Hopefully, we can get this thing done and over with by the end of next week. I am kind of anxious about this... this hire will change the future of this franchise for better or for worse. Listening to Mark Wilf talk last week, I have no doubt that whoever they hire was the man or women for the job. They are sick of mediocrity, and so are we. Wolf is one of the 2 on Thursday. It'll be interesting to see if he blows them away as compared to the others, because he's basically been groomed for the job since he was a tween.

swede700 Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 I always did like Raheem when he coached the Bucs. I never did think he got a fair shake there...and he did a good job as interim for the Falcons last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 (edited) Can’t say I’m overly thrilled with the higher number of defensive oriented HC candidates. But, if those candidates who have a defensive background, I think Morris would be my top choice. Edited January 18, 2022 by SemperFeist 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RpMc Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 With all the talk of culture, I'm surprised we haven't reached out to Caldwell. I suppose since we don't have to ask for permission we may be waiting on him (and Pederson) until we have a GM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caldwell is a great teacher, he’s a great person and he’ll instill a culture of accountability, both professionally and personally, but that doesn’t appear to be an issue with the Vikings. Caldwell is still a coach with a rather “old school” mentality and approach. And I think that is what the team is trying to get away from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, just listening to him speak he doesn't/didn't strike me as that type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted January 18, 2022 Author Share Posted January 18, 2022 The Giants completed their first round of interviews with General Manager candidates on Monday and they aren’t wasting any time moving on to a second round. Bills assistant G.M. Joe Schoen is interviewing with the team again on Tuesday and there’s word of another candidate who is on track for another chance to meet with the team as well.

Really have to remember he’s also an offensive coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim would be an extremely disappointing and uninspiring hiring in 2022. Btw, I think I saw you on twitter today bragging about meeting your fiance on hinge.

I always just think of him as a not particularly good HC for the Bucs but I'm not sure how much weight that holds over 10 years later. Would be interesting for sure.
