Potential GM/HC/Coaches Thread
 

[QUOTE=KI Skins Fan;1356883]I thought they were both candidates for the GM position. If one of them becomes President of Football Ops, could that mean Martin Mayhew might keep his job as GM?[/QUOTE]


I think whatever we call it that Peters or whoever will be in charge of personnel. Don’t think we will have a president and a gm. If we do the GM will basically be in charge of holding the door open for Peters… or whoever.

John Lynch is the President/ GM in San Fran.

That is the way I see it as well. Head of Football Ops, President of Football Ops, GM...all going to be the same guy - and he will pick his HC.

Honestly, this gives me chills. I am not sure I know how to handle people actually wanting to be a part of this organization. So refreshing and also just a bit twilight zoneish...

Josh Harris obviously makes a good first impression, and I am sure Magic brings out some of the fan boy in candidates. Bodes well for getting the coach they want

The way I understand it is that Harris doesn’t want to use titles during the job search phase that are already filled positions in Ashburn. “Prez of Football Ops”is just a placeholder until it all gets sorted out.

So true!!!!!!

I hope Snyder had the bathroom spycams removed so new management doesn’t get inadvertently tangled up in a scandal

It’s weird being optimistic.
I’m actually going to enjoy the lead up to the draft and preseason.

From what i was just listening to on the Hoffman Show (or whatever the hell its called), now they both have to be interviewed by Magic and Rales, then it will be determined if they hire one or both . . .

Re: Potential GM/HC/Coaches Thread
 

Who would have thought, people that come from winning organizations want to come and work here. My how things have changed.

Pretty good side by side comparison
[url]https://www.hogshaven.com/2024/1/11/24034845/a-side-by-side-comparison-of-adam-peters-and-ian-cunningham[/url]

Honestly I would be happy with either

Re: Potential GM/HC/Coaches Thread
 

Either one would be a significant upgrade compared to who has held the position here in the last many years.

I think my preference at this point is Peters. He's had a hand in fielding a top 5 defense over the last three years, to go along with one of the best offenses over that time as well.

I was looking at the comparison that was linked in an above post and the thing that stuck out to me was where Cunningham has been. He has a connection to the Ravens, and also his Philly time means he has a strong familiarity with our division. For those reasons alone I am hoping for Cunningham, but I expect it will be Peters.

Re: Potential GM/HC/Coaches Thread
 

Being in the Ravens organization and around / learning from Ozzie Newsome is definitely a factor. I'm not sure familiarity with the division is much of a factor. Ultimately, results is what will be the deciding factor.

Re: Potential GM/HC/Coaches Thread
 

Whoever it is will be far more qualified than anyone since Beathard. No more putting lipstick on a pig. This is going to be built the right way.

There was a lot that I liked about Cunningham after reading that article. In particular his his success rate at drafting OL which due to college offenses has started to become more challenging to rate the positions. One thing to note both had drafts with weighted average career values that were high and also some that were low. Even highly sought after candidates will have bad drafts.

The Patriots just hired Jerod Mayo as Head Coach.

Mike Vrabel probably just moved to the front of our HC possibility line. Thought for sure the Pats would swoop him up.

The Hoffman show was stating it could be Peters for the Head of Football Operations and Cunningham for GM.

He will end up the best of the candidates wait and see .. I would have allready hired him!

Re: Potential GM/HC/Coaches Thread
 

The head coach should oversee the team .. the issue with a coordinator running the entire team is it splits their duties , I would much rather have a OC and DC that there only job is just that .. Let the Head guy worry about the entire team .. it comes from the top . The owner hires the GM who is over the HC who hires his staff .. If we bring in some Coordinator that has never been a head coach it's gonna be a learning curve .I would rather have the best Experience head coach guy out there that's not super old .. Vrabel checks all the boxes !All the young hot shot coordinators are very Risky and unknown as head coach ,we allready are gonna have a rookie QB under center . Factor in that with essentially Rookie Head coach who will be multi tasking for the first time that's a lot of unknowns..

Re: Potential GM/HC/Coaches Thread
 

If Josh Harris thinks that Vrabel could function well in the type of management structure that he envisions, then Vrabel may be interviewed. I can appreciate rocnik's argument that Vrabel tried to wear too many hats in Tennessee. That may have been influenced by the NFL culture he came up in with Belichick running practically everything.

I would be more than ok with Ben Johnson. Slowick would be my choice but Ben Johnson is absolutely fine.

Anything can go wrong but it is amazing how the first offseason without Snyder is going to produce a real GM, HC, and QB. This could have easily unfolded where he left and the cap space and draft picks were non existent.

Re: Potential GM/HC/Coaches Thread
 

Looks like Ben Johnson will be the guy per multiple reports.. EB is def gone then.

Re: Potential GM/HC/Coaches Thread
 

[quote=skinsfaninok;1357047]Looks like Ben Johnson will be the guy per multiple reports.. EB is def gone then.[/quote]

While I doubt it'll happen (he gets an offer), my money is on them waiting it out to see if he gets an approach for a HC or another OC position, to get compensation. There are enough HC candidates to go around as it is, and I doubt anyone wants to expend picks to take him. Betting he's let go soon after a new HC is appointed, but I doubt he goes before. Likely he'll be back in KC next year.

Good post. HC is a leader of men and sets the tone for the whole team. Maybe Ben Johnson has the right qualities for HC and would be good at finding his own OC. But the lesson from teams like Texans, Ravens, and Lions may be that you need a boy genius coordinator, not necessarily a boy genius HC. And on Slowik, the more I watch CJ Stroud, the more I wonder who’s making the other look so good?
