UK Skins Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 (edited) 3 minutes ago, Idaho fan said: A lot of talk how Quinn was the 3rd or 4th choice. Im not buying that. Peters and Harris said in their PC that they wanted a "leader" first and foremost. Not sure they saw that with Johnson or Macdonald. Sheehan is saying that a formal offer was never offered to Johnson or Macdonald. Was Quinn #1 in their view when they started? Probably not but I doubt Quinn was down the list very far. They got who they wanted after the process. I think you're probably right Idaho. And there were a lot of tweets about how highly they rated Quinn, which we mainly chose to ignore. I'm coming round to the thinking he might have been their number 1 all along. Which is actually quite reassuring.

I was thinking the same. As soon as the majority here start calling him Dan the writing is on the wall for him. There should be a Quinn/Dan tracker here. I guarantee you it will accurately reflect the sentiment toward the team at any given week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ditto if their personalities were very similar. But neither is the case. I mean what about his personality that differs from Ron makes you think he’ll be any more successful?

I do remember several weeks ago some reasonably credible major media source, I think a NFL Network guy, maybe pellisaro, saying Quinn was one desirable possibility to peters and Harris. No big deal, but it was mentioned. 7 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron picked all the players. Ron was on par with Cerrato in that regard. By all accounts, Peters is a fantastic talent evaluator he has roster control. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hdf561 Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Just goes to show even with new ownership, draft picks, and large cap space this still isn’t a great job that attracts NFL talent. NOVA/DC/Lower Maryland are the pit of humanity no one wants to live there, and certainly no one wants to work there. Our facilities are a joke…it’s gonna take a lot more than some new owners and draft picks to gear real talent in this organization. I hope I’m wrong but here comes 5 more years of mediocre until we do this whole thing again 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWJ Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Just now, skinzplay said: Staff is key....OC, DC, ST and position coaches. I wouldn't have chosen Quinn, but he can put together a strong staff. Did so in ATL, and has always had credible lists of prospective staff members, unlike the wish list that many HC candidates dangle to GMs. Wonder if Harris/Adams wants Weaver as Quinns DC as part of the deal and I also wonder if a Gruden might be coming on board as OC. Most likely tie as OC would be the 9er connection but we wait with anticipation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess you'd have to say that Rivera has a thing for a difficult work environment. If i had to pick the differences between Quinn and Rivera. A. Quinn isnt going to have personnel control. If he got personnel control -- yuck. B. Quinn is currently a hot coordinator. By time we got Rivera he wasn't calling the defense much C. Rivera lacked fire both as to his demeanor and the way he approached the off seasons. Quinn supposedly is all fire. D. Quinn has the reputation of hiring coordinators without previous relationships and has the reputation of hiring the best. Not so to say the least about Rivera. E. Logan Paulsen who knows BOTH Rivera and Quinn, and heck he's been working for Ron -- yet has slammed the team's play design on both defense and offense and talked about the defensive design as stellar in Dallas. The way they are similar is players love them. They both were head coaches previously. Both ex-defensive coordinators.

Dah-Dee Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 I just realized I love this hire. It's the best hire ever. Because our new HC's initials are DQ. And that makes me think of So yes, I'm totally on board. It's the most delicious hire in Commanders history. 1 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's one of the biggest positives about him if you look back at his staff history via google. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No big deal, but it was mentioned. Keim mentioned it from the jump. Sheehan too. That they hear they really dig Quinn. And they are dead serious when they touted leadership as the top trait they wanted. When I was rooting for Ben Johnson for weeks I often said don't count out Quinn because I keep hearing his name. And I was afraid that Quinn would beat Johnson in an interview because it was Quinn with the reputation of being dynamic not Johnson. Keim said multiple times when he asked around the league about all these prospective coaches, it was Quinn who got the most props. Albright who is a reputable reporter has said similar things. Sheehan said a few days ago that he heard they were very impressed with that interview, and he's likely their Plan B if they don't go with Ben Johnson. 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
