I don’t understand the Dan Quinn hate. He wouldn’t be my first choice but he’s a good coach. He clearly knows football and defense. He’s not a bad guy, knows a ton of people and could put together a good staff. I also think if Harris and Peters wanted Macdonald they could have gotten him. I do wonder if all the Ben Johnson talk actually was seriously harmful to the process. Like the candidates all assumed it was Ben Johnson and therefore they just moved on. I know a meltdown is coming. I’m going to reserve judgement until something bad happens. Just like last year. Reserved judgement until EB proved himself a fool. 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This smacks of the FO not being prepared and now settling for leftover candidates. It’s definitely not a lack of preparation. From the very start they identified 7 candidates, and interviewed them all. Maybe Quinn is not their first choice, but this was an orderly HC search process. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am listening to you, SIP. We don't. The MacDonald news was shot in the heart to a lot of ESers and you too, I think. This group of people on this board just don't want a retread. All I can figure out. I have asked them to look at video of Quinn as him being a leader and they say, "All I can look at is one minute". I know you have said and all of us have said we don't want Quinn but we have to give Peters and Harris a chance. Bottom line. Ben Johnson was the target and a lot of people were pissed he did what he did. That's life as we know. Post at you later, SIP. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't, but the league does. The hottest candidates have been plucked by seasoned teams and veteran owners who interviewed the same people we did and were interested in the same people we were interested in. Painting it like none of these candidates matched our needs is absurd. Unless I'm mistaken, Seattle had the same needs as ours because they interviewed the same people, confirming the legitimacy and value of the candidates that you're implying didn't match our needs.

ultravin Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 i'm surprised that Pete Caroll isn't garnering any interests. Pete could probably pry Dan Quinn as his DC if he becomes coach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGoodBits Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Think of this like like you are interviewing candidates for a job in your own profession. Would you be biased toward people who have never done the job before, but have the right skillset for it? Or would you interview people who might have already done the job (even if they had a mixed bag of success)? Generally speaking, job experience is a good thing. Even if that experience includes some failures. People learn from their experiences and improve the next time they get a chance. NFL has their weird dynamic where coaches get one shot with one organization and then get buried down the list of candidates in the future because everyone is trying to get lucky and hire the next McVay. I know nothing (personally) about Quinn other than he had coached top defenses in Seattle and Dallas, and took Atlanta to a super bowl. He's had enough success in his career that it's not crazy to think he could be a better coach here than he was in Atlanta. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a report yesterday that Ben Johnson wanted a 6 year deal (like the one Tepper gave Canales) but we held firm on a 4 year deal. I wonder if we made a 4 yr offer to Macdonald and he went to Seattle when they upoed their commitment to six years? "Penny wise, pound foolish?"

srtman04 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 I actually think Pete Carroll is our best bet at this point. He is still a fiery personality and can get people to play at this age. He still wants to coach and it will buy us some time to figure out next up and coming head coach in a few years. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodpecker Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 11 minutes ago, Warhead36 said: This needs to be stickied: Vrabel will not be interviewed by Peters. Vrabel and Titans GM Ron Carthon butted heads. Carthon and Peters are boys from their days together with the 49ers. The well is poisoned. Please a mod sticky this or something lolol I hope that’s not the case. If so, it would be a very petty reason not to at least interview the guy.

They did, but they weren’t the same team. Offense went from dominant to decent. This highlights the problem with defensive head coaches. Young offensive coordinators don’t stick around, but old defensive coordinators are all over the league doing very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again I may be jaded and not objectively considering his age as I have over a decade on young Petey.
