Well if Jimmy admires them, then it should work out great...

I have a good feeling we're headed for an arranged marriage...

This reminds me of a Nic Cage marriage

Huge News in my opinion regarding our coaching search is that we're reportedly interviewing McDaniels on Monday.

McDaniels who's team is out of the playoffs can finalize a contract whenever he and the hiring team chooses.

This is big news imo because we're in competition for McDaniels (assuming this is who the Haslam's want) with other teams.

Therefore, if he's the Haslam's guy, they can't afford to let him leave Cleveland and head to New York or Carolina without doing everything they can to solidify an agreement.

McDaniels may inform them that he wants to interview with the other teams anyway, but Coaches often cancel their scheduled interviews the moment they see that they are working toward an agreement. Agents and coaching search team's usually give a 48 hour window to negotiate a preliminary contractual agreement with the belief that finer details will be resolved in the upcoming days and weeks..

If the Vikings win today, Stefanski likely wouldn't be available until much later this upcoming week.

Will the Haslam's wait to interview Stefanski or Daboll OR will they strike while the irons hot with McDaniels? If people want Stefanski to get a shot, the Vikings likely need to lose.

Vikings win could make it very difficult for us to both entertain McDaniels and truly consider Kevin Stefanski.

Stefanski would be the only candidate for which we couldn't finalize a contract with until after the Vikings post-season run.

Even then, there's no guarantee that he won't interview and take another job elsewhere unless the Haslam's and he can work out some agreement.

All signs now point to McDaniels, especially if Stefanski doesn't interview until Friday. The Haslam's will likely not feel comfortable interviewing Josh McDaniels on Monday then watching Josh interview else up until Friday or so when the Browns interview Stefanski.

It's a shame that we likely won't be able to interview both of them around the same time and choose accordingly between the two based on the merits perceived by the coaching committee.

If we tell Josh we're going to wait to interview Kevin, it's likely he and his agent will take that as enough justification to finalize an agreement with another team.

We were always going to interview Stefanski this week as has been reported the past few days.

Had the Patriots won yesterday, McDaniels was set to interview on Friday; that is, after the weeks preparation for the upcoming game was done.

That's likely the timeline for Stefanski as well; that is, he'll interview Friday after the Vikings preparation for the 49ers is done. Zimmer and Belichick are old school like that when it comes to advising their coordinators to interview after the "hay is in the barn" on the week's game planning and preparation.

Timing is key. If we truly want Stefanski, we'll have to be willing to let McDaniels leave Cleveland for the Dallas, New York or Carolina interviews.

I guess we’ll see just how much haslam is willing to listen to Pauly d. Josh=haslams pick stefanski=Pauly d. Just gotta hope jimmy doesn’t get antsy and hire josh after the first interview. 

[sdrawkcab321]

Also the Vikings DC contract is up. We could end up with. HC stefanski OC mike McDaniel DC George Edwards ST preifer.

I know Stefnaski was DePodestas pick last year but was McDanies even a option last year ?. I don't remember if he took interviews ok last year or not? Who's to say DePo doesn't like McDaniels more?

[Reginaldm9]

We're gonna hire Daboll and piss everyone off lol
