MacReady Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Every time we lose a coach I'm a little happier. Everything needs to be different. Everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leader Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 I think its safe to say w/o being deemed too critical that MLF is lacking league-wide connections at this point. Or - it seems that way at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His tree is blocked or moving elsewhere: Taylor, Waldron, McDaniel, LaFleur Jr I'm interested in Hackett though, he did a nice job last year in JAX.

Yeah well - and I'm not dissing the guy before he even starts doing anything - but I'd think the FO would assess his ability to draw assistants as part of his "hireability" (not a word...but expresses the thought). Again - I'm just playing sit back and read cause I dont know these candidates other than what I read - but it seems top line possibilities arent heading our way. An impression only......

He's lost Monken (and we don't even know that really, Monken may not have been his guy after the interview). Campen was under contract by GB, so was Whitt. LaFleur let them both leave.

Taylor is likely hiring guys unofficially. he doesn’t lack connections... there just not enough to go around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish I was hearing more guys coming our way - and reading good reports on their capabilities. Its still early - but not as early as it used to be. Few teams are playing anymore so the field is pretty much wide open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You shouldn't be able to block promotions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's limited to his tree, can't pull from multiple trees unless he steps outside his familiarity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Position upgrades (or potential position upgrades) meant you couldnt block them - including a nuanced "non-play calling" OC - getting offered a "play calling OC" (not that that applies to us.......)

I believe HC is the only interview that cannot be blocked for a coach under contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox_NFLs_GG Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 It looks like it isn't going to be LaFleurs Lieutenants. More like LaFleurs Privates. Anyone talented that he knows has been blocked. Now he has to trust outsiders to learn and teach his offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
