MikeT14 Posted January 31 Author Share Posted January 31 When they identified all the GMs, it certainly didn't take this long. We were done in 4 days? We were going to be done today too if Johnson or Macdonald were interested in us. Ultimately they weren't and we really look like we're on Plan B.

MKnight82 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 1 minute ago, Slappy Mc said: Absolutely, but being thorough and finding the "right" person has been the plan all along. Plus think of all the great media attention we are getting from being the last ones to fill the spot. Once we hire our guy, it will be all Washington talk, all the time. Getting jilted at the alter by multiple candidates is not good publicity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think we're on Plan B we're on like Plan F at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if this hinders getting a staff together? Best candidates by who's standards though? Do I want a HC to be named right this second? Sure, but I'm not going to throw a fit like a kid that didn't get their way everytime another team hires a HC. As for the staff, there are so many candidates for staffing out there, I really doubt we have trouble putting one together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So every team that interviewed or tried to interview a candidate was jilted? Sounds like just sour grapes on your end from not getting the guys you wanted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've lost half of our interviews to other teams right? 3 minutes ago, Slappy Mc said: Do I want a HC to be named right this second?

You might if they hire Eric Bieniemy because he's the only one left to take the job. 3 minutes ago, Slappy Mc said: As for the staff, there are so many candidates for staffing out there, I really doubt we have trouble putting one together. But how many good and ready candidates are left? How many are still gonna move? What did Quinn's penciled in staff look like vs. who is available now? We're gonna find out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So in the scenario of GMs, what if Peters blew them away in the interview and was the clear cut guy for the job? Would make sense with the quick hire right? On the flip side, if none of the HC candidates separated themselves, wouldn't it be practical to take longer? All the speculating you guys are doing is great conversation, but likely is very off-base when it comes to the truth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavar703 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 I just can’t believe we sat around and watched everyone get hired and we’re going to end up with Dan Quinn. This is legitimately the last thing I expected. This is like waiting for Bruce Allen to get fired for 10 years and then finding out Ron Rivera was getting full control of the franchise. From the highest of highs to a giant kick in the balls. What a bummer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MKnight82 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Just now, Slappy Mc said: I disagree. You directly posted "Ben Johnson or we riot." Based on the crappy candidates they interviewed? Sure. Whatever man. I don't get your attitude on this. You've been in here every week calling for Rivera to be fired. Where was the patience then? Now this is a total disaster and you're all over us for wanting something to actually go right for once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we didn't get what we want, that kinda stinks, no? I wanted MacDonald. I think he is going to be a great head coach. It's not different than what/who you guys wanted. I'm just not throwing tempertantrums like the world is coming to an end because we didn't get the guy I wanted. I'm not bad mouthing the people that literally saved us from the Snyder era as incompetent people who don't have a plan. It absolutely stinks when you don't get what you want, but rationale thinking is important in these situations and all I'm seeing is emotional responses. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
