It’s a tough sell if it’s Quinn after getting torched by the teams we will be playing this year with much more talent on defense than we have. Would be shocked if John got his one chance and played it so safe with a high floor low ceiling pick in Quinn. When I think going toe to toe with McVay, Shanahan and what will be an improved AZ offense as well next year Quinn is not the guy I want. It would be a baffling choice. If it’s the case he better get a savant OC
Perspective might be a little different on the inside. These interviews are all talented coaches and their ceilings are all fairly undetermined, because coaches so often change quite a lot between roles. There's all sorts of chemistry and synergy considerations.
A big part of this process is growth and relationship, and I don't know that we consider that enough.
They've just got to bet on the guy they think is the right fit. Not necessarily the hottest commodity or the guy who runs the trendiest offense, but the fit that can marry cohesively with the front office in a partnership that'll lead to a unified on-field product.
Is that Quinn? Maybe. Rapport seems like it's there. Could be one of the other offensive guys. Could be a Canales or a Johnson. Could be a guy like Graham who gets buy-in from his guys. Could be a guy like Morris who flamed out as a very young coach but who obviously has a beyond-infectious nature to him and has received a world-class coaching education through the years.
In the end, the determination will be made considering factors that will likely never be known to us. I gotta let it play out here.
