coherence between owner and GM, the themes (leadership, vision), and vibe check are all things to be excited about. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rufus T Firefly Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 It always cracks me up when people listen to GMs for clues on what they're going to do. It's all scripted talking points. Nothing good or bad about it, but it's meaningless. I'd rather listen to a player interview. And I never listen to those. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, but I'd also say that my ideal is where there is no reason to listen to a GM or owner interview, because they're in charge of a smooth, effective, drama-free machine. There hasn't been a lot of that around these parts in many years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there is something newsworthy in that interview, your team is probably in trouble. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The statement about fans seeing the difference on the field is step one. Whether it's instant or 2 years, I'm ready to see a different intensity/approach. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the key quote from Adam, to my mind. Look for improvement on the field right away even if it takes longer to show up in the standings. Better coaching should show up right away in better technique and decisionmaking from players and fewer mistakes and penalties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think so. Again, I think they both have agreed on their target and now the advisory team along with both Harris and Adam get it done. I truly think the new HC is and has been Ben Johnson. I actually think they fly out and interview both Johnson and Glenn and Johnson the whole time is their guy. Guess on my part.
