swede700 Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 After some of the discussion yesterday in the Shurmur thread, coupled with the tweets below, we might need to begin thinking about who on the coaching staff might get jobs elsewhere, as it now looks likely that teams will begin poking around due to their success. While I don't expect Edwards to get any serious HC consideration, I do expect that Gray might get another shot at being a DC, especially since his work with the entire secondary has been nothing short of spectacular. So, who could and should get other opportunities? And is there a potential replacement in place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 good topic. worthy specific discussion, i would say. watch for news on Paton getting his annual GM interviews too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heimdallr Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Paton, Shurmur, Edwards and Woods all in jeopardy.... Any chance Sparano could get OC/HC looks again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of Paton... Quote The three most common names: George Paton, the affable assistant GM for Minnesota who has been an oft-interviewed candidate; rising star Eliot Wolf, Green Bay’s director of football operations and the son of Hall of Famer Ron Wolf; and Eagles VP of player personnel Joe Douglas, who made his bones scouting for the Ravens and is vital to Philly’s recent success. “I’m an unabashed fan of George Paton,’’ said one club exec who interviewed him. “Gets along great with everybody and is a great scout.” https://www.si.com/nfl/2017/12/05/new-york-giants-gm-coach-search-mcadoo-reese-fired-john-mara Like I said yesterday, I think the Giants' job would be the one of the premier jobs and one that I believe Paton would take, if offered.

NorthCountryEvo Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 I think that based on our success this year, Patton and one of Gray or Edwards will leave for bigger jobs. If by some chance Shurmur leaves to take a HC job elsewhere, I would expect him to pull Gray as his DC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelKing728 Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Edwards might get interviewed a lot. At worst, his interview fulfills the Rooney Rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm speaking from his perspective, as being a Head Coach is a move up for him. He could finally get out of Zimmer's shadow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 from his perspective he wouldn't care about the Rooney Rule, see? that would be from the perspective of the interviewing teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikesfan89 Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Any chance that a team would bring Edwards in to run zimmers defence as the DC? Or is that not enough of a step up for him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Age, I believe, I working against the coaches on our staff. The NFL is a copycat league and teams are going to be looking for the young buck who can reach these young players, a la Sean McVay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 But, the only coach that I’d hate to lose is Shurmur. And if he does get pilfered, I’d go after Hue Jackson to replace him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. They apparently experimented with it during some preseason games, but it’s always been Zimmer calling the defense during the regular season.
