Potential GM/HC/Coaches Thread

[EdmundDorf]

You have to bear in mind that McDonald has a great defensive roster, disappointed that we didn't go for Roquan Smith or the safety, but obviously All Pros that don't have position flex at OT aren't of any real use. Not that I am bitter at all.

He also did it in Michigan and Baltimore before that. If we would have been our DC when Montez was here, he would had that D playing instead of underachieving. He’s ready to be a HC and I hope he’s the one picked.

Even if we had drafted Kyle Hamilton we would've fucked it up like we did with Kam Curl.

Gotta wonder how much Chris Harris contributed to Curl's success - Harris left before last year and our secondary went back to being dogshit again. I think we led the league in giving up chunk plays.

Anyways that's what we have Adam Peters for - to identify where we can get players like Roquan Smith and Kyle Hamilton from - and why we need a good coaching staff that can develop them and maximize their succcess.

My question is - if we hire him does he still run the defense and call plays? Or does he find the next Mike Macdonald to be his coordinator?

That is my concern also .. If we are hiring Johnson because of his performance as a OC why would we not let him be the HC/OC ?? To do otherwise who will be our OC ?

A first-time HC should not be HC/OC. Being the Head Coach has a different skill set, but he should bring in an OC that he trusts.

Frankly, I'm not overly fussed about a D or an O coach being HC, I'm most concerned that he's exhibited the skills to turn a team into champions. Whether a great OC or DC, it's not the ability to build a great O or D, it's about the whole team. They're not going to interview any of these guys based purely on how good a scheme they have put together in recent years, that's just one factor. Did they get the best out of their players? How? What's their plan to help the GM build a strong, sustainable roster plan? How did they handle adversity? Star player ego's? and so forth.

Yes being a great OC or DC is of course important in lining up a candidate, but the job is so much more.

May have been mentioned here but Eric B also interviewed for the HC position.

They already interviewed Raheem Morris. Tongue in check comment aside Peters is going to be methodical, which I like, he is not going to let someone in house slip away without interviewing them.

true but the Rooney rule specifically says: person to be interview must be a minority a little person and have a bowling ball head size

Raheem only checked one of those boxes

Eric crushed it!

I honestly don't have any strong preferences, just get the best guy for the job. I trust AP will do that.

Even though I'm leaning toward MacDonald, I'm with you as I will be happy with whoever AP chooses.

If The Lions and Ben Johnson beat the 49ers next weekend, then I’m all in on the Johnson bandwagon.
