Well we know we weren’t getting Harbaugh. And Tomlin stayed put. Bill Belichick is meh. So who was your pick?

I didn’t have a “pick”. I wanted them to conduct a legitimate search with qualified candidates. The guy we hired honestly hasn’t even earned an interview. He’s getting way too much credit for Geno who honestly just needed a chance to play again and Baker who actually had a pretty good start to his career and was dumped by the Browns (who might still be playing if they had him). 
 

Instead we get a guy who’s only been in charge of an offense for 1 year and in that year they weren’t really any good. Maybe the guy will eventually be a head coach and I don’t blame him for taking a job he’s unqualified for, but chances are it’s a few years too early on him. 
 

Tepper comes from an environment where a lot of people get hired based on how they look and sound and not the work and he’s brought that mentality here. That’s why he’ll be firing him in 2 years also. This was a hire they had to get right and they failed miserably…again.

When you say qualified are you referring to head coaching experience or overall more years coaching in general?

I get what you're saying and why you're skeptical as it pertains to Tepper. I'm in the same boat. This move could ultimately prove fruitless you could be right. It could work out too who knows. But I think you're putting too much emphasis on experience in this instance. Canales success or failure will boil down to if we are able to turnaround our ability to assess and identify talent. If we keep drafting like poo and signing mediocre FA's it won't matter who the coach is. We'll see if that changes for the better.

He was the OC for 1 year but has over a decade of experience under Carroll. We wanted BJ last year who was the OC for one year, Mike McDaniel has less of a resume, McVay was an OC for 2 years with way less overall experience, John Harbaugh worked in special teams and then a DB coach for a year. Morgan clearly liked what he saw from Canales working with him in Seattle and brought him in to interview in front of the firm who it seems walked away impressed to. People get too caught up in how long someone called plays.

They hired an outside firm with a great reputation, has a small team including said firm, the new GM, the owners, the president of football and (I think) Jim Caldwell. They interviewed essentially everyone outside of Bill and Jim. How is that not a legitimate search with qualified candidates?

His influences are interesting. Leadership from years with Pete Carroll. Learned offense from the McVay tree ( Waldron being the connection ). It's a good mix.

Carroll passed him over twice for a promotion to OC. Interesting.

He only worked with waldron for 2 years.  I am curious if DC is going to stay with the zone blocking concept

I wonder this as well, he had some interesting bits on making the offense "OL-Friendly". I know everyone raves over SF's QB Friendly offensive schemes... Interested in seeing  how this translates.

What the hell is innovative about him? 
 

Do you people just make up what you want to be true?

you can use whatever word you want, but he is obviously doing something to QB's, WR's and offenses that has caused an undersized QB to win a super bowl (Russ), a WR room consisting of Doug Baldwin, rookie Tyler Lockett and David Moore to be a super bowl winning trio, the career resurrection of Geno Smith and Baker Mayfield, and offense that was a drive away from being in the NFCCG tomorrow when people thought they would be bottom feeders.

Evero 2nd interview with the Seahawks.

 

If we lose him it's really going to hurt.

I'm baffled by their process.

They strong armed a great coach out the door (admittedly he's 72) and didn't have someone immediately lined up to take over. I was sure they'd tampered with someone.

Probably something happened behind the scenes. You're right they fired a good HC for no apparent reason.

      As of today, who would you draft at number 8?

      By theinstrumental · Posted

      Jahdae Barron. Bringing plus physicality at a position where it’s normally scarce is an impactful swing. He’s going to help the character of whatever defense he’s on. I’d prefer a d-lineman, but there likely isn’t one worth 8, and there are so many in the middle rounds. Just get a dude who helps.

      1.  Edge Jalon Walker:  I have been skeptical of Walker's fit as I would be any hybrid type of player, but his strengths as a person and player and the flexibility he gives the DC is formidable. He gives us a LB who can covert to Edge or Edge who can convert to LB during "hurry up" offenses when you can't substitute.  Walker scares me, but you don't draft him if you can't see the fit.  At #8, we could do worse.  I am seeing more Micah Parsons than I did a week ago.  2.  CB Will Johnson: Too often we think of the third CB as depth or nickel because that is traditional thought.  In today's NFL, it is common to have 3 CBs on the field since the NFL has gone to 11 personnel --3 WRs, 1 TE--65% of the time, up from 55% in 2010; and if we have an injury to Horn or Jackson, there is not a lot we can do).  With Johnson and Horn on the outside and Jackson on the third WR, our secondary is solid, preventing us from having to cover the third WR with a S, who would be assigned to TEs instead. 3.  TE Tyler Warren:   The only way I take Warren is if I plan to use him as a multi-dimensional offensive weapon.   He would give the Panthers an elite TE (when we have been good, we have had an elite TE and an elite ILB) and lessen the need to reach for a WR by giving Young a shiny new weapon.  There are a lot of teams who like Warren, so if he is still on the board, watch a team like the Rams try to trade up.  With Sanders as an option in a 2 TE set and depth, we would have a pretty good TE room. Chris Simms recently said Warren would be better than Brock Bowers.   Well.... In five years:  Warren finished his five-year college career with 1,839 yards, 153 receptions and 25 total touchdowns.  In three years:  Bowers in three years at Georgia finished with 2,538 yards, 175 receptions and 31 total touchdowns.
