Coaching /GM Interview Tracker (Cunningham makes second round interviews in Jax)

Anyway, to the topic. I don't think we can discount that several of those top HCs also helped make the HoF QBs. Or, at the very least, some of those were "matches made in heaven" (in reference to Sean McVay, who is an excellent playcaller and never pushed a raw QB to their maximum potential - Stafford is the same QB he was in Detroit, and Goff is performing far better now than when he played for McVay).

i love this i was telling my kid the other day the way Goff has been playing I think he's actually surpassed Stafford and Detroit totally won that trade.

George McCaskey told everyone that's not an issue.

I just figured out that the CPD officer in The Fugitive was also Rudy's D-line coach at Notre Dame.

He's also Tom Cruise's uncle in Cocktail, and it's great because he's a lifelong Queens guy but he still has the thickest Chicago accent ever.

I remember clueless george in his press conference acting like he's never even heard of the idea of a top coaching candidate coming in demanding his own GM.

Meanwhile even the raiders are willing to fire a decent GM to get their guy. Yet george insists on keeping a bottom feeder and will wonder why the only coach he can attract are the leftovers passed over by the serious organizations.

Oh well, like I said when they decided to keep eberflus, dumb trashy franchises remain dumb trashy franchises for a reason. That reason being they do dumb trashy things over and over and over.

Kinda hurts Johnson and the Lions. They're going to have quite the brain drain there this off-season.

I was reading that near the end Belichick was struggling because over the years he had so many great assistants poached he basically was starting over w/ retreads and newbs

Well, maybe if the Lions win the super bowl, but LA got theirs

Kind of. I think DET has to win a SB to win that trade ultimately. Had LA not won a SB already, I'd agree with you though.

True.

Ravens immediately before Todd Monken:

19th in points
16th in yards

Ravens the first year under Todd Monken:
4th in points
6th in yards

This past year:
3rd in points
1st in yards

He's also from Wheaton and grew up a Bears fan.

Context needs to be provided here. In the season before Monken got there, Jackson missed 6 games due to injury, JK Dobbins and Edwards both missed half the season due to injury, and their best receiver was DeMarcus Robinson (aside from Mark Andrews).

With Jackson, the Ravens averaged 25.1 PPG, and without him, 15.3 PPG.

By the time Monken joined, Jackson has been healthy, their RBs have been mostly healthy, they drafted Zay Flowers which has helped open up the offense, and then brining in Henry obviously helped a ton.

Saleh was rumored to be Vrabel's top choice for DC. That'd be a major get for his staff.

Win - win

Very True. But rather I was saying who won "more" if you had to pick one.

I'd want to know who his OC was and the plan for Caleb.

LOL that type of information is not going to be "leaked" down to us peasants

A lot of times, you can have an idea just from who the OC selection is. I guess I don't mean I need to know what the plan is - just that there was a plan, and it sounded good to the Bears.

 

[gallagher]

I hate to side with the other one, but there is just not a loser in this trade. Both fandoms would have to fight it out to see who truly won more. One has a ring, the other has a franchise. I don't think that Detroit has to get a ring if they are getting like, five amazing seasons of excitement.

Now, if Detroit falls apart when Campbell loses his key coordinators, LA can plant that flag. But at this very moment, Detroit has been an exciting watch for three years running. They are achieving heights that could not be obtained when they had unstoppable players like Barry Sanders or Calvin Johnson.

Agree, we picked the wrong brotha

Hard to pick now, too many variables. how long does Stafford play? how long does Goff play? Etc etc.

Right now it really feels pretty even. The Rams wanted to put themselves over the edge, and they did. Detroit wanted to turn their franchise around, and we will soon find out if that was all an illusion propped up by short term success.

If Detroit falls apart when Ben Johnson and Aaron Glenn get gigs elsewhere, then those extra first round picks don't mean squat. Detroit is back to unrealized potential. Today Detroit should feel good, because they got their franchise turned around thanks to this trade. If in a year or two, they don't have a ring, and the franchise recedes to average (or worse), then it was all false hope.
