oraphus Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Harris and Peters really fudged the pooch on this one eh? the number 1 vacancy option and we are left to sort through the trash no one else wanted? You're telling me they didn't know the roundpark figure of what Ben Johnson wanted before Det got kicked out of playoffs??? I'd be OK with Vrabel though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler Spiers Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 21 minutes ago, clskinsfan said: I guess I will end up the only one satisfied if Quinn is the hire? We have first rounders all over this defense. I would be happy to see what they can actually look like with a good coach for once. The offensive side would concern me. But our defense could be really fun to watch for once. I would be more than satisfied as long as we pair him with a young OC mastermind that can build and run an innovative offense. I like that Quinn has been in Dallas the last few years so he's going to have an edge on division opponents, where we went 0 and 6 last year. Winning the division is the first step towards reestablishing ourselves so he would give us an edge there that the other coaches wouldn't have. He nearly won a Super Bowl 5 years ago if not for Tom Brady literally becoming Superman. So the guy does have IT. He's relatively still young so he would stay here forever if perennially successful. He could build us a tough smash mouth team. But we must find the next Sean McVay OC genius boy to pair him with. I'm sure they are out there, you just have to find the next diamond in the rough. It's what these guys are paid to do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they had hired Macdonald this morning everyone would be pretty happy. But do any of us really have a clue whether Macdonald will be a better HC than Quinn, or Weaver, or Glenn? It’s just the optics. Peters, Harris, Magic and the rest of the hiring committee believe he would be because they offered him the job and not the others. Maybe they need a closer like a young Dan Snyder to negotiate for them. 1 minute ago, Tyler Spiers said: I would be more than satisfied as long as we pair him with a young OC mastermind that can build and run an innovative offense.

One of the young up and coming coordinators. Let's face it Peters /front office dropped the ball. And now we have to look in the scrap pile for a HC 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they're working on a contract now. Through this whole process, I think we've learned media, bloggers and tweeters have favorites that get us all worked up about a candidate and it's not really what's going on behind closed doors. I think the secrecy with this team of interviewers is also driving everyone crazy! LOL 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be a number of things. Maybe Washington said they wouldn't offer more than a 5-year deal for 1st-time HCs. Maybe to get the guy, Seattle offered the 6th year, or X % more in money. If we've learned anything from the past few weeks, the team has made no statements. Nobody seems to have direct leaked information from GMAP. We just know who all they spoke with, and how many times. I'm not going to pretend to know. 6 year deal with a team that will be up for sale about halfway through that deal is interesting. The Ben Johnson situation was weird. If you want to be thorough AND rapid....and something pops up. We'd want to be thorough more than rapid if forced to choose. No? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t actually think we do know that a Quinn hire would turn out to be average or below. It will be average to bad, if he doesn't have a quality OC to help the QB we draft. Quinn is a mediocre at best HC, so he's going to have to have a quality OC to help out on the offensive side of the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where the mastermind is above my pay grade but one has to be out there. They are always out there. Just do your homework, ace the exam, and find the best OC for the QB you're planning to pick. And our new OC being offered coaching jobs would be amazing because most likely, we have gone deep into the playoffs that year. If the new OC gets hired after building up a fantastic offense, find his carbon copy or promote one of his disciples. It's a good problem to have, a very good problem.
