We could get the Eagles OC or 49ers DC and yet we would go after Mr. 28-3. 

Look on the bright side:  they had 28 points in the middle of the third quarter.  Our current brain trust takes almost two games to get to that point!

I'd personally rather take a swing at an up-and-coming NFL coordinator (a risk, but not as much of a risk as another college guy with a Process/system).  But I'd rather bring Rivera back than another swing at a Rhule/Kelly/whoever is the latest college coach everybody is drooling over.  Not only can Tepper not know how to figure out who in that group might work out, I don't think anybody can.

While I don't think Quinn would be a terrible hire and he's been to a Super Bowl, it just feels like he'd be sort of a Ron Rivera redux. I'd prefer to go for some new blood. I'm warming up to the idea of DeMeco Ryans as HC and him bringing along someone from the Shanahan tree to be his OC.

DeMeco Ryans is a good DC and would love to bring that attitude he has here, but we really need an offensive mind to run this team.  I'd rather lose our DC than our OC if we do well.  

I think the hard part is who.  So many OCs that have talented QBs which makes them look like geniuses but then when they get hired as a head coach and have a mediocre or less QB.  They struggle.

I mean what happened to Dan Quinn in ATL? Does anyone know? I didnt follow them close enough during his tenure.... but he did take them to the super bowl with Matty ice at QB. 

 

@Mr. Scot any observations on your side?

Blew a 28-3 lead in the superbowl. 43-42 career record. Kept his job a year or two longer than he should have because of going on a late season win streak when they were basically out of playoff contention. He's quite a bit like Ron Rivera in that regard.

More importantly, his last game that he coached for the Falcons he lost to Matt Rhule, I don't think that's a coincidence. More details are below.

He did, but lost it in spectacular fashion.

Honestly, I'm not sure he ever recovered from that.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.

      Not a chance the SEC could compete with the NFL.  In the large cities that are not in the Southeast, (LA, NYC, Chicago, SF) College football is an afterthought.
