Coaching interview updates

[Mr. Scot]

Regarding Wilks, Person says his plans for the offensive side of the ball will be the biggest key to his interview.

More specifically, Person believes any notion of keeping Ben McAdoo as his OC won't fly.

Why would we, really?

I guess the announcement came more of a surprise than the actual fact it was taking place so soon. I get why they are doing it but I would've thought they would have let Wilks have time to get out of the bathroom before they announced they had already setup the interview schedule. I don't know, this whole thing has just been one weird series of events altogether.

If you want this team to be about offense then you need to hire an offensive HC. A good OC is probably gonna get poached.

Wilks has had to put feelers out to other coaches during the last feel weeks, right? I mean if not for here, he's bound to get interviews elsewhere now.

Jim Caldwell is someone I thought could be an interesting OC pairing with Wilks even before news of him interviewing for the HC came out. I wonder if Wilks may have floated the name to Tepper and they are interviewing him as "HC" just to see if his ideas gel with what Tepper/Wilks want to do.

Wonder if that will come up in the interview? Wonder if Tepper and Fitt will actually acknowledge the defense is worse and that Holcomb will not be the DC?

A lot of assumptions that only work if Wilks got the job. He hasn’t and he will not.

Thats one of my biggest issues. Plus if youre dead set on removing OC and DC......just add the HC as well.......The HC was a "defense" guy and the defense getting worse each passing week, huge deal for me. 

Think about it- old college coach was much better than YOUR handed picked DC at two different teams..... plus thats your specialty??

There are limits on his ability to talk to currently employed NFL guys, but rules wouldn't stop him from talking to a guy like Caldwell.

(or Reich, for that matter)

Who would Wilks tab for his OC & DC? I think Campen and Tabor stay, but clean house on most other position coaches.

These hires would have to be a make or break for Wilks. 
 

I just don’t know connections or who Wilks would like. A guy like Brian Johnson probably follows Steichen….maybe Bevell in MIA gets another opportunity to be OC?
