HC timeline

[WarHawks]

Just curious when do you all think JS will announce his hire? After the playoffs? After the sb? Not sure what the standard timeline is.

 

[James in PA]

Shortly after the ravens are eliminated. If it's after the after the Owl, I hope there's already a wink and nod deal in place with the agent.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

I'm glad they are taking their time. This is a huge decision.

Agreed, but there is a fine line. Wait too long and you limit your options.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Maybe for the fans. Our opinions mean nothing. I'm good letting John do his job. He knows what he's doing.

SEVERAL teams are doing multiple interviews with guys. Interviewing a guy twice isn't just a John thing, many teams are doing the same.

Rooney rule requires an in-person interview. If you’re doing virtual meetings as a 1st round (by rule for playoff participants) for many candidates, the default format becomes virtual screening followed by in-person for contenders.

They can't even talk to Mike MacDonald until after the Super Bowl. They lost out on the opportunity because the Ravens we're the #1 seed. So, the longer they wait the more likely it is that they will want to talk to him.

Ben Johnson is headed to Washington. So, he's out.

Harbaugh to the Chargers is all but a done deal.

That leaves you with guys like Quinn, Raheem Morris, Vrabel & Bobby Slowik. My gut says Morris is the favorite out of those guys who have interviewed.

So, do you wait & gamble on MacDonald? I would. But they may not want to wait to hire someone.

So yesterday was one week from the end of the Coach Carroll coaching days here. Let's be patient it is a big decision to be made which will shape the future of the team for the next few seasons at least.

The team has been in touch with many candidates and there are others they may still want to talk to who are still in the playoffs.

It'd be nice to get this done soon but getting it right is far more important than the speed at which it is done.

In all honesty, I have a feeling that Schneider is targeting in on Ejiro Evero, but waiting to interview McDonald just to see what that guy's all about.

 

[James in PA]

I'm still not giving up on Ben Johnson. No salary cap for coaches. But if we can't land him, I'm all in on MacDonald. At this point, I think anyone other than Johnson or MacDonald is going to be disappointing, with the possible exceptions of Slowik or Vrabel.

At least, the Panthers and Falcons have requested a 2nd interview with him.
If he’s their target they better move fast.

 

[Ozzy]

They will have a little bit of a time crunch if they wait until after the SB. I think they have to make a decision on Geno 5 days after the Super Bowl which isn't much time if you're working with a new head coach on what to do. It's possible John has already made a decision on Geno too so it may not matter.

Thanks for sharing that. I honestly don't think many people actually know that we can't talk to him yet. It's an interesting twist to the rules, but it is what it is.

 

[RiverDog]

I'm glad they are taking their time. This is a huge decision.

I'm glad that they're being deliberate, too. But with as many teams that are in the market, there's a snooze, you lose factor that has to be taken into consideration. If they find someone they like, they need to pull the trigger on him as he's likely to have one or two other suitors.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

NONE of us know what conversations have happened. None of us.

 

[CactusJack]

In all honesty, I have a feeling that Schneider is targeting in on Ejiro Evero, but waiting to interview McDonald just to see what that guy's all about.

My gut says that Evero is being considered as a DC with Raheem Morris the HC.

Evero was on the 2021 Rams coaching staff with Morris that won the SB.

Anyways, a Morris/Evero ticket I think is a legit possibility. Something fans should not rule out.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

I don't care if they hire Frederick J. Flintstone, as long as he wins and changes the culture here.

 

[CactusJack]

Thanks for sharing that. I honestly don't think many people actually know that we can't talk to him yet. It's an interesting twist to the rules, but it is what it is.

Here's a more detailed analysis of the rules.

No. I want it all now.
