Would you be pleased if we hired Byron Leftwich??

My biggest issue with Byron Leftwich is the same one I have with Ken Dorsey and Kellen Moore.

They're all very intelligent and skilled, but I think they need more experience before they're ready to take on a head coaching job.

I know everybody is looking for the next Sean McVay, but I feel like if you go that route you're probably more likely to find the next Joe Brady 😕

I suppose it depends how often a coordinator calls plays, what role they have in the team, etc. It feels unfair to loop them all in with Brady... Especially when these guys we usually are talking about have multiple years of NFL experience

Bit of a conflict of interest. He is the OC for the Bucs or whatever but I think he's is ready for the big time. He's the next coach to be upnext in the hot offensive coordinator to HC list.

If he brings in Tom Moore, and it depends on the DC. Everywhere Tom Moore goes Lombardi’s follow. He is ancient though. I would be excited about the offense and worried about the defense. I wished we could get Tomlin personally.

I agree with this. It would be extremely important who they surround themselves with. The vet dream DC would be Vic Fangio. Then you can completely let go of the defense.

Byron was a tough, gutsy player who brought a lot to the huddle and the lockerroom. As a coach, he's  been even better.

I think his combination of working his way up the coaching ranks AND his playing time on the field makes him an outstanding candidate. 

If we were to snag him, I'd think we'd set ourselves up for long term success.

My ignorant take is that although I like the dude, Brady makes it very hard to evaluate his coaching abilities. 

on the flip side, the fact he has worked with brady may mean he's learned some things that may help him be a better coach.

Leftwich has only been coaching since 2016, Moore since only 2018. Dorsey has the longest tenure of the bunch, starting in 2023.

There are guys who have been ripe for a head coaching opportunity for longer than these guys have even been coaching.

I know it's not his fault, but older coaches have been pushed to the fringe because of how successful McVay has been.

      Updated 2025 draft order

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I'm still not touching Hunter He again said the other day that he plans on playing both sides of the ball in the NFL.  If he is allowed to do that, he won't be as good on either side as his potential and he's going to have serious injury issues and have a short career.  If he's not allowed to do it, I think he's going to become a problem when the team isn't winning as he's going to feel him not being used on both sides of the ball is why. He's being coddled in that environment with Deion and I think it's doing a disservice to him to prepare him for life in the NFL where your coach isn't a 2nd father to you, to where you can just walk into his locker room and steal his shoes like Hunter does to Deion.

      Real Mid-Season Development at QB: Bo Nix

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      He’s a tad behind them. Around 15ish of 32 starters in the league. He’s well ahead of a lot of guys. Tua, Bryce, Cousins (present), Rodgers (current), Devito/Jones, Minshew, Russ (current), Watson, Smith, Carr, T Laws deep ball is weak as poo IMO, there’s plenty. And it’s not like everyone is ripping 60+ers. The key component is if you can rip and maintain velocity of the 30-40 yarders which he does super well. Legit every report out there from Brugler to PFF to PFN document him as good/above average arm strength.  Eye test tells me it’s pretty much that as well, slightly above average.

      Predictions for Brooks debut

      By CBDellinger · Posted

      6-10 carries for  35-45 yds and 3-5 catches for 15-25 would be great.
