He made Ryan Tannehill look good off the trash heap and installed Henry as the clear cut #1 back, which seems obvious but no one prior to him thought to do it.

He's bringing guys in, smart and capable guys to have a discussion about the role. No doubt the Deshaun Watson situation is brought up and - hopefully - Watson is given updates on who these people are and how these discussions are going. But, outside of that artificial vacuum - I can't help but to feel that Easterby is pulling a string or two to give off the impression that the team is doing their homework, but this is all smokescreen for Jerod Mayo or Josh McDaniels. As a fan, I shouldn't feel like my team is actively lying to everyone - players, media and fans. But, here we are. My Spidey Sense is telling me that Leslie Frazier is the fallback option, with Jim Caldwell alongside him as an Assistant HC/OC. I sincerely think the Texans are going to wait until they're done with the Eric Bienemy interview, and decide between Bienemy and the fallback option. But, I really don't know. Irrational ownership is impossible to predict. As long as it isn't Brandon Staley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's from the Payton tree and is a guy who believes scheming to your players is what needs to be done not the other way around. Swoosh joined in like 2005. He's been here forever. Dude, me too. It is what it is. I like Brady. But the experience and the staffing concerns are there. Otherwise he would be alongside Daboll in terms of HC preference for the Chargers.

soflbillsfan Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 I wonder how things play out now that Urban is signing with Jags today. Do the domino's fall faster or will this not be a big impact on the hirings? Who will be the next domino to fall? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He left Jets after a 7 hour meeting yesterday to fly down to South Florida to talk to Eagles Brass. After Arthur left Atlanta he flew up to Jets for a meeting last night and today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But some people had similar concerns about McVay. Now, he did have more NFL experience, but I think being able to hire great assistants comes down as much to respect as it does connections.

It's hard to gauge leadership skills from afar, but the guy is a genius when it comes to X's and O's and in-game adjustments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe McVay had more connections due to his grandfather and working under both Grudens and Shanahans. Besides being a hard worker, having family in the NFL probably helped opened doors that were otherwise closed to outsiders. I don’t know too much about Brady’s connection other than Payton though.

With all due respect, @ET80, this is sorta reminding me of when you were trying to talk everyone into the idea that Bill O'Brien is actually a good GM even if he's not a great coach (unless I'm misremembering)... I get it though, fandom means pretty much always being in the bargaining phase and they always find a way to bring us back in...

brushmyhair Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 After Urban gets hired, Which team will be next to make a hire My guess is Atlanta is next. Have a feeling they want Arthur. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
