I’m surprised that they want a defensive minded head coach though. I’m not; I’ve seen their defense. Maybe the thinking is that with Kyler missing most or all of the year, they’d rather have a guy in the big chair who can get the defense in shape over a two year period rather than a guy who’d likely be running a makeshift offense and then a completely different one the next year when Kyler comes back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murray had surgery in January so he should be ready to go by September, not sure why he’d miss most or potentially all of next season. And your head coaching hire shouldn’t be about trying to salvage a couple of games while your franchise player is potentially out. I think it should be about finding the guy that can get the most out of Kyler considering they just gave him $230M and are stuck with him for at least the next 3, probably 4 seasons.

Sure, but Anarumo’s choice of OC could in theory get the most out of Kyler too. And it’s not about “salvaging a few games,” it’s about fixing a bad defense. If they think Anarumo can do that, they’d have to make him HC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That and if Kyler is really as 'free-spirited' as a QB as he's often portrayed, it maybe harder to take advantage of offensive design and better to try to build a great defense with a good enough but volatile offense.

INbengalfan Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 43 minutes ago, NYRaider said: Anarumo seems like the better choice. The Bengals defense is good but not great from a talent perspective but he still has found ways to slow down guys like Allen, Mahomes, etc. Their success seems more so based on him getting the most out of their personnel rather than just being overwhelmingly talented. The Eagles defense was stacked but got exposed when it mattered most due to poor coaching. I agree with most of this, but to be fair, he looks for specific players for specific roles. His defense was atrocious the first year plus as he flipped the roster. So it isn't likely he would turn the defense around for at least a year or two.

I get that way of thinking but I also think the new regime will be judged pretty heavily on Kyler’s performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there’s truth to this, it makes a lot of sense. This guy agreed and was apparently under Bienemy in Minny in 2010? Haven't heard much outside of these guys but would certainly explain his alleged bombing of interviews year after year...maybe former players have some strong opinions about him behind closed doors. All speculation at this point obviously 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s important that he at least has a scheme that has shown to be effective against the best teams in the league and he knows the personnel he needs to execute it. I think the turn around time to find the guys he needs for his scheme is much faster and more realistic than the Cardinals ever having a defense with a talent level even similar to what the Eagles had this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you have a QB taking up more than 25% of your cap for the foreseeable future you can’t just hope and pray, you have to try whatever you can to make it work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a lot of the problem has been the GM hire and that guy getting up to speed with candidates who were already getting hired elsewhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s also the DC who has struggled to make adjustments all season long and did again on Sunday. That’s opposed to the DC with the Bengals who actually gave that KC offense problems two seasons in a row, making key half time adjustments in both games. My bad, sounds like Fangio was hired to help the offense exploit KC’s D. Still the point remains, Gannon has faced criticism for his in game adjustments - something Anorumo has received praise for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
