What's to say he won't block that again? 16 minutes ago, Klomp said: He was still under contract last offseason. He won't be next offseason, so the team can't block any interviews. Makes sense.

Nozizaki Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 I could see him brought in for Houston, if they move on from Bill O'Brien, they've really struggled in the end zone. It would be a scapegoat hire, because Watson has been awful in the redzone, not the playcalling. But I could see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you get the exact matchup you want and your team fails to execute, yeah. For instance: your QB misses an open receiver in the end zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering they just extended Bill O'Brien in January for 4 more years, that ain't happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 I think it’s very possible that Wilks could be one and done in Arizona. And if that were to happen, DeFilippo would be a solid choice for them, and their young QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, his situation could also scare them away from a guy like DeFilippo, as they maybe would want to go with a guy who's done it before...like a Jim Schwartz.

Klomp Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Who's this year's Sean McVay -- the young, up-and-coming coach who may get an NFL head job sooner than expected? I asked the question around this time a year ago and identified seven candidates, three of whom ended up getting hired (Matt Nagy by the Bears, Mike Vrabel by the Titans and Matt Patricia by the Lions) and two others (John DeFilippo and Kris Richard) who received interviews. As I noted then, McVay -- a 30-year-old with three years of experience as a coordinator when the Rams hired him in January 2017 -- is a rare guy, and pretty much nobody has comparable experience at such a young age. But with the 7-0 Rams hot again, you can bet some NFL teams will be willing to look past the length of the resume (or lack thereof) if they feel they have a shot to land the next superstar head coach. The criteria here remains loose: the age cutoff is in the early 40s, and the person can't have been a full-time NFL head coach before. Here's a short list of names to remember, based on dozens of recent conversations with NFL executives, coaches, players and others close to the search process: Vikings OC John DeFilippo Saints assistant head coach/TEs Dan Campbell Oklahoma head coach Lincoln Riley Cowboys passing game coordinator/DBs coach Kris Richard Rams QBs coach Zac Taylor and TEs coach/passing game coordinator Shane Waldron Patriots LBs coach Brian Flores Titans OC Matt LaFleur Others to watch in coming years: Dolphins DC Matt Burke; Eagles QBs coach Press Taylor; Iowa State coach Matt Campbell; Falcons DC Marquand Manuel; Giants DC James Bettcher; Vikings QBs coach Kevin Stefanski and TEs coach Todd Downing; Lions OC Jim Bob Cooter; Chiefs QBs coach Mike Kafka; Jets OC Jeremy Bates; Packers WR coach David Raih; 49ers QB coach Rich Scangarello, run-game specialist Mike McDaniel and DC Robert Saleh; Cardinals QB coach/interim OC Byron Leftwich; Panthers QB coach Scott Turner. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000977723/article/john-defilippo-kris-richard-among-coaching-names-to-watch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think bringing in any coaches from college who has no experience in the pro game is always an unmitigated disaster. See Spurrier, Switzer (yes, he won a Super Bowl, but let's not ignore the coaching disaster he was), and Kelly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lincoln Riley is going nowhere. There's probably very few jobs he'd leave Oklahoma for, and I don't see any of them being open this offseason. Plus, Oklahoma is going to be willing to pay to keep him around. And you have to imagine that he's going to want significant player control as well.

vike daddy Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Offensive coordinator John DeFilippo said the running game is a work in progress for obvious reasons. DeFilippo: “I’m an ‘it is what it is’ kind of a guy. If you’re a realist, I think new offensive coordinator, new quarterback, a little bit of a new scheme. Obviously, we’ve had a revolving door up front. I think there are a lot of factors involved. Are we looking to improve each week running the football? One hundred percent. I think you’re starting to see guys settling into their roles. I think you’re starting to see myself starting to understand what guys do well. That takes time. No one wants to hear that, but it kind of is what it is.” http://www.startribune.com/rookie-cornerback-holton-hill-says-he-won-t-be-in-awe-of-drew-brees/498600691/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
