Re: Our New Head Coach - Dan Quinn

Quinn had success w/ Kyle. Why not Clint Kubiak? Why not go right back to that offense that you should have won a SB with? That to me makes way more sense. Way more.

More importantly does he know what a gatorade stir spoon looks like? Personally I think this should be a joint responsibility for the new OC and DC. I am a firm believer you take care of the small stuff you don't have to worry about the big stuff. If we get the side line gatorade guy a spoon then Forbes will be able to play man cover and Sam will progress through reads faster. It all starts with the small stuff.

On a personal aside this moment, Leno and Norwell blocking each other and Zorn running the swinging gate play twice are moment s I like to go watch for a chuckle.

I too would like a young up-and-comer playcaller, but if he is successful we'd have to deal with potentially watching him leave in a few years and replacing him. That's one of those good problems to have though.

That's a damn good problem to have. I'd like to have those problems.

Re: Our New Head Coach - Dan Quinn

There is a reason why EB wasn't called for HC Interviews... Also why didn't LV or ATL hire him as an OC? Hmmm

I can't tell if this is spin from the FO or legit. I could see it both ways.

I would believe this as a FO spin had Johnson withdrawn from consideration after the second interview. However, the way he withdrew was just odd, not to mention the fact that Detroit didn't give him any monetary incentives to stay with the team.

I believe JP tweeted this speculation right after the news broke.

There were also a lot of rumblings on or about the week of the conference championship game that Johnson was not a sure deal.

Re: Our New Head Coach - Dan Quinn

I voted to wait and see the coordinators Quinn hires. That is very important to the success of any HC. Does anyone know if there will be a committee involved in these decisions?

Re: Our New Head Coach - Dan Quinn

What will Peters and Harris' role be in hiring the coordinators does that fall exclusively under the purview of Quinn?

Re: Our New Head Coach - Dan Quinn

If Harris, after hiring Peters and Quinn, has a strong role in hiring coordinators, that would be a red flag.

Re: Our New Head Coach - Dan Quinn

It’s possible the best move Peters has made so far is not pushing all the chips in on Ben Johnson. The admiring profile of Johnson that someone posted a week or two ago, if you read it carefully, was really all about the success of Campbell-Johnson, not Johnson alone.

This.

If Ben Johnson doesn’t want to be a HC, that’s perfectly fine. But just communicate that up front.
