I think Shurmur would need a few more years of success, with at least one year being an explosive offense, before a team would give him another shot at a head coaching job.

vike daddy Posted November 4, 2017 Author Share Posted November 4, 2017 who knows, maybe Zimmer's health only allows him to coach a few more years and Shurmur stays right here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was interesting that Priefer was chosen over Shurmur as the interim head coach last year against Dallas. Maybe it’s Priefer that gets Cleveland’s attention as a head coach. He was born in Cleveland...hmmm ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CriminalMind Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 I agree with Priefer over Pat for head coach. Pat is gonna get another head coach chance in 2 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelKing728 Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 I'd take Priefer over Shurmur. I'm curious though if teams would worry over what supposedly happened between him and Chris Kluwe and the comments he made that aren't appropriate for this website.

gopherwrestler Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 I've really never been a fan of offensive coordinators being Head Coaches. I realize there are plenty that have worked out, but I really just like to keep something stable that is working. Only way I wouldn't mind it is if you are in a slight rebuild with a new rookie QB.

Klomp Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Tom Pelissero: "When I was calling around to people in the NFL - executives, coaches, agents, everybody - a couple of weeks ago asking about head coaching candidates, Pat Shurmur's name came up multiple times. People think he got a raw deal years ago in Cleveland where the team was sold and you had a lockout, you had all these different things take place. I didn't realize how many fans Pat Shurmur has within the league and the work that he's done with this Vikings offense definitely is shaping opinion." http://www.vikings.com/media-vault/videos/Pelissero-on-QB-Situation-NFC-North-Shurmurs-Influence/3bfdf7a9-756f-4b93-8aa5-b6d80b6e1b5d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted November 9, 2017 Author Share Posted November 9, 2017 Pat Shurmur is now the Vikings Offensive Coordinator as Minnesota has a somewhat different philosophy on offense [than Norv Turner], and both Bridgewater and Shurmur said the quarterback is well-versed in the system. Bridgewater said he used the Vikings virtual reality system to mimic practice reps. And he said he feels physically and mentally comfortable after returning to practice three weeks ago. Bridgewater: “This offense allows guys to just make plays. The previous offense, I think it was a more down-the-field offense, so this offense is a mix of both. I’m excited, excited to be a part of it, and I can’t wait. I have a ton of confidence, throughout this entire process, we did drills and simulated different movements that would prepare me for game-like situations, and I know it’s not the actual game, but I’ve had some great work throughout this entire process, and I’m very comfortable and confident.” Shurmur: “It won’t appear different to him because he’s been involved in what we’ve been doing behind the scenes. It’ll feel not new in terms of being able to go out and execute. It’s similar foundation. We’ve kind of veered left a little bit in terms of some of the things that we’re doing more now that he didn’t do in the past. But there’s a lot things that’ll be very familiar to him.” http://www.vikings.com/news/article-1/Bridgewater-Focused-on-Helping-Vikings-Offense-Any-Way-Possible/1e529d1a-cc44-40ba-921c-457d4bd3f231?sf157488359=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CriminalMind Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Don't expect an OC to say one of his QBs is very unfamiliar with his system, that would be calling out both Teddy and himself.. Always show some confidence regardless. That's Management 101 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
