Apparently his other sons are named Klay and Klein. Huge red flag imo. No longer interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting rid of good coaches is bad business. I get the "logic" but like if you buy some failing business you don't have to fire every single guy. You need to be smart enough to look at what guys weren't at fault and are assets going forward. Maybe there's just stuff we don't know that would change my mind. But he sure seemed like a good coach to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean Campen was a great coach for us but it’s been awhile since we’ve had a player emerge like Bakh or Lang. Taylor was undrafted and appeared to be an average starter for a while. Linsley wasn't a high pick. Murphy was a 7th and Jason at least started to look better lately. I don't think you can expect a ton more than that honestly.

Made me laugh out loud then. And...it was true. He's an example of great coaching to get the best out of player who is willing to take to coaching. When we signed him to that deal I think the whole thread but like two or three people was like lolllol wut. Myself included.

jiggad369 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Isn't it a good thing that we're not jumping the gun on these hires while others are? 4 teams are left in the playoffs and we can get our hands on some good candidates after the playoffs are done.

We need to be careful not to twist his words: So they were strong candidates but didn't stand out. He never said they did not impress. I get it... exact words matter. But it still remains, Mark Murphy didn’t come out and say something like hey we had a lot of amazing candidates, it was very tough to pick the best man because they all stood out and impressed Brian, Russ and myself... but out of all of them LaFleur stood out slightly more. He said none stood out... I translate that to none impressed, it was just the tone of his story telling. Now he might of done it to up sell LaFleur. But I’m willing to bet if they did... they would of did second interviews. I read it exactly how Mark put it out there. LaFleur was the first and only to stand out in a crop of “meh”. So they jumped to hire him. I appreciate Mark’s honesty, not knocking him for it. But like other during and after the press conference... the way Mark worded it was interesting.

{Family Ghost} Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 I like Monken as an OC, but I'm not sure there are many similarities between his offense and LaFleur's. Nathaniel Hackett's philosophy is a closer match I believe. Kubiak would be a good match .. maybe Defilippo and Jim Bob Cooter as well. Maybe we need to think philosophical match more than anything.

incognito_man Posted January 14, 2019 Author Share Posted January 14, 2019 I'm sure LaFleur knows whether or not McVay would let Waldron leave for a non-playcalling OC position. I suspect the lack of a hire might mean Waldron is the guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
