Coming from KC knowing Bienemy up close I would've thought hed at least get an interview. I think that might say alot about Bienemy idk. If anyone would want to take you as a serious candidate you'd think it'd be Poles in this situation. Given his history I doubt he ever gets an HC gig. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmike90 Posted January 30, 2022 Author Share Posted January 30, 2022 Anyone else think that Miami & the Jags desperately trying to find offensive HCs shows exactly why we went with a defensive guy who judt so happened to be the best fit?...some of the names linked to those jobs would be way down the list for most franchises.

I also think that Zimmer really is a quality coach, and that his firing in Minnesota was the result of a whole slew of things that piled up over the years, many of which were basically beyond his control. It reminds me a lot of the Lovie firing--I didn't agree with it, but I understood why ownership felt it necessary. I also think that, mental faculties aside, Harbaugh isn't as great a coach as people suddenly seem to think he is. 4 hours ago, brownie man said: The more I think about it, its just interested that Poles didn't even give Bieniemy an interview.

Maybe he is locked in as HC if Big Red retires? 4 hours ago, Madmike90 said: Given his history I doubt he ever gets an HC gig. Or maybe this is why?

I don't. I think Poles got his guy and just zoned in quickly. I wouldn't want to go to my plan B or C if my job is tied to him. He likely (hopefully) just got who he wanted.

I don’t think people just suddenly think Harbaugh is a great coach. I think that’s been the opinion of many for a long time. He’s had success at every stop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now he's rocksolid, bulletproof and bonafide. But whatever. We'll see if the Vikings hire him...as far as I know he hasn't interviewed with Miami, which I find weird.

I mean, Belichick and Reid have both been fired too. College is highly dependent on recruiting, which is why Saban is a coaching god there but was crap in the pros.

Sort of getting of the subject here--but Saban failing in the pros has always confused me. It's like, HUH? Truly weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s a good coach whose dominance at Bama is heavily tied to the talent gap between his team and others. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True. I also believe he figured that he'd have instant success cuz he's Nick Saban. So, he gave up too early. Still...just a really bizarre deal. The guy had coached in the pros before and everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be pretty upset if Harbaugh ends up being the coach for the Vikings, especially if his deal is reasonable and is less than the rumored 10 year $100M contract that the Bears reportedly didn't want to entertain. Not that I'm disappointed with Poles & Flus...but if we could have had Harbaugh he would have still been my preferred choice 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually think he could be good in Minnesota. Their owner tends to let things play out. They have a 1st-time GM who comes from the analytics/cap side of things. And Adolfo-Mensah comes from a GM tree that stresses building the type of physical OL Harbaugh likes.
