Mike MacDonald: Don't forget that Harris is from Maryland, which means he is very familiar with how successful the Baltimore Ravens have been under John Harbaugh over the last 16 years. The 36-year-old MacDonald has been on Harbaugh's staff for nine of the last 10 seasons, with a one-year detour to run the defense for the other Harbaugh in Michigan. The past two years, MacDonald took over a defense that fell apart in Wink Martindale's final season and he turned it back into a top-10 unit. That's bolstered his credentials. It wouldn't hurt that Harris would be taking a key piece away from his new crosstown rivals, too.

@LakeLewis

The @Commanders have to nail the GM/HC hires. Teams like the Texans and Colts with rookie head coaches/a rookie QB and backup QB, are in a playoff run. That word “rebuild” can happen immediately with the right people in place. #NFL

He is an idiot, those change arounds didn't happen overnight, we re going to be replacing our entire football operation, it is going to take at least 2 to 3 years to show progress, anyone expecting or counting on an immediate change in fortune is going to be disappointed.

Re: Potential GM/HC/Coaches Thread
 

MTK, thanks for sharing the article. Seems like there are a few good GM candidates, I'm really excited to see how Harris group's plans unfold within a few weeks.

I really like the idea of hiring MacDonald as head coach.

You know there probably won’t be a GM/HC in place till February, after the SB.

No one holding either position >>>>>>>>>>>> Rivera holding either position

Just want to know he's gone. That's the 1st step. I'll worry about Step 2 after Step 1 is completed.

Re: Potential GM/HC/Coaches Thread
 

It would be so Ron like if we won sunday

Re: Potential GM/HC/Coaches Thread
 

GM: Joe Hortiz
HC: Mike Macdonald
DC: Anthony Weaver
OC: Zac Robinson

Early wish list.

Re: Potential GM/HC/Coaches Thread
 

The league is offense 1st and we're drafting a QB in the 1st round. I just don't prefer a defense 1st coach for what we need. We need to get someone here that can grow w/ our drafted QB. A defense first guy may be run the ball and play defense. So many of them are wired that way. You gotta score points, the rules lean heavily towards scoring, get Ben Johnson because he is ready. He is getting the most out of an average QB. He will put an emphasis on an oline. The Lions score points w/ that average QB that McVay did not want. Get it done. It ain't that hard. He will bring the absolute best out of the QB.

I'm fine w/ Horitiz. But just don't hire a coach cause you know him. Hire the absolute best guy for the job. No more buddy buddy stuff. If that guy is MacDonald then fine. But if that guy is someone from another organization from the one you're coming from then you go that route.

It's usually not buddy buddy stuff, and it happens all over the NFL. Very few GM/coaches are going to hire someone who is completely unknown to them.

I'm not justifying Ron's hires, but it was tiring to hear fans think that Ron was the only guy in the league that hired people he worked with before. I guess that happens when you lose, and you nitpick everything.

You go for the best HC candidate, in my opinion MacDonald is it. He’s 36 years old, has a proven record and if you are not convinced, kicked the shit out of the forty whiners in SF. DeMeco Ryans is a defensive coach, just need to hire a good OC.

Zac Robinson is a QB coach who is coaching under McVay. I think he's perfectly capable of coaching a rookie QB up.

I guarantee that if we win, it won't be because of anything RR did.

Re: Potential GM/HC/Coaches Thread
 

We’re not winning, Dallas could have 5+ turnovers and they’d still probably win

Re: Potential GM/HC/Coaches Thread
 

Please let it be true:

NEWS: The #Commanders are expected to be targeting #Ravens head of scouting, Joe Hortiz, and defensive coordinator, Mike Macdonald to be their next GM and HC, per the WaPo, via general managers.

“It’s not going to be a retread,” according to a longtime league executive.

With respect to these guys, Patrick Queen is a FA next year. Maybe one splash FA signing to act as the first building block in the centre of the defense, knows their scheme , culture and way of doing things.

We're going to speak Macdonald into existence. We're just going to raid the whole Baltimore franchise. Washington Marauders.

I know next to nothing about M. Macdonald. If this turns out to be true, who would be the likely OC candidates he would bring in? Both sides need repair...

He would make an excellent HC.......

Re: Potential GM/HC/Coaches Thread
 

At the very least, he'll probably take the LB position group more seriously...

Re: Potential GM/HC/Coaches Thread
 

I hope Ryan Kerrigan is retained by the new coaching staff.

I don't know honestly that I've ever been excited for "Black Monday" like I am right now.

We're on to bigger and better things!

Re: Potential GM/HC/Coaches Thread
 

Add Bobby Slowick to the list. He has done an outstanding job w/ a rookie QB.

Been saying this for two years. What he has done with Stroud is the cherry on top. You get a quarterback from OSU to ball out in this league and you better get a shot. Immediately.

I really like the idea of bringing in a ready-made team of forward thinking executives who worked together successfully in a well-respected organization for four years (2014-2018). If this happens, we should be able to get off to a fast start. [B]And Brains! Brains! Brains![/B]

Here's an exciting fact about Mike MacDonald: "Graduated [B]summa cum laude[/B] with a finance degree from Georgia's Terry College of Business in 2010...[B]Earned his[/B] [B]master's degree in sports management[/B] from Georgia in 2013, [B]while serving as safeties and defensive quality control coach[/B] for the Bulldogs.

Note: Sorry about all the bolding I did. I find this prospect to be very exciting!
