No I get it, but I think people here would be (including myself) more open to that rather than HC. 

I hear you but taking an OC here would be a lateral move not a promotion, why would he even bother to interview for that?  May as well stay with Bill.

I understand that, thats why he is taking the interview here for HC, just saying I would prefer it.

Browns seem to be the only current competition for McDaniels

Beware the Browns.

I certainly cant say what it would be like to live there - but they've a recently improved roster - a reconstructed football operations - I think they're still (for some unknown reason) sitting pretty CAP and draft selections-wise - AND - they're close to NE.

If I remember, part of McDaniels reticence about leaving New England was uprooting his family. Now - thats an oft cited reason for a lot of things - but if true to a considerable degree, CLE is just a stones throw away and a direct airport/airport shot - which GB is not.

Something I want in my next head coach: emotional intelligence and the ability to handle the transition from Rodgers. If I’m Murphy I’m asking every candidate how they would handle a situation like McCarthy did in ‘08 when Favre wanted to come back. Say what you want about his schemes, MM knew how to talk to people and had the courage to say what needed to be said. Can you imagine being the one to tell Brett Favre we’ve moved on? And how justified Thompson must’ve felt when McCarthy did that?

McDaniels is from Ohio too.

That contract extension didn't rule Lincoln Riley out for you?

If we're all perfectly honest, none of us have a clue who the Packers will hire, but I think there are some qualities that all leaders must have, whether CEO of a company, President of a college, or NFL HC. Let's explore some of those qualities. Here are my thoughts.

(1) Organizational skills. The new HC has to be able to organize team meetings, practices, etc. so they run effectively and efficiently.

(2) Credibility. He must have demonstrated he can be successful as a coach. The new HC also has to understand all three phases of the game, offense, defense, and special teams. He will have a specialty area, but must understand all three. This may be even more important with a super smart, experienced QB like Rodgers. Without credibility the players won't buy in. 

(3) Motivational skills. The NFL season is a long grind. Keeping people (players and coaches) enthusiastic and fired up is important. Some charisma might help with this too.

(4) Ability to Delegate. The ability to delegate responsibility in such a complex environment will be another key skill. Many people who rise to the top in organizations are control freaks. Trying to do this as an NFL HC would be a disaster. Identifying competent and trustworthy people to do some of the work will be important for success.

(5) Game Management skills. McCarthy made this obvious.

(6) People Management skills. I suspect there are lots of strong personalities in an NFL organization (players and coaches). Keeping everyone pulling together and harmonious is another key to success. Conflict resolution know how is a must. I suspect lots of great X and O guys (coordinators) fail on this point. 

(7) NFL Connections. This is needed to attract quality assistants.

Find the guy who checks all these boxes and we've got our man. Maybe.

Adding these from Chili:

(8) Ability to evaluate talent.

(9) Media skills. The ability to interact with the press.

If each category is worth 5 points, a perfect score would be 45. As I read your defense of Candidate A versus Candidate B, it would be helpful to use these categories in your argument. And I would really appreciate it if someone who was familiar with Josh McDaniels would rate him on these criteria. Thanks and Happy New Year!

To recap

GB has already interviewed: Chuck Pagano and Jim Caldwell

McDaniels interviews on Friday

GB interviewing Dan Campbell in New Orleans on Saturday

LaFleur interviewing on Sunday

 

Thought I saw something about them interviewing Brian Flores sometime this weekend too but haven't seen any confirmation there

Does the hire get announced somewhat quickly or is it wait till after the superbowl? I guess I haven't really paid much attention to the timing for the hires.

I think the league likes to keep Super Bowl week clean of competing stories.
