Holmgren to Schneider - "Hire an offensive coach!"

Always liked holmy

 

[oldhawkfan]

Is he throwing his name in the pile?

 

[James in PA]

Great advice.

Mike: "John, I have a really great candidate for you in mind. His name rhymes with 'Spike Vromgrin".

 

[pittpnthrs]

Big Mike's been out of it for a long time and even he recognizes the current NFL.

I dont get what everyone's hard on is for an Offensive minded coach, while Dan Campbell & Demeco Ryan are the type of coach I would be looking for. Younger coaches with grit, that relate well with overpaid young men, that seem to have their teams bought in, and willing to run through a wall for them. I hope we look hard @ Mike MacDonald & Mike Vrabel. Harbaugh don't mesh well with J/S imo. If looking O minded I hope it's Ben Johnson.

 

[James in PA]

I just listened to Holmy's comments. He added that he would like the new head coach to also be the play caller. I agree 1000%. You got the job because you are a great play caller. Don't hand those duties off to somebody else now.

The only way to get ahead in this league is to "bucked the trends"

What does holmgren know, let him chew on the checkers pieces.

Both of their offensive coordinators are going to get plucked for head coaching jobs. So we'll see how they do once they're gone. Remember what happened to Dan Quinn once Shanny left.

We were also a finesse team that got b* slapped by the bully under his tenure. Maybe I'm remembering the post-Hutch era too much though.

Offense / defense minded. Thats not the critical issue. the critical piece is getting a LEADER who can inspire and teach 53 men of varying personalities / abilities and roles.

If youve got a great offensive mind and he cant do that - McDaniels, among many others. Your team fails.

If you get a defensive minded guy that can scheme well but doesnt inspire - same result.

We should stop the binary offense vs defense debate and think a little more critically about which candidates have proven that they have the chops to run the whole show.

A great leader can put together a solid team of coaches and coordinators, and if he establishes and maintains a strong culture, have success in identifying future candidates to bring in if /when successful staff members leave.

Its more about leadership and culture setting than anything.

Leadership, culture and accountability.

 

[JayhawkMike]

Leadership, culture and accountability.

Does accountability also apply to the head coach and coordinators? That has not happened consistently until PC was fired.

This is actually why people are adamant. Look at Detroit. Ben Johnson worked wonders with Goff and that offense and now they're going to lose him. Will the next OC be able to do the same thing? Time will tell. I love Campbell and Ryans but both are losing their OC's and it will be interesting to see how they respond. I bet the Texans are scared to death of losing their OC with their prized possession entering his second year.

In a perfect world you have someone like Campbell as your head coach and an innovative OC and they stay for 5 years, but it never happens.

Exactly. We've seen more than one team have their offense fall apart after the OC left. If you have an offensive minded coach who is running his system that isn't going to happen.

Here's where things get weird. Dan Campbell is an offensive coach.

 

[Wolfiegrrl]

I like Bobby Slowik for this reason. He's worked defensive side in Washington and has a unique point of view when play calling. I think that's why CJ Steoud is doing so well. Slowik knows what the defense is going to do and makes the right adjustments. Beautiful to watch.

Pete had a sweetheart deal.

I agree wether they go O or D minded coach that their assistants will play a major roll, gonna be interesting to see it all play out with J/S acting like the Cock of the Walk! BTW I'm not feeling Quinn
