TecmoSuperJoe Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 (edited) I thought seeing Dan Campbell, Mark Brunell, Antwaan Randle El, Hank Fraley, Duce Staley, and Aaron Glenn as coaches all on the same staff made me feel old. Meyo as a potential head coach now is just mean. Edited January 11, 2022 by TecmoSuperJoe 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparition Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Mayo has been an outstanding leader as both a player and a coach, and did a great job getting the most out of players like Bentley and Van Noy. He's definitely got it in him to be a head coach. I'm not sure how he is as an X's and O's guy, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A leader type with a winning pedigree and that players will love, then have X's and O's guys as coordinators. Vrabel, as a DC, is one of the worst, so his resume to coach isn't really much better than Mayo's. I don't think it's the best way to go about searching for a coach, and I was skeptical as hell when Vrabel was hired, but it clearly can work. They just came from the "hire-an-elite-coordinator-and-give-him-the-reins" approach, so I can't fault them for wanting to go a different direction.

He's a great DC and players seem to love playing for him. As long as they make a good hire at OC they should be fine. They have the talent, they just need a captain who has been there done that who can steer the ship--much like John Fox in the Tebow-Manning years.

I would say he is a pretty darn good coach and can get guys to perform at peak level. The only question is can he hire the right guy on offense to call the plays ala Kyle Shannahan in ATL.

Being a great DC means nothing to me at this point. All that holds salt is his experience as a HC and when he lost Kyle Shanahan, he sucked. The whole time.

Here's the thing...all of the available guys with HC experience are jobless for a reason or there is a reason they are now coordinators.

Ok and not many of them were as bad as Quinn in ATL. Most overrated coaching prospect out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
